The Hunt for Open and Closed Captioning:
The 2GuysTalking Television Review Blogs Rolls Up It’s Virtual Sleeves and Digs In

It’s not the next title for the 5th installment of Indiana Jones, but it IS a new adventure happening right here at The 2GuysTalking Television Review Blogs! Working in combination with some valiant electronic soldiers from The St. Louis Captioned Media Committee, our most recent effort here at The 2GuysTalking Television Review Blogs is one near and dear to my heart. In addition to being Hard of Hearing myself, my wife and several close friends are Deaf to one degree or another. Though that might not mean much to you it’s always been somewhat of a dice throw for events at my house, or even when we go out to movies, or visit a friends house for a movie.

Does the DVD or feature film we’re going to see have captioning available?

For those of you who say “but can’t you just read their lips?” or my favorite, “you can just watch and understand the action, can’t you?” I would counter with the most recent Indiana Jones film. Were it not for the advent of what is regular and continued open captioning for movies in our modern cinemas, there is no way in Indy’s Alien Infested Head that you could possibly know what’s going on in that movie. Another great sample is to imagine watching that same movie but it having no volume at all - do you think you’d enjoy that?

The Hunt for Captioning, both Open and Closed, truly IS a hunt that continues into our online realm here at The 2GuysTalking Television Review Blogs.

Those soldiers of captioning from The St. Louis Captioned Media Committee, along with my help and the help of a growing number of volunteers, will create a great reference guide to past, current and future captioned media of all kinds right here for everyone to view. Our goal: To showcase the continued need for captioned materials and the often-frustratingly reality of finding items that simply do not and refuse to not have captioning. You’ll also get some great reviews on things you might not yet be watching that might look interesting. It’s all about access and awareness.

This is our test, our war, our desire and we hope that you’ll chime in with YOUR items that you’d like to see/know if they’re captioned or not. Log into the “Caption Hunt” category here at The 2GuysTalking Television Review Blogs” and read our steadily-growling buffet of items that dialog the good, the bad and the ugly of the open and closed captoining world and remember to visit The St. Louis Captioned Media Website online. They’ll be happy for your traffic.
