We haven’t yet but we have been talking about it. Even a big screen tv isn’t the same as the theater experience. Really miss it.

Spoiled
 

After 3 months of no theaters we are spoiled with our 70 flat screen and lounge chairs bathroom 20 feet away fridge full of soda/beer or wine popcorn and treats most important pause button controller. We have watched so much content that we had missed in theaters also streaming content not in theaters. Will not be gonig back for awhile.

With distancing and seating spaced, can couples sit together?? How does that work?

The most important precaution is staying 6 feet apart. Masks are necessary only when less than 6 feet apart. So it depends on how well the people social distance.

Yes couples or families can sit together. They leave space before the next section of seats in that row along with in front of you and behind you.

I stick to things outdoors for now and watch movies at home

i haven't gone simply because there isn't anything worth watching. i'm waiting for a decent movie to play, even like Fathom when they show classics. i'd love to see Sunset Blvd up on the big screen. :coolsmiley: i'll keep watching for new releases in upcoming months.

The masks protect you and other people. It works both ways

People always use eating as an excuse for not wearing a mask. I am beginning to think they will use anything to justify not wearing one. You can wear a mask and still eat or can take it off for the few minutes you are eating. I wore one to a restaurant and glad I had it on while waiting for the food because a guy at next table kept coughing and had no mask. I felt was better than having no mask although doesn’t entirely protect you from that other person.

Sad to hear that and definitely safer. if the place is totally empty That says that many theaters, especially in areas like this, will go out of business sooner rather than later. The world has changed and (whether one agrees or not or on what "side" one is on) this will be the "new normal" for a long time to come. It will get a little better but not fast enough to save some of these places.

Now you will even need to make a reservation to go into the Disney Theme Parks in mid-July when they reopen at 25% capacity. You can't just get up and go which makes their season passes pretty useless but, unlike smaller places they will survive at a large loss of course.

New Documentary about The Villages
 

Looking for this one in particular to hit town: Some Kind of Heaven. It's a doc following 3 Villagers and opened to rave reviews at Sundance.

Well, maybe, but I won’t bet my life on it. Is 6 feet of social distancing really enough?

I hear ya and I agree to all of what you said. What I do miss, however, is the awesome sound system in a big theater. We can not duplicate that in our home as we don't have a surround sound system as we did in our NJ home. Even that NJ system did not sound like the audio system in movie theaters.

I haven't been to a movie theater yet but I would imagine a couple or family who live together can sit together in a movie theater. Restaurants are distancing in a way that parties of up to 10 people can sit together. but will be at least 6 feet away from other tables.
