I miss drive-ins. They are really bad business models (can only run a few hours a day) but I enjoyed them except in the summer with heat and the mosquitoes. We used to get those little swirls of stuff you burned to keep the mosquitoes away.

me IRLThe stupidest thing I did in a theater was I had some fried chicken wings, and I wanted them, so I just put the wings in my pockets and brought them in. Fucking disgusting lol, literally the fried chicken right in my pocket. That was decades ago (but not as many decades as Chuckzombi has lived!). Nowadays I just put a large flask full of whiskey in my pocket and bring it in, I'll buy their overpriced diet coke, pour 4-6 ounces out and fill it with my whiskey. Yum!
Consider we shouldn't want theaters to die. If they die then nothing stops the studios from charging 30 or 40 bucks for a "first run" movie. We need that competition to keep prices in check.

$20 seems like a pretty great price. I'd certainly pay that for 4k theater releases from home instead of going to the theater.
Cargo shorts and women's purses my son
$20 to rent at home vs $20 to own later down the line. Yeah no thanks. A new golden age of piracy gonna happen though. High-def rips the day of theatrical release.

You do know the typical length of time it takes for a vaccine to receive full FDA licensure? Have fun...i know when shit opens back up i am not renewing my A-List sub, I have enjoyed it now for like 4 years paying $20/mo to see pretty much every IMAX and Dolby movie but until I am vaccinated up the ass against covid and bat flu and cobra dick and VR herpes i am not gonna be going to movies, concerts, flying, eating at restaurants, etc. To be fair I never did any of those things except for special occasions but going weekly to theaters was my one vice. Now it'll just be shooting guns and getting better at it.
i think a recent poll said something like 40% of Americans will venture out once places open up, 40% will NOT until a vaccine is developed, and 20% are unsure. I don't see how any of these businesses survive if 40% of their clientele have vanished for the next year, at least.

Guys theaters are going to be OK. They got this shit figured out. My local theater just sent me an email letting me know I can pick up their shitty overprices concessions curbside and take them home to watch movies.
Lets all breathe a sigh of relief now.
Those M&Ms have been sitting there since early 2020 too. Not going to be the freshest batch.
