In this plague world, its odd for folks gather at a common place to share breath and popcorn, all to watch a film at a schedule time together but in total silence and not interacting at all.

Maybe its time to lower the curtain on the old theatre model of media.

Maybe also, we bring back drive-ins, I still love drive-ins 100x more than theaters, but alas moved where there aren't any right now.

That would indeed be fucking stupid if we had a pandemic of the plague, which kills up to 70% of the infected. Even though people behave as if it were higher, COVID IFR is only ~0.5%.
