I know it's not everyone's favorite but I saw the last Star Wars movie with open captions at the Showcase in Providence Place. I was only person in the theater and it was pretty awesome. Way better than those awful captioning glasses.

I so rarely go to the movies so I don't remember the last one I saw there. Usually go to the Showcase in Seekonk, MA but they use the glasses. Also go to the Avon in Providence for more indie-type films. They usually have the glasses but they don't always work. I hate those things. It's such a terrible option for some who needs reading glasses and regular glasses....
