Hiya Folks, I haven't ranted, raved, or whined lately so let me take this opportunity to do so. As you all may or may not know some new technology has occurred inorder for the deaf/Deaf to watch movies via captioning called " Rear Window " . This piece of new technology was the reason why I was able to watch " Star Wars: Phantom Menace " during the opening week. After I left the movie there was a statisfied smile in my face, and I thought to myself, " Gee...isn't modern technology so wonderful that they are now seeking to include people who 5 years ago weren't inculded? " But this is when my rants come in. As you all may or may not know, a movie starts tomorrow called, " The Blair Witch Project " . Many people 'claim' to say that this movie is far more scarier than, " The Excorcist " . However, I hope to debunk that claim because NO HORROR MOVIE is FAR MORE SCARIER than " The Excorsit " ....okay maybe " The Shining? " , but that's another story. Anyways, I was hoping to see 'Blair Witch' opening day like I saw " Star Wars " but lo and behold...NAY. Why? The theater that provided Rear Window Captioning isn't playing it opening day!!! And the theater that I used to normally go to doesn't provide Rear Window Captioning!!! Anyways, I'm really irked. I was hoping to see this movie during opening day, but I guess not. Why am I writing you about this, you ask? Well, maybe because, I, like Caren, am bored. Or maybe because I would like to start, with your help, a letter/e-mailing campaign to MPAA or whoever that all theathers have rear window captiong during opening day of their flicks. I also would like to start, with your help, a letter/email campaign to MTV. Why you ask? Because lately MTV hasn't played any music videos but saturated their programming slots with 200 hours of the 'Real World'. Although I must applaud them for finally captioning 'Road Rules' this season. However, I'm still a little annoyed to find that some programmings like " MTV: Lovelines " and " MTV: Undressed " aren't captioned at all and pfffft.....they're not even music videos for cryin'outloud!! Well, these are my rants...thanks for letting me vent but I'm really serious about writing/emailing MTV and asking for more captioning on their " original programming " . I emailed them before, but I doubt they'll pay attention to one person. Again thanks...

Let us know how we can help with these campaigns for movie theatres and music video programs. LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
