8. I find dubbing to be highly distracting,

because the mouth movements never match what's being said. I'll stick with the original language and subtitles every time. Plus, I know a little German. Also some French and Spanish and some isolated words of Russian. I always notice that the subtitles don't quite match exactly what is being said, but the two are never so far apart as to distort the meaning. Usually what's said in the original language is simply more complete, more interesting, or references something the English-speaking viewer might not understand.

I might take a look at it. Thanks.
