Chapter Social at an Open Captioned Movie - an excerpt by Pauline Weiss: "Open captioning at the theater – wow - what a difference watching a movie that has open captions! I found it so enjoyable ...your eyes can stay focused on the screen, enabling you to enjoy the movie so much more with the open captioning appearing at the bottom of the screen immediately as the person speaks!..."
PS - Vickie says, "We are excitedly waiting to see Tom Cruise in Top Gun - Maverick, but it was even more exciting to have open captions to know what he was saying!!!
