Well, obviously which is why I said imo.

Is it your time of the month?

Why do people fail to see the humor in an obviously humorous retort to a previously made sarcastic comment?

Ah, the mystery that is the rhetorical question.

How long before our postal delivery and shipping depots are shut down with this virus malarkey? It’s turning into a shitty year.

I have had 23 titles delivered this month from my domestic Amazon, Amazon.uk, and Amazon.fr.

If it gets really bad, Amazon can send in the drones sung to the tune of...

I have a feeling the theater industry is going to have its worst year in a couple of decades this year. With social distancing and lack of cleaning in theaters concessions are going to be be none existent this year. Also foot traffic will probably be way down and theaters will either close or have minimized occupancy if Italy is any guide.


I wonder if it could get bad enough that companies just skip the theaters or most will simply try to push their releases to next year.

man looking at fandango... theaters are actually totally empty already around me not as much risk I suppose if your the only one in the theater.

I’m debating whether to get in early with the titles already released.

Shipping is going to be the very last thing that shuts down. It's one of the best ways to minimize people going out and getting the virus more directly. The only way the post office will shut down is if the us goes into a full quarantine and they basically lock down the entire country for a month like italy and china because hospitals are being overwhelmed.

I know it’s temporary, I wasn't suggesting otherwise.

Also, your description is a nonsense. Someone has already caught the virus, been given the all clear and then been reinfected. You absolutely CAN get sick from the same virus twice.

Which is highly possible.

Buying physical media is always a great choice. Waiting out the pandemic with a nice new selection of movies is as good a reason as any to buy more now.

Then why do I get the common flu again and again? (Seriously asking)

He is talking crap. There have already been cases of people catching this new virus and then recovering only to get it again.

True.

So, corona virus is topical, but Star Wars isn't? I foul here!

This is as good a place as any to get the ball rolling.

Like the virus itself, Star Wars will mutate into endless variations infecting our culture with Disney's play it safe mediocrity and cringe worthy attempts at inoffensive humor.

Meanwhile we have geniuses like Lynch to keep the quality up.

“I Feel Like I Know Her, but sometimes my arms bend back”.

You never caught Yoda saying that! Although he did talk backwards to be fair!

Here's a frightening thought: imagine David Lynch making a Star Wars film, but for Disney. Disney would still manage to drain the life out of both film and director leaving only the hollow husks of name recognition behind to attest to what could have been.

You heard it here first.
