So it's odd to watch a bad movie through ELL eyes--they're a lot more silent--those who are more literate are fixated to the subtitles which they read ahead of time, while you're much more attentive to other details as the audio track is not your best friend. It's also odd to see the same bad movie over and over again--people talk so fast in English, and there's just so much glibness.

Thankfully, when my student who's a troublemaker pulled out the DVD he wanted to watch, I was relieved it wasn't some obscure ethnic porn (what do ethnic people consider ethnic porn?), but just the Incredibles. Whew.
