She's wrong, Cinemas are not going to die....they're already dead.

 

As movies became longer and longer in duration over the last couple of decades I noticed that I would pretty much always need to go to the toilets once during the show and miss part of the movie.

 

Why should I do that? I could sit there and drink nothing for 3 hours but I like either a water or some kind of soft drink and maybe even a hotdog or some popcorn while watching.

 

So I don't go to the cinema, ever, not in these days of 3 hour long movies.

 

I would however pay a very good fee to watch the latest release around the time it first comes out via some pay per view app so long as I can pause it whenever I feel like it while watching.

 

3 hour movies require bathroom breaks especially if you're drinking.

Being a pirate, I prefer to wait a couple of days more for the torrent and pay zip and then do whatever I like with whomever I like.

The really frightening thing, and something that would stop me visiting the USA again, is that 70 million people like him and wanted to give him a second term in office. Truly shocking.

But most people realize that they are children with guns.

Venus on the half shell was a great book, by KT or was it KV jr?

Probably means they will just relocate Patpong Road to here.

Well, those of us that have seen a bit of life, we know what walking street has always implied.  Such a shame that a whole nation pins its future to it.

Let's face it.  He wasn't exactly Glen Campbell, was he?

What a porker anyway.

Mmmmmmmmm...............selfies during class, very educational I'm sure.

I don't believe that to be true.

Below are some of the benefits of the vaccine as described by the CDC

"All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States have been shown to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19 "

but the vaccine is only 95% effective at preventing you from getting the viruce , you still have a 5% chance of getting covid 19 even if vaccinated, but if you get covid 19 and have been vaccinated,

"Based on what we know about vaccines for other diseases and early data from clinical trials, experts believe that getting a COVID-19 vaccine may also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19 "

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html#:~:text=Based on what we know,get COVID-19.

Isn't that what I just said?

So much for covid wiping them out.

and now they are telling us that the vaccine won't stop you from catching it.  It will just help you not to be so sick when you do.

Damn!!!

Steady Neddy.  He is only expressing an opinion.  No need for vitriol.

I guess the young ones have their people, it's just that I can't think of any.

Them Chinese who are in Taiwan and Hong Kong, some of them reckon that the CCP are evil. But how many of them Chinese in mainland China reckon that the CCP is evil ?

Are the Chinese in China aware that the bug is still killing loads of people in America and Europe ?  Are the Chinese in China thankfull that their country has gone back to being normal ? Do they believe that their country has gone back to being normal because of the response done by their government ?  I think the answer to all three questions is, is yes.

Yes, yes and No.

Do I note a bit of racism on this topic.

not really.  Even the Chinese will tell you that the CCP are evil. That is what this is all about.  An evil regime, not an evil race of people, though after countless years of living in fear, most Chinese are reluctant to leave themselves open to anything.
