Why Is There No Closed Captioning On Porn DVD's?
Also, you'll find NO foreign language subtitles and no alternate language audio tracks. I've never seen any with director/actor running-commentary tracks either.

And just ONCE, it would be nice to see some "out-takes" and a "gag-reel".

Am I expecting too much?

1. Could get just a little redundant...
Is it really neccessary to translate "OH, YEAH" into "OH, JAH" or "OH, OUI" ir "OH, SI" along the bottom of the screen?

Wouldn't mind seeing the out takes and "gag" footage though.

4. You may have just hit upon...............
a HUGE untapped market there arwalden! This could be your ticket to financial independence, FAR better than those credit card swipers that are always touted on TV as a way to riches.
Kudos on your entrepreneurial ism!

7. What exactly is there to close caption?
The "action" on film should speak for itself. Not exactly a lot of plot in those movies (I have seen only one so this may or may not be true.)

Don't forget director's commentary and the previews/teasers.


Seriously, good question, what, hearing impared people don't like porn? Or is the 'dialog' too banal to worry about??

10. I think one could
...simply write "OH OH OH" on a scrap of paper, and tape it to the bottom of the screen. So, if you got confused, you could refer back to the paper to know where you are in the plot. ;)
