Its' not really that it got more expensive - they just won't go out of their way to ensure that you do want to pick the promotion, yes, and pay less instead of more. :P

an actor can do and say a lot with their voice
Which is why I said the bit about dubbers being actors as well. :) It's not the same - but believe me, it can get close enough. Do keep in mind that my experience withd dubbed movie is probably different from yours, and/or from Americans. Here in Italy, every single movie is dubbed. Always has been, for as long as I can remember. To see a movie in original language + subtitles, the only way is internet renting the dvds - there is a (as in one) cinema I know around here that shows movie in original language, but it does so only every now and then, and only with pretty famous titles. Those who (like me *g*) go out of their way to see the original are mostly seen as snobs. ;) ...in fact, come to think of it, of all the people I know there's only one other who does.

...with that 10000 words paragraph, I meant to say that we've built experience at it, and skill. It can be done well. I mean - if what you say was entirely true, then they would feel fake as well, wouldn't they? It would be annoying, and prevent you from losing yourself in it - but it doesn't. Most of the times, it really really doesn't.

And the bad thing is that subtitles isn't really an alternative to dubbing, in that regard (dubbing takes away half of the original actors' acting), you know? :( If you don't know the language well enough to be able to use subtitles only as an aid, you will end up spending half the movie (or more than half - I've never been a particularly quick reader) reading the lines and missing out on so much of the acting, the body language, the glances and suchlike. I stuck my tongue out at dad, when he moans and complains when he sees I'm watching a movie (well, one he would be interested in) in English and with subtitles, but I half understand him too.

HEHEHE. Can you tell I love discussions like this? ;D And I LOVE YOU! ♥
