At first I assumed that this was a problem stemming from the less than stellar cast so I wrote to the people who made the DVDs. They wrote back and told me that too many copies of this movie were lying around unwatched on the shelves of the rental places, which caused a peculiar breakdown in one part of the DVD. That made the subtitling come up whenever the movie was started, so it had nothing to do with the cast. They concluded, "Default, Dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in our shelves."
