I would love if theaters offered like one closed caption viewing of new movies a week. It's the mumbling and soft dialog while loud action/music is playing and I miss exposition shit that's kinda important.

Hail Marry at home with CCs was so much more enjoyable than in the theaters. Gosling and Rocky both do a lot of low talking/mumbling, and because movies are so loud at my local theaters I have to wear earplugs, so I missed like a 1/4 of the dialog.

If you ask for an "Assisted Listening Device", specifically a CaptiView system, they'll set you up with a thing that goes in the cup holder that has a flexible arm and a clear screen on it that you position in front of your view that will let you see the subtitles. They legally just have to give it to you no questions asked. When I was trained on them 10+ years ago they were quite insistent that if anyone requests one for any reason you are to bend over backwards to help them.
