[Arcadian Empire]

It is funny when people demand bailouts from the couches in their mansions.

[Highest Authority]

Time to return to the old “Drive Inn” setups.

[bray]

Jump off a Malibu cliff.

[wally_bert]

There is one called The Big Mo a few counties away.

A co-irker and fam live out that way.

They like going.

The last drive in I remember was Blues Brothers. I wasn’t gripped much as a kid.Seems like I slept through half of it.

[cherry]

millionaires and billionaires want the poor, the working poor, the middle class and all the unemployed to pledge to pay MORE taxes so they can keep their kingdom....

I'm waiting for a bailout of Broadway musicals....you know, where the head electrician gets nearly a half million a year...

[Gay State Conservative]

Good 4K TVs and players are easy to find and pretty cheap.Why,in God's name,would anyone want to go to a movie theater given that fact?

[boxlunch]

They want the ignorant, flyover rubes, the ones they despise, to bail them out so they can continue selling their movie propaganda of America hatred, perversion, the lie of white privilege, disdain of Christianity, and more disdain of we the normal people! No way!

[Gay State Conservative]

That's right...you've got a pause button,a rewind button,the bathroom's nearby...as is the fridge.And the popcorn and the hot dogs cost a dollar rather than ten.

[Arcadian Empire]

I hereby appoint you spokesperson for the Close The Theaters And Watch Movies At Home With Friends And Family Coalition.

[Dr. Sivana]

Red China’s open for business. You gear your movies to please your masters there, so go to them for a bailout.

[Gay State Conservative]

Before I accept the position what will I be paid?

[ballplayer]

Tell them to get the money from China, they own Hollywood now anyway

[Arcadian Empire]

We will seize and sell everything that leftists in your state own, use the funds to set up a trust, and pay you as much as that can generate across the next decade.

[Trump_Triumphant]

These bozos get paid a gazillion dollars a year. Let them bail themselves out.

[Safetgiver]

Clint Eastwood?

[wally_bert]

I lost interest in movie theaters 10 years ago at least.

[wally_bert]

Barney Miller is on Roku now for while.

[Gay State Conservative]

it’s been about 25 for me.

[ealgeone]

how come all the hollywierds are helping out with this??

[Seruzawa]

Yes. Open the theaters. So we can get the teenagers out of the house for a few hours, if nothing else.
