Every time I go to the movies and it's mostly empty some mfer always sits RIGHT next to me regardless like wtf you could sit anywhere else.
Fast 9 got delayed damn near a whole year, there went my entire reason to go to a theater this summer.
Yeah I'm totally still going to see movies. I like movies.
Harvard said 70% of the entire population is going to get it, so...whatever. Might as well just keep on keeping on.

Shut it down. Just shut theaters down.
Watch movies at home. Or when this is all over.
How fucking selfish can you be??? And your statement is fucking ludicrous. You need to be fucking called out on this.

I think ya might be overreacting just a wee bit there. I'm going to keep living my life and washing my hands. It's really not that big of a deal.
I am not overreacting. Stop going to movies. You need to make adjustments in your life so others may live.
It is a big deal. Educate yourself. Washing your hands will not fix this alone.
Imagine still thinking this. What a fucking idiot.
Cool so this is what the CDC says. But of course, what do they know?
I'm not sick, I have no symptoms. I'm not going to put my arm around a stranger in the theater.
This right here, this is beyond silly.

The best way to prevent COVID-19 infection is to avoid exposure to this virus and use healthy habits.

In bold, second line of the fucking site. "The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus." this is your defense for continuing to go to movies, an act that would surely increase the likelihood of exposure which is the opposite of avoiding exposure?? Arm around someone??? Please cite where you are reading that. 4th and 5th line: Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Exactly. "We are concerned with the health of our attendees, but not enough to still not want to make money!".
That's cool when you're flying solo, but not when you're either with a friend or family. It does get really old though after the 100th time hearing someone chomp on popcorn, mess with a plastic wrapper the entire way through, or simply non stop talking. Picture is better on my OLED anyway, and the main reason I even go anymore is just for the big blockbuster, or horror film 4-6 times a year because they happen to be available when my friends are free.
Uh. So you want them to pay employees for a month and not be open?
That seems like a rather big ask.
Unfortunately it's going to be a no from me dog. Drive-in theaters? Sure.
Onward is about to be the #1 film for the next two months.

Ya, I mean, at this point I'm not going to go to a packed Friday showing or anything, but I'd still see a Tuesday daytime showing where there's four people in the theater. I'll take a few wipes and wipe the area down first. We should be making adjustments, but we also still need to live our lives to some degree. This could literally go on for six months or more. I'm a lot more likely to have an issue at my packed office than sitting two rows away from anyone at a movie.
I swear to god, if popcorn had never been associated with movies before and they tired to get that shit going today, people would be so pissed. I love pocorn, I fucking hate hearing it at the movies. And the people who ruffle the bags! Chew with your mouth closed!
Based on your attitude, I'm guessing you go to all these movies alone. Which helps make sense of your ignorance in regards to the exposure of others.
No joke, when I went to see TLJ the first time, and we had reserved seats (which were dedicated to D-Box only at the time), I had to sit next to someone who had a ten course meal of crunchy shit in crinkly wrappers the entire way through. It literally sounded like someone eating a huge bag of nachos, and when that was finished, a bunch of candy, then back to some other crunchy thing until they were finally finished with twenty minutes left of the film. I've never been into one of the theaters yet where they actually let you have a dinner...all the slurping would probably drive me mad.
You'd think now that they have restaurant theaters, people would just go to those. But nope, gotta have a 18 dollar, 6 inch frozen pizza in a normal ass movie theater.
