Curious About Difficulty
I am working on a project in my ASL class and I am trying to find out how hard it is for Deaf or HH people to find a Movie Theater that offers CC in order for them to go and enjoy movies like ones that just come into theaters. Please let me know how hard it is, I know it can be hard because it is hard to find anything really.

Good times, good times.

Some of people might rely to internet website to check if there is any CC movies are on the specific date. I went on e last friday and turns out the person who works for the caption machine was off that night and the movie didnt show the captions and me along with my friend wasn't happy and they gave us only two guest pass tickets
 which they did not even refund out money as well, we both decided to write a letter to them soon.

I also subscribe to the newsletter from both of my local theaters. They offer either one movie/day with open captioning or (in the multiplex) one theater that always has rear window captioning.

We have one theater in one complex that has rear window captions. It is never what I want to see, it is hard to use and I would rather rent DVD.
If they had open caption, I would like it more.

 I thought that there would be a lot more CC movies. Only 6 within 10 miles of here.

Some of the theaters have Open Caption or Closed Caption, or Descriptive Video, but I have a hard time finding one near me, because most theaters that does have (CC), (OC) (DV) are too far from me mostly two to three hours away. I find it so unfair.

It's not hard for me.
The movie theater that shows OC movies here is Regal Cinemas. So, I go to regalcinemas.com and see the listing there.

I used it once, it was a small screen that fit into my drink cup holder I think. It was see thru and you lined up the captioning on the bottom of the small screen on the big movie screen, the arm was bendable. It was alright, at least I could get what was going on in the movie. Don't usually go to movies or watch much tv, rent the odd dvd if it has subtitles or cc. It frustrates me cause many good documentries are not cc'd.

I rather wait for DVD to come out, as most of movies are screened with CC in the middle of week and Middle of the day..... there is deaf workers who work week days!! Sigh....
they also only screen it 2 or 3 times before moving to another local cinema so if it shows i often is busy working/doing something else. they give one weeks notice usually on thursdays before. Not enough time especially if you are working. |

In the perspective of a hearing person I don't see where the problem is with having captions on the screen. we have it when we watch kung fu movies and we are fine with it. why not just always have them on the movies for everyone.

Well, The RWC (Rear Window Captioning) may be worth it for some people but as for me, I HATE HATE the RWC. It is so annoying because whenever I attach the RWC screen to the seat, I have to set myself in the rightful position to be able to read the caption through the RWC screen to be able to look at the movie screen. Also, even if I move a little bit, it will be out of place and I have to set it up in the rightful position over and over again. It's just bunch of hassle which is why I despite it.

 You too? When I asked them if they had CC, they said no but we have wireless headphone systems for the hearing impaired. I'm like huh? That wouldn't do a thing for me.
