jackandahatSo I'm watching the DVD of Bond, Die Another Day. One of the commentaries is Pierce Brosnan and Rosamund Pike. For the first 45 minutes you've just got Pierce on his own - and it's subtitled, so I'm in love.
Then Rosamund shows up. And I'm thinking, I can see her words, why can't I hear her? That's because apparently, he's being played in the left earphone and she's being played in the right. I'm sure this is supposed to be some trick about placement or something, but what it actually means for me is I can either hear her, or him, not both of them. (Deaf in the right ear)
Thankfully the subtitles mean I can still follow what they're both saying, which I'm very glad for, yay subtitles. But I've never met something that was quite this distinct about left/right.
ETA: Yep, they win, all the special features on Disc 2 (this is the UK version) are subtitled.
