*Subject:* Re: movie audio description app
I actually got free passes to my local theater, as they insisted that
the movie, "Sully" was not audio described. I later found out it was
actually so.
I'm not sexist, nor am I ageist, if that be a word, but it was a
Sunday afternoon when we went. Normally, our theater is wonderful,
and there isn't even a question of doubt when I ask them for one of
the headset devices, but that day, they took about 15 minutes just to
find a headset, then the gal who was behind the box office counter
must have only been... Sheesh! I'd putter at maybe no more, pushing
it, at most, 16. I thought that was against child labour laws to allow
someone that young to work, but, I won't go there. Anyway, she didn't
have a freaking clue! The headset she gave me wasn't even charged, so
I took it back. She gave me another that was only barely charged, and
it only seemed to have the listenning assistance turned on. When I hit
the button to swap over to description, all I got was static. I went
back again and told them, and they insisted that they didn't have
description for that movie, and that nationally, regardless the
theater chain, no one had it for that title. When I finally called
back, showed them the IMDB page that states it had it, and then even
had a friend who saw it described call and tell them he saw it
described, they finally confessed that the kid working the counter
that day was new, and didn't know anything about it. Frankly, taht's
no excuse. She should a been trained before being hierred. I'm sorry!
They agreed, and because of it, we now have 4 free passes, being 4 of
us including myself went that day.
On a sidenote, don't see Sully if you can't get description for any
reason. It's very visual! You'll need it, trust me! If you can see it
that way though, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen!
Anyway, my point is, not to get too off topic from mac related things
continuing this thread, but I agree with Ryan. You may need to insist
that the movie is described. If they don't know what you're talking
about, which they should, but if they don't, then educate them. Most
theaters have some form of internet access. Do what I did. Don't ask
them to, but insist! demand! that they go to IMDB's website, and look
the movie up. If they refuse, then either have the movie detail page
up on your phone, or have an already made printout of the details page
for the title, so you can show them first hand that it has audio
description. That way, if they say no it doesn't, you just put it back
in their face, and say, "Oh yeah? Really? Then, explain to me what
this little logo means." I've been known to not be the nicest about
this with some people, but hey. I get it done.
Chris.

Nope, but if you're visiting one of many chains that now offer
audio description, just borrow a device from their customer
service desk. As an example, where I live in San Francisco, AMC,
Century, Alamo Draft House, they all have listening devices
available. My suggestion is to get there early, ask for a device,
and repeatedly insist that they make double, triple sure that they
chose audio description, video description, visually impaired, or
whatever their software suggests isn't assisted listening.
Assisted listening is when the movie's standard soundtrack is
instead fed to the device. This helps hearing impaired individuals
enjoy the film. Many connect the device to a hearing aid, or to a
streamer that sends the audio to their Bluetooth hearing aids.
Clearly you just want that audio description track, so if you get
into the theater and the audio you hear in your headphones matches
the house audio playing for the trailers, go right back out and
insist they chose assistive listening, and ask them to reconfigure.
Good luck,
Ryan
