Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Um, yeah.

 

That, or people have realized they can stop paying inflated prices for so-so movies they can see on Netflix in six weeks.

 

During a pandemic, sure. I’ll do the VOD thing. I bought the new Bill and Ted on Friday. But once it’s safe I’m going back to the theater. I enjoy the experience.

Workers Reveal Disney Is Covering Up Its COVID Cases

 

Hmmm...I'm going to disagree with Kyle Smith, who's a film critic and not some nobody, but I don't think he's thought it through very well.

First, not all of them are open. Probably 30%. Second, I'm not sure that that many people know, where they are open, that they are open. Third, Tenet is a guy flick - women, tbh, are smart enough to know just from a trailer that some movie about reverse time isn't their bag any more than Inception was - and I think the targeted market of guys in their 20s, 30s and 40s are...pretty busy at the moment. Or they're cash-low. Or a lot of things.

Movie theater terrification wasn't the No. 1 thing on my mind. People have no issue rolling into bars, and those places are hives for the disease. Tenet just isn't that flick. Inception did $62 million opening, and that was Leo, plus Nolan coming off of The Dark Knight, plus it looked interesting, plus it was 2010, and back then, a Christopher Nolan movie was a !!! thing. It's not that now.

If Disney had thrown Mulan in the theaters, it would have done very well. It would have given parents something to do with their kids, for starters.

 

Seriously? I didn't know I had to have a penis to appreciate something about reverse time? I mean just science fiction in general or stuff that's too technical for my little tiny female brain? That whole paragraph there is a massive pile of sexist crap, including the idea of the only men of a certain age are busy and perhaps cash poor right now.

How was Bill and Ted?
