    Going to see "The Empire Strikes Back" at the cinema. Question ??

    What old movies would you go back to see in a cinema hall if they were showing it ?



    Obviously most cinemas are showing some older movies just now. Pulp Fiction, Rocky, Jurassic Park etc are all put here just now.

    "The Empire Strikes Back" is 40 this year so.....crazy to think it was actually released a year before i was even born.





    Anyway, looking forward to it !!

          I went to see it a few weeks ago. Loved it. It’s a movie that must be seen on the big screen.

          Enjoy!

                  Yup. I went (twice) when the 'Special Edition' of the original trilogy was released. And yeah, one of those "must see on the big screen" movies. Definitely!

                  Shit even those were many years ago now.


                  But yeah looking forward to seeing it again from the viewpoint of a now nearly 40 year old ha !

                      Bars, pubs, restaurants all open here. Much safer spaced apart in a cinema than in a crammed restaurant.

                      I went to see "Tenet" the other week. Which was a decision i regretted. Purely because the movie was shit nothing to do with masks or covid in general...

                          There is no "safer". You risk everything for very little.

                              wouldn't risk it myself - that's all

                                  I wouldn't say risking everything lol.

                                      I wouldn't go to the theater now cause ours require you to wear a mask the whole time. But if Covid wasn't a thing I would go see Office Space and Grandmas Boy (but since I have 90" tv I can watch both from home).

                                      I saw last week The Goonies was playing locally and smacked my head saying 2020 is a crazy year.

                                          LOL. Top Gun.

                                          We did just this years ago... We went to see Top Gun at the IMAX theater. It was fucking awesome. Wife and daughter came with me.

                                          I would totally go see Top Gun again in the theater. Or Star Trek - Wrath of Kahn.

                                                          During the movie, seriously ??

                                                          Here we just need to wear the mask on entry then you get escorted to your seat and then you can take it off. You are only sitting with who you go with anyway and the next seats with anyone are further away than any seating plan in any of the restaurants that's for damn sure.

                                                          Hell people here are sweating their balls off in fucking gyms yet right next to them is some other mofo with only a perspex screen separating them. Fuck that shit.


                                                          I felt absolutely fine in the cinema here. But no i wouldn't sit through the movie if i had to keep the mask ON.

                                                              Covid is aerosolized in its spread. Being indoors for a long period of time, with or without a mask - if there is someone infected with the virus in the theater, regardless of distance, the chance of becoming infected is high. With enough time, the chances approach 100%

                                                              Think of it like smelling smoke. If someone is smoking at the other end of the theater, you will eventually smell that smoke. That "smell" is live active virus. A mask will delay it, but it will not stop it.

                                                              Just because other venues are open, does not make them safe. In fact, if you look at the numbers, you see that the opposite is true.

                                                              And dying of Covid would be a blessing compared to the long-haul destruction that happens to most people's bodies (even asymptomatic). If you enjoy sex, don't get Covid. You will likely live, but your heart and lungs will be forever damaged - which will make it so going to the gym is no longer an option. Sex has to be short and low-impact. Hair loss, loss of taste and smell (so far, appearing to be permanent loss for some, permanent diminishment for others).

                                                              Is it worth risking all this to see an old movie?

                                                              Tell you what, let me know the answer to that in a year or two. I guarantee that many many people will wish the movie they had seen was "Back to the Future" and they had learned to build a flux capacitor so that they could stop themselves from being Covidiots and ruining their lives.....

They showed only old movies, but the cost was $5.00, and I loved it. I went to see Empire Strikes Back, Avengers and others, all in IMAX or Ultra AVX. It was like seeing them for the first time.

                                                                                                      Each threatre held only 25 people, and all seats were assigned seats. You had to wash your hands, wear your masks, etc etc but it didn't matter. Even though I have a home theatre with big screen and sound, I still *LOVE* going to the movies.

                                                                                                      When the eased restrictions, I went to see TENET in IMAX. The seats let you sit 2 people together, with 3 seats on either side closed. The seats in front and behind me were also closed. If I had to guess, there were about 100 people in the sold-out theatre. C19 protocls in place.

                                                                                                      Unfortunately Covid-19 rates are rising again here so they will probably go back to the tigher restrictions any day now.

                                                                                                        Comment

A couple at the very back row and me sat right in the middle row so.....I think i was distanced enough. Definitely didn't need to wear a mask during film time. I don't think i would go at all if you had to tbh.

                                                                                                                              I would totally go see Top Gun again in the theater. Or Star Trek - Wrath of Kahn.

Although my brother did at a birthday party he was invited to from a kid in my grade. My brother was 3 grades higher. I wasnt invited though. To dorky I guess.
