What do we have here? Mel Gibson in a priest’s collar praying over his unconscious son. Why can’t everyone just use subtitles? Dubbing is the worst way to localize video. The fewest people can actaully enjoy the film this way. I think the one channel (and volume setting) frozen on my TV must be revolving, because yesterday it was a French Baywatch knock-off, this afternoon it was dubbed Kim Possible (Disney), and now Signs? Ooh, coming up next, a dubbed version of Blade. I think that may be okay because the dialogue is pretty irrelevant in even an intelligible language.
