One of our movie theaters, Old Mill Playhouse, re-opens on Friday, February 19 with many CO-VID prevention safety features. Only one auditorium opening with six feet distancing; limited seating; hand santizer available; staff health checks, required hand washing and mask wearing; recommended guest mask use, etc.

Their first movie for the February 19 to March 4, 2021 period is "News of the World" starring Tom Hanks.

I will wait until more people use the safety precautions "recommended" but not required.

I assume they will be opening the auditorium which seats 300? This is Auditorium 1. I have seen many movies there since they opened Old Mill Playhouse around late November of 2005. King Kong being one of the first.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - Wikipedia

I recall being the only person at this showing at Old Mill Playhouse in 2005 and it was very unnerving. Still recall that Jennifer Carpenter did a great job in the role of Emily Rose.

...personally ZERO interest in returning to movie theaters to watch a flick. No doubt so many of us have become comforted by watching movies in OUR home theater. Ability to pause the film, our own snacks/drinks, no crowds, no masks, our own comfy seats, no one chewing- coughing - smacking, slurping etc, and so on.

Would MUCH rather pay $6.95 or such and be in OUR environment.

On the other hand, for live shows - I am AOK to attend those.

Wearing a mask while watching a movie is a pain. Have to do it when I donate platelets and that is with a needle in both arms so you have to ask a phlebotomist to adjust it every so often. And if your choice in movies is a bad one then you are stuck with what you started.

I did want to see News of the World
but it does come out on DVD/Blu Ray in about five weeks. Love Tom Hanks in just about anything. He has only made a few movies I did not care for at all.

Loved the details in this one which I saw in Oldsmar, FL with my aunt in 2004. She did not know why I was so elated with some things.

With respect to one of his latest films, I
still have not seen Greyhound as I do not subscribe to the service where it is available.

Got a year of Apple TV+ with purchase of a new iPhone. So far, Greyhound is the only movie I have watched. It is very well done but has very little plot. I watched it because my dad manned the radio room on a Coast Guard cutter during WW2, looking for U-boats.

I am looking forward to seeing On The Rocks with Bill Murray. With 3 or 4 Sixers games a week right now it is difficult to schedule movie nights!

Those of us who are vaccinated can enjoy going to a movie theater. I can't wait. Hope I will be able to snack on popcorn SLOWLY so I don't have to put on a mask.

I have really missed the experience in a movie theater especially with the really large screens. Not to mention the audio systems. We can not duplicate that sound in our home. We had a home theater set up in NJ but it is still not the same as a movie house.

I do not plan to wear a mask in a movie theater but will make sure I am distanced from the next party. If I must wear a mask, I won't be going.

Let's not forget that Lazy Mac's Taco Shack is also opening with an expanded food and liquor menu, live entertainment, and a comedy club.

I have been going to Leesburg and Ocala for quite sometime. I am glad they are finally opening up here.

I have not seen any movies opening of late worth a trip out-of-the-Villages. Wonder Woman 1984 looks like a very weak sequel to what I thought was a very good first movie in Wonder Woman.

I agree with you! Masks and vaccines
Looking forward to some fun in the future , just don't want to die for it
