I watched House of 1000 Corpses last night and seeing Sig Haig hit me hard. Both he and Bill Moseley killed it and it's so sad knowing that horror lost such a badass icon.

The horror and just overall selection on Netflix has been shitty so I'm thinking about getting another streaming service.

Check out Tubi. It's free with ads. Right now they have newer stuff like Teeth, Beyond the Black Rainbow, The Wailing, The Descent, Last Shift, The Void, Housebound, Goodnight Mommy, etc. They also have a lot of horror classics and fun b-movies like the original Suspiria, Cube, Children of the Corn, Hellraiser, the Re-Animator, Sleepaway Camp, the Stuff, and the Stepford Wives.

I’ve been thinking about getting Shudder for a while. I know they have a month long free trial.

I recently watched As it is in Heaven and Dirty God and I guess I'm missing indie theaters more than blockbuster nonsense.

I still want to see tenet but I'm not going to a theatre

you know it's really surreal seeing these box office numbers. I won't be seeing a movie in theatres for at least another 6 months or another year, however long a vaccine takes. but now I'm thinking about all those summer blockbuster weekends and maybe now those will be oddities to look at for a while, like we won't hit those highs again for a long time.

Yeah, I’m really curious about all the 200+ million dollar budget movies studios had planned for the near future, and how feasible they are now. I’m of 2 minds when it comes to how people will act once we have a vaccine and theaters are back to “normal” - on one hand, I think a lot of us will be so desperate to regain a sense of normalcy that attendance could even get a boost, but on the other hand, I can also see part of the public that was already pretty casual about cinemas just not caring to go anymore.

Plus, who knows how many screens will actually be left after all this? I truly don’t see a lot of places, including some big chains, surviving without assistance until spring.

the current dynamic where studios won't release big films to theaters now because they'd make more money in theaters in a year...but because studios won't release movies now there will likely be far fewer theaters in a year, thus capping future grosses, seems extremely lose-lose for everyone who isn't netflix.

[lollapoe]

It really is a losing game. But I don’t know, even if studios did release more stuff now, it just doesn’t seem like enough people would (or even could, since theaters are still not allowed to sell seats to full capacity) go to them in order to keep the places afloat, you know? Specially without a vaccine, in places where the disease is still rampant and mismanaged, like the US and my own country. So even if studios still made enough mid budget fare that wouldn’t suffer so much from reduced box office numbers (or were willing to take more losses with their blockbusters), I don’t know how long most places would be able to operate like this, my guess is certainly not as long as it would take for the country to get this relatively under control.

Lmao tenet needs another 100 million to even break even good luck with that
