You’re not the exception. American movie-going audiences overwhelmingly prefer dubbed movies to subtitles.

That was the primary objective reason Hollywood offered in refusing to distribute Gibson’s “The Passion.”

I guess I’m an exception, cause my roommate and I don’t like seeing or renting a foreign movie that’s been dubbed over in English, and if historical movies are made in the original language, we prefer that too. The two exceptions were Night Watch and Day Watch, cause she really disliked Russian, the subtitles were sloppy, and the actors who did the English track at least had Russian accents...
