Why I like subtitled movies

I like watching foriegn films. According to my friend Nick, every Hollywood movie is technically a foreign film for me. Technicality aside, I mean non-english movies with english sub-titles. According to me and several others, the big difference between books and movies is the how books allow our imagination to run wild while movies limit it by providing us with visual stimuli. Both has its pros and cons. But movies with sub-titles to an extent has a bit of both worlds. As I dont understand the language, I am free to interpret how the dialogue was delivered and what the character really meant.

Here is a movie reccommendation to feel what I am talking about: Pan's labyrinth

Brother ! Odd marketing

While walking through the aisles of the local super market I came across a book that had a catchy name. 'Brother Odd' by Dean Koontz. I flipped the book to find out what its about but instead of what critics say or a short description of the plot, I found the photo of Mr.Koontz and his dog glaring at me. Is he that big a name? I dont know, but I am too lazy to open the book and find out.
