Giving "Going Viral" a Whole New Meaning
Don't be jealous cos California has 300 cases of the Coronavirus. What can I say? We go hard here, in Cali.
Hope everyone is well and aren't being put too out by this whole Coronavirus mishegoss. I happened to go to the grocery store last night just to pick up something for dinner and all the carts and handbaskets were gone, long lines as if it were Comic Con. People buying Spam so you know people have gone mad.
Went again this morning before work and all the meat was gone. This woman stood stunned and with barely contained desperation asked one of the clerks, "Are you going to get more?!" And the clerk gave a cagey, "Yes." Because surely he meant, "Yes, we'll get more...in three days when the delivery comes."
Pretty much everything in entertainment is being postponed. PaleyFest? Postponed. A screening I have next week. Axed? It's officially Emmy campaign season and Netflix and Amazon's annual installations are postponed, but will likely be canceled outright since they only hold them through the Emmy voting period. But it's fine. It's good. Public health consideration and all that.
If I can't attend Amazon's FYC installation this year, I'm glad I made it to their HUNTERS immersive experience a few weeks back in celebration of the series starring Logan Lerman and Al Pacino as Nazi hunters.
Amazon turned a block in the Highland Park area into 1970s New York, and rented out a theater where they screened the first episode, and a bowling alley across the street where they held the reception.
If you think I didn't decimate those Pop Rocks and Candy cigarettes you have another think coming
Now cinemas are outlining their rules of engagement. Limited capacity screenings with healthy distances between seats as to keep possible contamination at bay. I would be really put out but THE QUIET PLACE 2 has been postponed and that's really the only film I'm looking forward to this month, having already seen THE HUNT, BLOODSPOT, ONWARD, THE WAY BACK and EMMA (it was the premiere and Bill Nighy was onstage to introduce the film, but he cut out as soon as the lights went down but at least I was breathing the same air as Bill Nighy. Also, it was a weird mix of supporters, Danny Trejo, John C. Reilly dressed like Stan Laurel and Elijah Wood who rushed out with his very pregnant girlfriend. I thought they were rushing out to avoid the geeks who would try to stop Frodo, but turns out the next day they had their baby. Maybe his girlfriend was having contractions because he had his arm around her waist ushering her out quickstyle, but again, I thought it was to deter the nerds).
And thankfully I didn't put off going to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising for their Motion Picture costume exhibit as the museum has been shut down due to Contravirus.
