KillHour posted:Trump is at -14 with Rasmussen. It's been worse in the past, but not by much. One of the interesting things, as Nate Silver pointed out, is that Trump's disapproval numbers are now higher among likely and registered voter models than among all voters; this has not normally been the case. Part of Rasmussen's conservative bias is that they have a very restrictive likely voter model which tends to under-count new and/or young voters. If Trump starts sinking with more traditional voters, his Rasmussen numbers could tank relatively quickly because their assumptions about the population that normally work in his favor will start working against him.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Because we all know that Trump's campaign was harmed by hours and hours of news focused entirely on him. True, but back when he was campaigning in 2015-2016 he was a lot less senile than he is now. In his hours of free time blathering on MSNBC back then he was stringing together mostly coherent, incredibly racist thoughts, and that appealed to people who wanted an angry racist dullard to vote for. Now, four years later, his brains are just pure pudding and on display on TV every day.

Ffs I really am not convinced of the “senility” observations, and the passage of time has not made me any more so, quite the contrary. He’s just incredibly stupid and lazy and relies on a library of knee-jerk go-on-the-offensive defenses for everything that worked a lot better back when he had no need to defend any of his own actions and only had to attack the other guy’s. Now he’s trying to use the same off-the-cuff extemporaneous tactics to weasel his way out of every piece of responsibility and accountability that comes his way and all his allies are having a harder time coming to his rescue since he insists on doing all his own PR every day because “ratings”. I can’t help but think that the more we beat the “his brain is mush” drum, all we do is distract ourselves into solving the wrong problem. We have to identify the enemy accurately before we can fight it, otherwise we’re trying to fight a virus with hydrochloroquine and antibiotics IF YOULL PARDON THE EXPRESSION

big box movie theaters probably aren't coming back. Ghost Leviathan posted:Because we all know that Trump's campaign was harmed by hours and hours of news focused entirely on him. The campaign was almost exclusively him doing huge rallies and just saying whatever the gently caress he wanted. He promised everyone everything and he got to run against the most hated american politician since the civil war. What he has to do now is appear as a steady point in the middle of an economic and health crisis and people are seeing through it. I'm honestly as surprised as anyone. but every day he just says the stupidest thing possible and looks like he's losing it completely. it's hard to hide.

Disney is just going to transition to streaming poo poo like everyone else. Movie theaters are going to go the way of record players, which honestly I think is fine. Let the end of the huge blockbuster movie industry be avengers, forget that star wars ever happened, and move on. Forcing people to make more things like Mandalorian and fewer things like RoS is a good thing.

Oh so it's greed then. Don't wanna say "then you had it coming", but... Hmm. I wonder if this happening will change the way businesses are run in the futu-- hahaha right. The grabbing hands will always grab what and when they can. Like... any reasonable person who isn't already living from paycheck to paycheck knows it's a good idea to keep some savings in case of emergency. Hell, my apartment complex expects you to have a few months of rent pay in stock in case you lose your income. And if a person fails to do that they're labeled foolish and "bad with money" . I'd have thought businesses would have been run with emergencies in mind too. Framboise fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Apr 11, 2020 |

I'm sure it's an absolute edge case, but the only thing I've been to theaters for in the last 10 years are the Rifftrax Live shows, where they perform in one theater and stream it out to a couple hundred (I think) others nationwide. I'd certainly watch them from home streaming if that were an option, but there's something about being in a theater full of people seeing something for the first (and in some cases only) time that would be lost. And I feel like the licensing for some of these movies would prevent them from being an option.

Not when the response is “$20 to rent once?!? Haha haha, to the seas I go!” When a month or two ago it was “$80 for a family of 4 to see a movie, plus another $60 in food? This seems acceptable!” As a person that just ends up seeing a lot of movies for like $3.75 at AMC on Tuesdays... AMC going away would be really sad. I’ll probably see less movies as a result.

No not really, if it's a public company it's not their money, they're supposed to give it back to the stockholders if they're not reinvesting it. Having a cash reserve to hedge against risk is definitely a thing but revenue dropping to zero for months is pretty unprecedented Also the theater industry has been slowly dying for a long time now, most of the companies have been struggling to keep the lights on before this started.

BigglesSWE posted:The Draft House chain? I hear they treat their staff horribly through this. They definitely do, have a bad record of protecting abusers, and their food has been bad since they switched suppliers ~2013 or so. I appreciate that they offer some cool, niche events but honestly movie theaters as a thing are pretty unnecessary now. There will be some tiered streaming options and everyone will adjust and theaters will become another retro thing like drive-ins are now that you hit up once or twice a year or for a special event.

watching a movie on your couch and watching it in a movie theater aren't really comparable things. most people go to a movie with friends and treat it as a social experience, like going to a bar for a drink rather than drinking alone on your couch. lots of people like to leave the house and be around other people.
