[il-talk] AMC accessibility

Sat May 26 01:39:59 UTC 2012

Here in Chicago at a couple of the theaters that has not been the case.
They have the use of the headphones in certain theaters.  For example, if
the theater itself has 5 screens, it will have the headphones in theater 1
all the time.

It's not law in Florida where I'm from.  But, they have it in the AMC
theaters down there too.  

Here's the thing, I haven't listened to this yet, but in Florida, the
closed, or open captioning, and descriptive headphone options are only in
certain theater auditoriums, and at certain times of the day.  Not usually
when normal people go to the movies.

I hope, that AMC doesn't get away with doing the same thing here.  Most deaf
and visually impaired, or blind people would like to go at the same time
normal people go, and with their families and friends, but you can't do that
in Florida.  That's how they've gotten around that loop whole.

Just a thought.
