Cinemas don't have subtitles. That's a deal breaker.

Is this an exclusively US thing? Back when I was in Asia there were always subtitled showings and non-subtitled showings. The better theaters even had a dedicated teleprompter at the bottom so the subtitles don't block the movie.

I’ve been around Australians. I definitely need subtitles.

Depends on the country, but I feel you. It's a deal breaker for me as well.
