Why do the deaf always have a chip on their shoulders?

He is the definition of Bull

Stupid post. Would you sit there and listen to a film for 2 hours in a foreign language you didn't understand, with no captions available? No, you wouldn't, whether you pretend here you would or not. So there's really no difference.

Well, she missed out on this, her loss.

Is it really a "walkout" when your captioning device doesn't work and you can't watch the movie? No, it's leaving the theater because it'd be a waste of your time to sit there.

What a misleading headline and a stupid non-story.

OP- There was an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent about the murder of a doctor by some deaf 🧏‍♂️ person- the deaf people in the episode were so FUCKIN stuck up.

It's literal violence!

OP is a big troll- real big and full of shit.

^Hi Marlee!

She claims to be an expert lip reader so what's the big deal?

Someone should speak to them.

R7 types like a Deafee.

If you invite film festival jurors to sit and watch your dipshit independent movie, and one of them is the most famous deaf person alive today, and you give her some janky little box that doesn't work, can you really blame her for walking out early?

The movie was almost certainly a stinker anyway, and Marlee has other shit she'd rather be doing.

As to the studios and distributors bitching about the "cost" of adding closed captioning to a film - FUCK THAT NOISE. It's a digital process nowadays, and the technology is there to easily make this work without running a second print of actual film. These assholes can spend $10 million "de-aging" Harrison Ford's face and blurring out the nipples on Superman's suit, but they balk at adding closed captioning? What a bunch of assholes.

Setting aside the fact that it was perfectly reasonable for a deaf person to walkout when there was no working method for captioning, this statement is ridiculous.

You do realize that there is an enormous difference between the blockbuster budgets and box office for de-aged Ford and Superman nipples than a small movie like this and the majority of other movies.

Of course you can spend the money to de-age Ford when you expect the movie to hit $700mm - that janky Crystal Skull last outing made almost $800mm worldwide and that was 15 years ago.

OP is a troll. Stop falling for their;bullshit. They're destroying DL.

Shannon?

Dagger???

Give it a rest, Marlee/R14!

AH SEY AHM OUTAH HEEW!!!

R15 I thought they meant it in the "Black Stud Who Fucks My Wife/Husband While I Watch" sense.

Have you never seen a movie before, r9? There's narration and dialogue that is delivered off screen that would be completely missed.

The deaf and hard of hearing are very sensitive. I work in the policy world and they frequently complain and get things wrong. I always try and be empathetic and patient because they easily get offended and then spread misinformation.

"Disabled people are weird and stupid!"

R20 Poor you. Can you imagine what life is like without hearing? Maybe you’re not as patient as you think and that’s why they get offended?

I feel like many, many posters here need to walk a mile, as it were.

The average DLer has the emotional intelligence of a 2 month-old and the empathy of a concentration camp guard.

[quote] Have you never seen a movie before, [R9]?

Have you seen THIS movie, R19?

I demand that all of Charlie Chaplin's films be provided with proper captioning.

[quote] Can you imagine what life is like without hearing?

Can you imagine what life is like without seeing? That would be worse.

[quote] The average DLer has the emotional intelligence of a 2 month-old

Emotional intelligence isn't as important as intelligence intelligence.

[quote] Jonathan Majors new bodybuilder drama

Is the movie full of fast-paced, sophisticated dialogue?

Hey OP I’m mumbling the word “cunt” at you - there again it could be anything.

A friend from college ended up marrying a guy with a deaf sister. Her sis-in-law was always a pain in the ass but she mostly kept it contained to within the family. After she married a deaf guy all of a sudden it was non-fucking-stop. It ended up with the two of them bitching and complaining about every little thing inside and outside of the family. It ended up with the family limiting their contact to Thanksgiving and Christmas only.

Maybe it was just this couple or the family dynamics or whatever but it was awful and there was no appeasing them or dealing with them.

Why? Is it because they want everyone to live in their world, like all those gender fucking pronoun generating gender fluids, and either live in zir world or fuck you, ATTITUDE?

They are constantly at war, poor zings.

I'm not responsible for their deafness, their parents are.

umm. youtube will automatically caption speech on your uploaded vids.

just sayin'.

Agreed, R2 and R4.

[quote]Members of the dramatic jury — consisting of Jeremy O. Harris, Eliza Hittman and Matlin — decided to collectively walk out of the film as it began after a caption device provided to Matlin didn’t work. While the device was repaired hours later, it underscored a larger issue that has played out behind the scenes regarding the festival’s ability to make movies accessible to all viewers. The festival said the jurors intend to screen the film as a group before Sundance ends.

[quote]According to multiple sources, the jury has repeatedly expressed concerns to both Sundance and filmmakers that movies playing at this year’s festival should come with open captions. [bold]At other international festivals, including Cannes and Venice, movies are captioned in multiple languages on the screen. This year’s application for credentials to Sundance asked attendees if they needed access to captioning.[/bold]

[quote]However, multiple sources state that [bold]several filmmakers have declined the request to provide open captions onscreen, citing the costs and time associated with making another print.[/bold] Sources say that [bold]some buyers even suggested that including captions onscreen could somehow hurt the film’s asking prices on the market as they try to land distribution.[/bold]

Sometimes I turn on closed captions when an actor speaks too softly, too fast, or when they are not enunciating. Why is it that explosions, gunfire, tires screeching, etc. and even commercial breaks are always so loud but the volume level for dialogue is often at a minimum?

For about 3 months I was having severe hearing loss from undiagnosed allergies. People sucked. They were often rude, sometimes cruel. I became a recluse. I understand why the deaf might have a chip on their shoulder.

Deaf men have a higher incidence of male homosexuality.

That has been my experience, at least.

[quote] the festival’s ability to make movies accessible to all viewers.

The festival needs to be blamed for not making movies accessible to blind people.

R35 But how was your problem resolved?

(I've been meaning to watch this movie) but this one is about a deaf boarding school and only uses Ukranian sign language. I don't believe there are captions but I'm high so I could be very wrong. I like the concept of the hearing audience having to figure things out.

I want to see "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" using sign language.

R36, I've always suspected that there was a connection between gayness and deafness. At every gay event there seems to be a group of deaf people, but I've never seen research supporting this.

R41

My husband used to work in a bar that got a lot of convention crowds. The deaf lesbians were notorious for being rude, fighting, not tipping etc. Soooooo, not that different from the hearing?

You dont need no captions to see that big black dick

[quote] You dont need no captions to see that big black dick

Current movies are all about grunting and thumping, no intellectual chit-chat.

How would you do captions in a movie theater?

At home, I can turn captions on or off. But in a large audience in a theater?

Also how could you display captions in different languages?

Wouldn't that mean that the whole audience would see multiple lines of captions in different languages?

Trying to understand exactly how this would work in a theater.

Jeremy could made an effort and whispered the dialogue in Marleee's ear.

Deaf guys are great in bed but I made the mistake of having a deaf fellow meet me in my hotel room. He made so much noise that the hotel sent someone to make sure everything was okay.

I assured him everything was fine. And then I gagged the guy. He loved it (for weird reasons, I think).

It's a different world.

It's probably something like this, R45, it sits in the user's cup holder.

Found a video demonstration ^

Have you never seen Seinfeld, you fucking moron?

R9, 😆 🤣 😂

Oh, OP. What an asshole you are (and also that website you linked to)

This was "the walkout":

[quote[The screening device used to provide closed captions did not work at one of our Friday evening premieres. [bold]The jury left so that they could see it together at another time during the Festival.[/bold] Our team immediately worked with the devices in that venue to test them again for the next screening and the device worked without any malfunction.

R42, I think you're missing the point. R36 and I are speculating that there is a genetic connection between gayness and the likelihood of being deaf (or having severe hearing problems).

There's nothing worse than a bunch of drunk women, no matter their sexual orientation and hearing ability. They'll inevitably start screaming, cause a ruckus and become loud and obnoxious.

They are chronic complainers. They just don’t listen.

Fuckin' DEAFS!!!!!

I made a harmless little joke about deaf people on a radio show in Rochester, New York. The next thing I know, there's five protesters outside my next show. Think about this for a second. Deaf people got upset about something I said...on the radio. Who the fuck TOLD THEM???
