Hi All,

I'm by no means against the serendipitous accessibility that happens all
the time.  The point of things like audio description is that you don't
have to rely on serendipity to enjoy a movie.

Peter, what do you think your attitude would have been had you not been
able to get any descriptions.  Would the movie have been as enjoyable?
What if you knew you could go to any movie any time and would be guaranteed
of the description being there?

The NFB attitude seems to be that serendipity and learning to ask are good
enough.  Well you know what sometimes there's not someone around to ask
about a movie or maybe you'd like to talk about something else other than
the descriptions.
