Yeah, we opened again at the end of August, then closed again at the start of Nov for UK lockdown 2, and are opening again tomorrow. It’s been quiet but (in my branch) steady enough to keep us open 7 days a week).

What's it like to live in a place with restrictions? They are trying to do a lockdown here and several restaurants just refused to close. The city revoked all of their licenses but they are still staying open and serving anyways. Assholes from out-of-state are coming in to "support" them, as if their ratlicking wasn't bad enough already...

Masks on for customers at all times unless someone is eating or drinking, but we can’t enforce this as much as I would like  Lockdown in general is fine. Most everywhere abides by it. I just stay at home and watch stuff like usual and get my shopping delivered. It was easier at the beginning before I got bored of Animal Crossing

Superstore is ending with season 6. I’ll be sad to see it go, although I think it’s a good end point.

Movies theaters are dying, malls are dying, skating rinks are dying. Where am I going to give that special someone my varsity jacket and ask her to go steady? At some new fangled hipster axe throwing range?

It's more like that dating app episode of Rick & Morty where you just rage-bang until you get a notification that someone more attractive wants to rage-bang and thus the wheel of time spins on.

Its sucks when your main actress leaves at the start of the last season, makes the entire thing a bit of a damp squib.

It sounds like most of the problems you people have are with other people and not cinemas themselves I love going to the cinema in my area (Newcastle, Australia) the tickets are priced cheap and everybody knows how to not be a dick

I love going to a good theater too but it's an outdated and asinine model to have that be the only way to see a new movie. Especially for people with legitimate conditions that prevent them from enjoying theaters, or prevent them from even being able to use them

After actually finishing The Good Lord Bird... I really enjoyed that, but it was a really uneven series. It's carried by the terrific acting and production design, but the writing is a bit all over the place. It felt like every other episode was really solid, and then the next would be clunky. But to really work, the penultimate episode needed to be the high of the series but it ended up being the low. The whole series hinged on it, but it was a really shoddy episode from a writing, directing, and editing standpoint. Overall it leaned too heavily on its invented character and it compressed history too much, sanding off some of the more interesting edges. And I was really excited for Daveed Diggs as Douglass but he ended up feeling like a bit of a weak point with a more cartoony performance than everyone around him. All that being said, when it's fun, it's fun. It's way more of a chill hangout series than I was expecting and I really liked the tone for most of it. I'd highly recommend it as long as you're okay with a show being a bit wonky, especially since it's only 7 episodes.

The Good Lord Bird as a whole didn't quite live up to the madness of the first episode, but overall I really enjoyed it.

Robert Fett is featured heavily in the new Mando, and he’s got his armor back. Wrecking fools like no big deal.

We Are Who We Are episode 4 might be my favorite episode of TV in 2020. It was so chaotic, raw, and real in a way that it reminded me some of the movie Kids. There are a couple of perfectly shot scenes that just stick with you (the renaissance like slow mo shot of the post paintball fight and especially the crazy dance orgy at the Russian’s house). It works so well that the episode itself would make a great movie if it was 30 minutes longer. Oasx posted:The Good Lord Bird as a whole didn't quite live up to the madness of the first episode, but overall I really enjoyed it. That first episode felt like it was directed by Quentin Tarantino in the way it was able to walk that line with its tone on a serious subject. It was what that Amazon Prime Nazi hunter show tried to do, but failed at.

It was so pulpy to start (secret Nazi southern politician!, ninja nun!, a character named Bootyhole!) then got more and more morose on the horrors of the Holocaust, but then there's a big whacky gunfight at the end and boom Hitler clone. It was extremely confusing working on it and wondering which kind of show I would be working on that day.

Man, that pot-inspired dance sequence to Still Alive, which gets crashed by concentration camp survivors? What the gently caress did they think they were making? There's tonal confusion and then there's whatever the gently caress that was.

The fun parts of that premise sound great, but it sounds like they did the worst the could with it. I would love a 60s era nazi hunting A-team type show.

It had seriously strange tone issues, veering between dead serious holocaust stories and poorly done inglorious basterds style action-comedy, and not just at the end, all over. really god damned strange, and not the good kind of strange, strange from a "why would they direct/write it like that" perspective
