Stop needlessly exposing yourself and others, Jesus Christ. I'd say it's not that difficult but we're in month 6 of this stupid bullshit because people can't just SIT loving STILL. Don't go to the movies during a pandemic, goddamn, why does this need to be stated.

I still don't see how it's wrong to sit in a 200 seat theater and watch a movie with six other people who are far away from you and everybody's masked. I believe the virus is real I believe we need to isolate and kill this loving thing but come the gently caress on.

Don't be in crowds. Don't go to a sellout show. Don't be around large groups. But you can see a barely attended afternoon matinee with the proper protective equipment.

honestly the biggest unknown for me is the HVAC systems in the theaters. They have them running constantly (especially in the summer) and since you're in the room for two hours straight I would almost say that you should assume that if anyone in that room has COVID, you're definitely going to be exposed to it for a good amount of time. You're not going to get it from the soft drink station or the poor employee who is getting paid minimum wage to deal with entirely too much poo poo but I hope you trust the people who are in that room with you because you're putting your health in their hands for a few hours. if you're truly in an IMAX theater with like, hundreds of seats and there's only 4 of you and you've each got your own 50-seat square to yourself you might be alright but oh man if that's really what is happening (and all of the stories coming out about Tenet and WW84 getting pushed further back seem to confirm that it is), the theaters are probably gonna keep hemorrhaging money even if they stay open edit: one of my ,movie theater friends moved to a bigger city and got a job at a reopening theater and his job is entirely just cleaning theaters with like, a full protective suit and spray-sanitizer wand. It's sort of funny given what we now know about transmission, it's basically public safety theatre (no pun intended) to convince people its safe when if they do catch it at the theater it's not gonna be because the seats didn't get sprayed down DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Sep 14, 2020 |

This isn’t about everyone being masked up and properly spaced and feeling relatively safe. You’re taking advantage of other people doing the right thing to partake in an activity that 1) would be dangerous if everyone also partook in it during a pandemic and 2) undermining the community’s resolve to minimize the spread of the virus. Because it only takes one or a couple of assholes to start a chain reaction of “well if he’s going to do it, what’s the point of me sacrificing what I want” in a community.

i thought it's possible for americans to rent a whole screen for less than US$200 and watch it with 20+ people? Just organize and do that and make sure nobody kisses (which should be easy since there's zero romance in the film)

So you’ll be believe this but then say: Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:That's why I distance, mask up, and use common sense. You’re potentially exposing yourself to a virus with a fatality rate around 1%? To say nothing of contracting it and spreading it around your personal bubble. Even with protections/precautions, it’s not foolproof. You’re being selfish. We all have to do our part. Individual choices contribute to the greater community’s health and you are actively making your community worse off. Congrats, you saw Tenet. Please don’t go to a theater again.

A moviegoer can see a movie if they fully accept in their heart that the virus is real, the virus is serious, the virus is dangerous, and that conditions require some dramatic steps to be taken for safety. If you consider that to be equivalent to standing on the shoulder by the side of a busy highway with a hand lettered sign that says "SPIT IN MY MOUTH: FREE!" Then yes you are absolutely a joyless scold.

I made what I believed to be an informed choice and I'm not going to sit around and feel guilty like I just peed on the rug. I did it, it's done. If you want to be more safe and cautious then more power to you! This poo poo is real and there's not really such a thing as "too safe" or "too cautious".

I think everyone is just frustrated because in America there are people who have actually modified their lives to minimize the threat of COVID to both themselves and the larger community and basically everywhere in this dumb stupid gently caress country there are people who are just going about having decided that the time for moderation is over and if the disease isn't gone then dammit we'll just have to live with it, what are we gonna do not watch football???? one person doing one unadvisable thing while still trying to minimize their risk is not hurting anyone when we're in a country full of people who either don't think the disease exists as it does, don't think that it's really that important to prevent it, or don't think they have any responsibility to anyone else. I can't blame someone for wanting to go see one dumb movie.

Are they bringing back drive-in theaters and outdoor movie screenings yet because those would be pretty okay if you do it carefully whereas on the other hand an indoor movie theater is basically a COVID death trap

I just feel like I missed something because my understanding was that masks work Even if you're in poor ventilation, if you are wearing a mask and the other people breathing the same air are wearing masks, nobody will transmit or contract COVID, and in fact there was at least one potential superspreader event that got averted (with nobody getting sick, not even asymptomatically) because everyone was wearing a mask Like, this virus is scary poo poo, but the advised precautions for going out in public seem to be pretty much an ironclad "do these things and you will not get COVID" situation rather than a "you might make your chances slightly better but you're probably still hosed" one

Tenet is a good movie to see in the theatre. Please use common sense and judge how safe it is for you, your loved ones, and those around you before going to the theatre at this moment of time. If it is safe for you, while taking appropriate precautions, then it is a film highly recommended by members of this page. If it is not safe, please do not risk your health on a movie. Does that cover it? Can we go back to bitching about Mulan or whatever we were on before this derail? Also, Mulan bad. Watch the original again instead of the live action.

It's a matter of degrees. Without widespread testing and contact tracing (which we should have had in place by now, but of course we don't), we can only really deal in probabilities.
