Hollywood supported the lockdowns. Can't feel sorry for them.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Bring back Drive In theatres.

[moovova]

I love it.

[ecomcon]

Boo Hoo for Hollywood. Nothing but recycled politically corrected garbage.

[Mr. Jeeves]

We lost buggy whips...and I’m still heartbroken. :)

[dfwgator]

Die, Hollywood, Die!

[liberalh8ter]

Oh, the Horrah! What would Hollyweird’s best and brightest do for a living if their industry gets wiped out?!!

[EEGator]

Gal Gadot is hot, but I’ll take prime Lynda Carter first.

(Because they totally want me...)

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Jenkin’s Twitter page is full of leftist crap ....F her.

[CodeToad]

We didn’t lose much.

“We Could Lose Movie Theater-Going Forever”

---

What took them so long. The last time I went to a theater was because my wife really wanted to see War Horse. Meh. It was better at home when we streamed it a few months ago.

I really enjoyed Avatar in imax 3D. Other than the eye candy aspect, the movie sucked, though. I also saw episode 1 of star wars when it hit the theaters because I had free passes. But that’s my moviegoing history this century.

A halfway decent home theater and 55” flat screen at home is literally better than the theater experience. Why bother?

I think this lockdown is bringing a lot of changes that were waiting in the wings. The biggest one is Work From Home. That is a serious game - and culture - changer. I feel for owners of commercial real estate in cities. They are going to take a serious bath on this.

Leftist tyrants are figuring out that living under tyranny isn’t as much fun as they expected.

[CodeToad]

“(Because they totally want me...)”

Oh, so YOU’RE the guy they’ve been cheating on me with!

[Responsibility2nd]

Well, bye.

That was my first thought, too.

Frankly, I’m surprised its even still around. Home Theater is miles ahead of where it was decades ago. And on-line is faster.

Things change.

[Savage Rider]

No more $15 popcorn and $7 drinks? So sad

[CoastWatcher]

If you think they are angry now, wait till they find out the shutdowns were not necessary and were only a political move to oust Trump. When Democrats say BURN IT ALL DOWN no one is spared.

[caseinpoint]

Agreed. Cancel Culture has destroyed humor, creativity, historical dramas. What’s left Is propaganda not worth the price of theaters and exorbitantly expensive refreshments.

[spudville]

Nothing but recycled politically corrected garbage.
Isn’t that the truth? Hollywood hasn’t had an original plot in forever. Let them sink into the muck they helped create.
