U.S. Movie Theaters Say It's Safe To Watch A Film: How About 'Unhinged'?
Buy anything from Pay Per View, make your own much yummier popcorn!
I'd only go to the movies if the theater staff were wearing masks and taking proper precautions and the theater was not crowded or the number of people allowed in each theater was greatly limited.
. . . what about the HVAC system ?
@FearlessFly never designed for germ control! Like any other indoor venue, a Bad idea!
This really sucks for me
I have missed my movie nights . I go every other Sunday , some x every Sunday for last 13 yrs if I am in town .
To me , cinema is a gift . I go alone , man , I pack all my snacks , Nutella , even spaghetti if I feel like cooking . Big screen is magic . And “ previous Jerry , previous ! “.
I missed cinema very much
There is a reason airlines went from almost totally recycled air to full cabin air replacement every 2-3 minutes, even though it reduces fuel efficiency and Casinos that used to scrub the air and recycle most of it, now cool outside air and pump it by the ton into the gambling floors even though it is much more expensive. I don't see movie theaters being able to make that massive an investment. So just like before the pandemic, I won't be going back anytime soon.
Any movie I haven't seen is not an 'old' movie.
I watch more movies that anyone I have met. I check them out of the local library -- we all have already paid for them. I haven't been to a movie theater in 20+ years.
IMO, any 'good' movie will/should still be good years later, otherwise I haven't missed much.
I like that: "Some people really do need to go to the movies."
Wha? No. No, they do not. And I won't be, either. It's totally illogical to believe it's safe.
Nope. I avoided them BEFORE COVID though, as any time I'd attend at least one member of my party would get sick. Every darned time! Nasty places.
@hankster I know! I shudder to think about it. I try to time my movie viewing when no one else is in the theater. Every time, if people come in late, they ALWAYS sit right behind me, ESPECIALLY if they are coughing, going to kick or put their feet on the seat in front of them, or going to talk/use their phone throughout.
I watch at home a lot. Am healthy most of the time.
Not for me... I'll go to a drive in theater though.. But not an indoor theater
