Read a movie before you watch it.

I know this isn't the best solution but I just thought I'd share it anyway. Imagine a group of friend are going to a movie in a theater and invite you along. Of course it's hard to find movies that have captioning. The nearest theater that has it in my are is about an hour and a half drive away.

Anyway I found a site that might be of a little help in this kind of situation. What you can do it so to IMSDB.com and read the script to the movie before hand. If you have a web enabled phone you could even open it as you watch the movie.

Like I said. I know it's not the best solution. But I'm thinking it might help us fallow along a little and at least know what's happening to some degree.

Just thought I'd share that thought.

Interesting. I looked at the site and checked for Clash of the Titans, which is what I next want to see.

Not there. I wonder if they don't have current movies?
 
Yea, that's a pretty new movie so it might take some time. There are other online movie script sites as well. I looked and can't find that one yet.

Alternately you can look for the subtitles for the movie and read that. Give it a couple of weeks and I'm sure you'll be able to find the subtitles and the script soon.

Cool! I never thought of that! I checked it and bookmarked it on browser. It'll be a good for me to read script before renting out movies that do not have CC in them.

Sad that there's no up to date or current movie that I would like to watch on theater such as " Alice in the Wonderland". My area do not have Open Captioning yet. They do show OC in Regal Theater in north KC MO which is a long drive but it's not Alice in the Wonderland.

There are several theater locally that have CC, I don't want to deal with Rear Wall Captioning at all. Bad experience and was pissed over it.

Be nice if they have current script that I can read it on my Curve while watching movie at theater. I agree with you it may not be the best solution but it helps!

That's not a bad idea bec last Sunday I was frustrated. AMC Theatre 25 at Times Square advertised that they had Alice in Wonderland captioned. They DIDNT have the movie captioned and worse of all they directed us to the WRONG theater room. I was angry because I had a five year old and my wife with me.

This has happened to me too many times and I know there's many reasons for this happening like bad disc, wrong info, broken captioning machine, blah, blah..I definitely want to try other options as my family do LOVE going to the movies.
 
An idea came to me. I made another post about adding subtitles to movies that you can watch on a mobile device such as a mobile phone. A long time ago I made a "Subtitle player video". Basically it's a video about 2 hours long that when you play it all you see is a black background image. So it's a 2 hour long video of nothing. But you can add subtitles to this video of nothing. So what you see when you watch it is just a black screen with subtitles.

Now, the idea is to make this so it can play on a mobile phone. So you'll be able to watch the subtitles on a phone as you watch the movie. It'll be annoying to have to keep looking back and forth between the phone and the movie. But it's just an idea and better then nothing. So I'm going to experiment with this. The hard part will be getting the timing to match.

Now, another though it is you have a device that could be watched with a micro display. Then you could watch the movie and the subtitles at the same time.
