    The theater I used to work at had a light up marquee sign in the back that displayed captions in reverse. Then they’d hand out these little semi-transparent plastic sheets on flexible arms that you could clip to your arm wrest. So just adjust the plastic until it’s in your field of view and reflecting the marquee in the back, and you had subtitles cheaply and without bothering anybody else.

      If they had the subtitles on a real screen and projected the movie screen and room behind the subtitles via a headset display… Would that be AVR?

      Those are horrible. The captions are down there, and the movie is up there. And sometimes the arm goes limp and you have to prop it up again. And where do you suppose I put my drink? On the floor?

    No, you absolutely do not want that.

    Next time your in the theater, shine a torch on the seat, and then imagine it on your face.

      Definitely don’t bring a torch into a movie theater. You’ll set off all the fire extinguishers and get kicked out.

        That might be the only way to make it clean again though.

        Indeed. It’s slightly less dangerous and more fun to just yell, “FIRE!”
