Never again, apparently. Die, cinemas. Die.

The idea of going to cinema atm does not really appeal I try n keep out of crowded spaces I know it’s each to there own but it’s safer for not to mix large groups I’ve ordered the film on blu-ray so I’ll watch It when I see it
SW-User
@Ilovebustyladies Do you ever have bother with Blu-rays working?
Ilovebustyladies · 51-55, M
@SW-User all my blu rays work admittedly I use a PS4 as the transport need to get a new proper player
SW-User
@Ilovebustyladies I see. So it is always updating! Good call.

We've had upwards of 120,000 new cases per day recently in UK and people are still raving in nighclubs. I think most of them are still alive. I hope their grandparents still are too, a few weeks from now.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@PhilDeep everything is open here also but it's not the same
No....but I have been to three concerts.
Venues packed out...loved it.

Before you go to the movies and die at the ventilator, could you please send me your SW coins ?
Thank you.
helenS · 36-40, F
@ExtremeNext That would increase my SW coins amount by 0.273%.

@helenS 🧐

@helenS you need those coins to send me gifts.
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
Saw the James Bond flick in a nearly empty theatre
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
@ExtremeNext what would James Bind do? :). Then again can’t you just rent it on a streaming service there and watch it at home?
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@DownTheStreet I'm sure it can be done but I miss going to the movies
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
@ExtremeNext yeah I hear you …only reason I went was ended up having to wait extra 3 hours to pick someone up from airport so thought wtf let’s see a movie. I guess it depends on how many people are there … but you won’t know until you go?

Don’t know how old you are, If vax’d, if healthy etc etc but if so I think you’ll be fine and comfortable if it’s not busy

Hmm maybe? Lol
Elessar · 26-30, M
Got vaccinated and went. We're all still alive.

(This was pre Omicron tho)
Mikeawesome1986 · 36-40, M
@Elessar Just remember the vaccines take about a week to fully protect you.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Mikeawesome1986 I know, I obviously waited roughly 14 days between the two events
Elessar · 26-30, M
@ExtremeNext Hmm, better wait until the case peak and go down. From what I've seen in SA this new variant took much less than usual to peak and diminish

I'm on the cautious side as well, btw. Not because I'm particularly at risk, but I've seen a "mild" form of long COVID in my family (19/M, perfectly healthy) and I'd rather avoid it altogether if I can.
room101 · 51-55, M
Been quite a few times both here in Barcelona and the UK.

The UK was a bit of a free for all re Covid protocols. Which freaked me out tbh. Here, things are much more socially responsible. Masks and various forms of social distancing and capacity limits.

I'm going in the next few days to watch the new Spider-Man film👍
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@room101 ✌️
annamk · 31-35, F
Yes about 8 times and I've always felt safe, can wear a mask in your seat if you feel it's necessary.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@annamk it's compulsory here
Sharky86 · 36-40, M
Just a couple of times or something like that.
Sharky86 · 36-40, M
@ExtremeNext I've watched mmmm I don't remember and Spiderman some days ago.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@Sharky86 🧐

Rhode57 · 56-60, M
No I detest paying the price of cinema tickets now so wait till it comes out on dvd then all the family can watch for about a tenner.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@Rhode57 what's the price?. It's $24 here
Lostpoet · M
The last time I went they killed Wolerverine 🥺

@Lostpoet
Wolerverine

Sounds a bit like a kind of salad. Or a pirated Wolverine action figure you'd see at one of those old pop up flea markets. <3
Lostpoet · M
@SW-User oh. Wolverine sounds like a salad?
Haven't been yet, but those that have had said they're practically empty
@SW-User Tbf, I'm not a huge fan of going, so it doesn't bother me
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@V00doo they did for about a year then all restrictions were lifted now I think it's just a mask required inside the cinema but not sure that might have changed now to 75% compacity
Mikeawesome1986 · 36-40, M
I went to see Venom 2 and Eternals. Both were quiet, late screenings. I was so paranoid being there though.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@Mikeawesome1986 I used to go once every 2 weeks, will the world ever be normal again
Mikeawesome1986 · 36-40, M
@ExtremeNext I'm sure it will. But people need to be patient and follow rules.

The last one I saw was 'Joker', which must put it at two years ago.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@UpForItNow before covid? I want to go to use up my voucher from the service nsw app
UpForItNow · 22-25, F
@ExtremeNext I think it was just before. There's really been nothing since that has interested me. The industry must have really shrunk, as I used to see 2-3 movies a month before.
Rhonda · F
Only the theatre and there was social distancing of sorts
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@Rhonda 👀
Rilyn · 31-35, F
No, they closed them down here anyway 👀

@ExtremeNext a sudden surge in cases....👀

I've gone 4 times since the pandemic began.

No, not even if you didn't wear your mask.

I would update your will first. Dying intestate is messy.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@KiwiBird 🥺 OK
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
@KiwiBird This is sound legal advice. SW is the greatest!
MartikaDuponte1 · 36-40, F
No, don't be bloody daft! They're well ventilated and stuff. Plenty of space either side of your 'group'.

However, I've not gone since years before the outbreak....but wouldn't go anyway, just for the simple fact that you are required to keep your face covered...and, for me, sitting and watching stuff isn't active enough for me to forget about a face covering.

basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
Yeah I went to see the Matrix on Thursday. First time since January 2020.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@basilfawlty89 good or bad
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@ExtremeNext I personally liked it, thought it was better than the third movie.

I have seen a few films so far , I am not afraid of covid plus I got my vaccine back in the spring . Stop being sucked into the fear that biden is doing .

hunkalove · 61-69, M
The last time I was in a movie theatre was 2001. The first Lord of the Rings movie. It sucked.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@hunkalove it was a classic 🙃
hunkalove · 61-69, M
@ExtremeNext Loved the books, which I've read several times beginning in 1967. The movies were just violent CGI bullshit.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
I don’t go to the cinema anyways. The movies that come out these days suck
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@DeluxedEdition most yes 😩
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
I rarely if ever go to the cinema anyways. I rarely if ever watch movies!
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@ExtremeNext Correct
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@FeetAreFantastic Are there distancing and mask rules if you go?
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@FeetAreFantastic masks yes distance not sure all restrictions were lifted a few weeks go now we are getting thousands a day
SW-User
A few times. I went to see two of the LOTR movies during the summer. They were playing here again for some reason

I also saw the new Halloween movie this year and it was awful

@SW-User LOTR extended edition played one after the other for something like 12 hours straight 🥴 I'd take a day off work if it was a thing here lol
