Hell yeah. If you're any sort of fan of drive-in cinema it's essential viewing.

Looks like Amazon gave me 2 free rentals and now everything is like $0.01 off. Probably would've picked a different second movie if I'd known that.

I hope so. Pennsylvania has a TON of drive-ins, but they're considered non-essential so they haven't been allowed to open yet.

There’s a bit of a problem with drive-ins taking up the slack if they don’t have new releases to show.

What's weird is that the regulations on essential businesses don't really take into account how much risk any given activity will put you in. There's a lot of activities that are way less essential than picking up groceries but can be done with social distancing and/or no human contact at all, drive-in theatres being one example.

Eventually we'll have to get to a "new normal" where we can do activities that aren't strictly necessary but also don't involve any person-to-person interaction or possibility to transmit disease. Doing most things other than going to a retail establishment, I'm at greatest risk and I am the biggest risk to others if I'm an asymptomatic carrier being in the elevator of my building to leave and come back to my apartment.

Amazon has been giving away $3 digital credits for choosing "no rush shipping" and those deductions are shown on the item page.

Check your email to see if you got some kind of credit lately.

I watched Gator on Hulu because it’s been referenced a ton on Archer. It’s alright, but it’s probably half an hour too long and you can definitely tell Burt Reynolds had never directed before.

Also there are approximately 0 actual gators in that movie.

White Lightning and Sharky's Machine are the superior Burt Reynolds movies. The former is Gator's first movie.

The early reviews I've seen are positive. I'm a big fan of Simon Stahlenhag so I'm a bit hesitant to start it. I'm afraid it will change how I view his art.

It's gorgeous and the imagery is straight out of the pictures. It's also very slow-paced and calm, not frenetic like Stranger Things.

I finished Fargo season 3 and loved it. I wasn’t sure after the first episode but this series has a momentum as the episodes go on and as the farce gets deeper it’s so fun to watch everything unfold. Carrie Coons, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ewan McGregor all killed it.

I liked it the least of the three, the two brothers plot just kinda peters out which was disappointing because MacGregor's performance was great.

I haven’t seen the first two since they aired but I feel like 3 is better than 1 and equal to 2 but I remember really liking 2 even though I am struggling to remember anything from it aside from the UFO

They are working on a 4th season, it looks like it might be a prequel to the 2nd. It's got Chris Rock and Timothy Olyphant in it.

I still have to watch s3 but i preferred s2 to s1 because im not a billy bob thornton fan and him just being an unstoppable maybe-devil force wasnt too...interesting to me. Like at the point he's walking into buildings and OWNING EVERYOOONE it just felt too cartoonish.
Still decent though since I did appreciate Martin Freeman and everyone else in the cast.

Drinksalot was correct above. It looks like it was scheduled to start April 19th but has been put on hold due to production being shut down.

petering out is not really how I'd describe that plot...

it may be recency bias because i just finished it last week, but i thought s3 might've been the best season.
