So I saw some awesome movies at the film fest this past weekend, including three that were subtitled. Why is it that two of them had only white subtitles, thus making it impossible to read when they are on white backgrounds (which kind of happens a lot). Seriously, how hard is this to do? These are all newer movies, so really it's just laziness. All you have to do is put a black outline around the letters! One simple thing, yet it makes all the difference in the world. So if you are in charge of subtitles for a movie, first what are you doing here, but second put in a damn outline.

I think I'm a member of that society, too. That's a really good point about the outlines, I never thought of that.
Review the movies you saw!
Oh yeah, the outline thing is ingenious in its simplicity. It's readable on both dark and light backgrounds then! WOW, Russell, you should be on the Committee of Subtitles or something.
