I just got returned from the Hong Kong action film “Hero” starring Jet Li. When I got to the box office and asked for a ticket to the film I was asked “You know it’s got subtitles, right?” Surprised at the question I responded “Well, I hope so.” The attendant smiled and told me that he had to ask. He then told me about a guy who yesterday asked “Is it like that in every theater in town?” Yeah, I guess asking people to read while watching a movie is just too much.
