Why do some discs disable the "subtitle" button on the remote and make people go through the menus to turn on or off the subtitles? I hate that (I hate it because those discs make it impossible for me to turn the subtitles off. The only way my DVD player lets me turn subtitles off is through the button. The menus don't work to turn them off).
So far, I've only noticed it on "Bring It On" and now on "Heartbreakers". To me, it makes the movies unwatchable since I cannot turn off the subtitles (If I want to look at subtitles, I'll watch a foreign film). But I would also think that it would make it harder for customers who might actually want to change the subtitles without having to stop the movie and going to a menu.
Of course, why a company would make a DVD player where one has to turn off the subtitles everytime he watches a movie is beyond me, too. I guess the answer is just going to have to be for me to throw this player away and buy one that actually works.
But I still don't like the way the subtitles are set up on those movies. The manufacturers put a button on the remote for a reason. Might as well make use of it.
