Accessible Odeon Update

Last summer I wrote about Matthew Somerville, his Accessible Odeon project and how Odeon took offense to it and closed him down.

I’ve just got an email from Matthew saying that he’s written a Greasemonkey script that cleans up the official Odeon site so that it can be used in Firefox. The script can be downloaded from the Accessible Odeon site. You’ll need to get Firefox and Greasemonkey from the usual places (but if you’ve got any sense you’ll have them already).

Of course, I’ve into the habit of going to the Clapham Picture House instead. It’s nice to support smaller (and friendlier) cinemas, but it’s good to know that the Odeon site is at least usable and that Matthew is still fighting the good fight.
