Good doc, just wish you'd subtitled it, Jim


Especially the rapid-fire answer scene.

Are you serious? The entire thing was in English you twit! Perhaps if you have no concept of accents then you need to leave your ranch without your 15 gallon hat and go see the world! p.s. Learn the metric system too so the rest of us can be sarcastic without needing to convert everything...

So what if it is in English?
Subtitles are not meant to be used by non-native speakers. Even those who understands English can benefit from English subtitle, especially if the conversations are barely audible, or if there may be confusions. You, how certain words almost sound the same, e.g bear & bare, some & sum, etc, etc.

And it helps those with hearing impairment to understand the film, too. If not for the subtitles, they could only watch the video without understanding what the film is all about.

There are many websites which publish subtitles, mostly uploaded by Netizens who enjoy making and sharing subtitles. My most favorite website is http://www.subscene.com/

Cheers~

There's no need to be such a jerk.

I understood everything but that doesn't matter. It's hard to tell what people are saying sometimes in accents. I've been to Canada and sometimes it's hard to tell what they are saying. I mean sometimes I just have to get them to repeat what they were saying, for the most part I could understand them. Here, I rarely have to get people to repeat things.

You have got to be kidding. You have a hard time understanding Canadian's sometime when they speak. Are you referring to the english speakers ?
If so they you need to leave your circle of the USA and experience more people.
I am glad you chose to even travel to Canada but couldn't understand them.

It has nothing to do with where I've been, stupid.

I've been to Canada 10 to 15 times, for the most part I CAN, it's just I gotta listen more closely than usual. It's just like if someone comes down here to the South from up North, it might be a little hard to know exactly what we are saying.

Reread my post. I never once said I can't understand them. And it was not a choice of mine anyways. Have you ever heard of parents? You know, those people who make you do things if you are young and you really have no choice unless you want to be homeless? I had to go. I wanted to anyways, but that doesn't matter.
