Heck, I'd be grateful if more publishers fitted the DVD versions of their movies with subtitles. It's amazing how many modern movies still aren't. (Or at least LABEL stuff properly. There is at least one TV series out there that is labeled as subtitled, but isn't.)
There is far too little consideration of disabilities in many a publishers' office, simply because they don't know or don't care.
'Course, I'm just an entitled cry-baby LOL.
