Thank you for sharing that link Tony. I had not seen this before. There is no doubt that much of the success in getting captioned movies in our theaters lies with the people in that theater's area to do some personal advocacy. I will share this with our HLAA chapters in Wisconsin. Maybe we can get something going!! While I'm willing to use the cup holder captioning device, it is a bit cumbersome. Worth it though.

Thanks Tony for the information. I quit going to the movies many years ago since I could not hear the dialog. I came home and got the movie from the library so I could watch it with closed captioning! I am going to bookmark your link for future reference.
