Along with 28 million of other Americans, I have hearing loss and have to use captioning to understand the dialogue and speech on television. I am not completely deaf but have a hard time watching movies or tv shows that don't offer captioning services. I would love to enjoy watching a new movie like many people take for granted, but without the captions I just can't keep up with what's going on and usually have to watch the movie again when it's released on dvd to understand what went on in the movie. Movie theaters already make accommodations for disabled individuals in wheel-chairs, I am simply asking they have a showing available for their movies that would have captions or English subtitles at the bottom of the screen. The technology is already there as almost all new films come ready to be subtitled in whatever language the country speaks where the film is being shown.
Please AMC Theaters, start having shows with captions available for patrons with hearing loss that affects 28 million Americans. Thank you very much.

| I'm going to tell you a secret:
Assuming a life-span of about 80 years
And multiplying by 365 days without fatal accident,
you have about 29200 total days of your life.
That's right, suckers.
But wait, here comes the fun part-
now you have to subtract the number of days you have lived *so far* from that number-
your age X 365 = __.
Now, here comes the fun ... In my case of 43 years, my number of days lived has been 15695.
So...29200 - 15695= 13,505 days left to me.
13,505 days left to live my life.
Strangely enough, I find this somewhat comforting;
I plan on doing things that will last with them, at least trying to.
Planting seeds is good.
The formula is something like 80*365=29200-X (your age x 365)
Use wisely. Have fun. Thank you for playing. | | |
| "soul bound items"
all those items
of past instances
that you once treasured
and bound tightly to your soul
Have slowly fallen away,
one by one forgotten
golden talismans
that burned brightly
you held fast
against the darkness rising
up in loneliness and despair
your armor buckled
and sword kept true
to slay the beasts
that waited for you,
in the night
patiently, to come home
but you strayed too far
and stayed too gone
your treasures downgraded
to souvenirs and post cards
of past sunlit instances you lost in transit
on the downward spiral to your final destination
all those soul-bound items you left behind
have faded from neglect
and tarnished with rust
once radiant glories now dying candles
burning faintly in dim memorium
of all those past instances. | | |
