I dislike liberal Hollywood and the brainwashing they are going, so I rarely go to the movie theater anymore. It is a shame to see an iconic part of America go the way of the dinosaur. They have already been
hit by the conversion form film to digital.

The Hill:
The Obama administration is nearing completion of a proposal to
require that movie theaters offer technology so blind and deaf people
can go to the cinema.
The draft rule, which is part of a decades-long effort by advocates for
people with disabilities, would likely require thousands of movie
theaters across the country to offer devices that display closed
captioning and provide audio narration of what’s happening onscreen.
Disability associations say that the new regulation will make sure that
blind and deaf people can appreciate the latest blockbuster just like
everyone else.
But theater owners worry that a federal mandate will force small, rural
and struggling theaters to close given the costs associated with the
rule.
“These theaters can barely stay in existence and often need community
support to break even,” the trade group wrote in a comment to the
Justice Department’s 2010 precursor to the upcoming proposal. “To
require them to install expensive closed captioning technology at this
time is an undue financial burden that may result in these theaters
closing.”
