It would be amazing to see next year's awards being dominated by streaming service exclusives.

What's really going to be interesting is the fallout from essentially an entire year without any production. 2021 will have everything that's been pushed back, and a few things that were halted in various states of production, but 2022 is going to be barren.

The various industry groups should just buy an island that would be entirely dedicated to film/television production where everyone coming in is subject to testing for the virus. Everything produced on the island would be 60's to 80's BBC quality but it would be fine.

gently caress, the last movie I saw in a theatre was goddamn Birds of Prey.


People here kept posting it was good.
I mean, it was fun? It was cute? I don't know much about the production aspect but I got the feeling while watching it that it was originally supposed to be more over-the-top violent (like the scene where Harley shoots a bunch of cops) but they toned it down somewhere along the line because they thought that would make it more appealing to a young, female audience.

I'm also old enough that I saw the original Planet of the Apes series on their initial run as well as a poo poo ton of other movies at the drive-in back in the 60s and 70s because we didn't have an enclosed theater near my house.
The first movie I ever saw was at a drive-in. My dad took me to see the 1984 re-release of the 1967 The Jungle Book.

edit: there was one near my college where I once saw a double-feature of U-571 (which I remember absolutely nothing about) and The Skulls (which was more fun and I should watch again).

They just have to be aired for a week in NY or LA before Dec 15th, right? I'm sure more Hollywood people than just Tarantino own theaters and if they don't I'm sure some producer will buy a megaplex and fill it with his companies movies for a week or two, do a bunch of 'private screenings' .

The last movie I saw at a drive-in was Wizard of Oz.

I saw it in October.

I think they can't be private screenings. People have to be able to buy tickets and go see the movie.

But there will definitely be movies playing to empty theaters specifically for award contention come december.

I really don't think it was toned down, I mean because one, that scene the highlight of the film as is, and two, it's still full of poo poo like Harley jumping on that guys legs in the club. :gonk:

But yeah, BoP was the last film I saw in theaters, and I'm fine with that.

Almost identical circumstances, but a non-IMAX in Brooklyn.

Was really eerie being in an empty theatre on a Pixar movie’s opening day.
