How true! Whenever I bring up the argument of having movies open-captioned at the theatres. The hearing people always have to whine about having to "read" the movies.


Well... what about us? We can't "hear" the movie. It's ridiculous. Rear Window Captioning is a pain in the neck. Literally and figuratively. It's much easier on us to read the captions on the screen instead of staring at a fiberglass reflector or whatever it is. Not only that, some people are unable to watch the movie and read the captions at the same time because of their eyeglasses. The captions are close to you while the screen is likely 15 to 50 ft away... for some people, they can't keep both in focus. I can, but some people can't.


Anyway, people can be so dense.
