I've often said I would pay up for new Disney animated movie releases I can watch at home, instead of going into theaters. If you have kids + parent, $20 ($30, heck $40 can be) is much cheaper than going to a theater.   There are some movies that are just better seen on a huge screen, however.

@Deranged Rhino  what are you hearing from your buddies in Tinseltown? You had mentioned theaters were in trouble before the shutdown, think they come back? And who needs who more right now? Universal or AMC?

 

 

Yup.  With 3 kids and making my own popcorn, it was about 1/2 price.  And the couch was much more comfortable for dozing off than a movie theatre seat.

Of course it's not the first time, and was the reason Cuomo blew his lid and announced $1k fines for future violations.  Yet, this funeral still went on with NYPD's and community affairs blessing and zero arrests, fines or tickets issued.  You'd figure that if people behaved in a way that NYPD wasn't prepared for, there would be consequences.  Sounds like NYPD was prepared for what happened.

 

But everyone is missing the most important factor in this.  It certainly looks like the Hassids have developed herd immunity already.  It's showing more like Seattle than the rest of NYC so far.

 

One would figure that a close knit insular community that still lives under 19th century rules would be dropping like flies, like it was early on.   But in the last 2-3 weeks, the infection rates have declined.  The data is consistent in Boro Park, Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Orange and Rockland Counties and Ocean County NJ, where you should have seen ongoing spikes in infections and deaths.  But it's not happening.  

 

It is not my theory.  It was a direct quote from a community leader who said that the event was coordinated with NYPD and community affairs.

 

Lazy & intellectually dishonest.

 

And yet you failed to state that point earlier.   Unfortunately I have no choice but to take this step following this exchange.  You're on the hoax list.

I thought you stopped paying attention?

Disinfectant “ travesty” ? Lol.... so much LSM drivel in here I don’t even know where to start. Pointless to even try, so congratulations on your allegiance to the Democratic Party. 

 

What's the drivel?  Trump said something profoundly stupid, then tried to pass it off as sarcasm, and then canceled a briefing (almost certainly on the advice of his aides and other members of the Republican Party who rightly recognized the damaging nature of the misstep) before holding the briefing in a different location where he controlled seating assignments and the prominence of positions given to reporters.  To my understanding, that control allowed Trump to relegate CNN to the back of the seating area.

I did.  Then I started again.  Now I'm going to stop again for awhile.  Don't fret; you will have a chance to redeem yourself and get off of the "hoax" and "suspected 'prog facist'' " lists soon enough.

  Yep. Don't have to deal with dirty restrooms and scary people at home as well.

I suggest you don't waste your few remaining brain cells.  Try Chlorox.

From the fake (presidential) news file.  I'll fill in the blanks for 5G and his ilk here: "But soon is a relative concept!  Dinosaurs were on the planet millions of years ago, so soon could be 10 or 20 or even 100 years from now!  And Trump is right again!  He never misspeaks! You're lazy & intellectually dishonest!"

More Americans have now been lost to the coronavirus pandemic over the past 2 months than were killed in the Vietnam war over 20 years.

My lip-reading skills are bad, but I wonder if Pence mouthed, "It's his fault" to Birx.

  Because a pandemic and a war a few generations apart make for an apt comparison?  Not from where any rational person is sitting.
