- Papers please -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:16 3
  - Knee jerk reaction was this. But it's not so different was immunization records which are needed for colleges, etc. -- nm - sycor Dec 3, 11:20
  - yeah, how soon before we start seeing 'No entry without a valid Covid card' signs? -- nm - decline Dec 3, 11:20 1
    - Yesterday. -- nm - Los Angeles Dec 3, 11:22
- my friend in FL says that you can buy fake negative COVID test results. I don't see how these cards would be any different. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 3, 11:13 6
  - I thing it’s meant more as a reminder to the individual as to which vaccine they received, so they don’t get it mixed up, and to make sure they get the second dose on time. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 3, 11:16 4
    - I mean, getting Covid at half strength probably is like the flu, right? -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 11:16
    - just text me. like I will not lose the paper. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 3, 11:16 2
      - That too. But multiple layers of reminders aren’t a bad thing. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 11:17 1
        
        if the paper is thick enough, ollie will eat it. so I will accept it for her. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 3, 11:20

  - and then you can charge entry to your kids and make money! -- nm - decline Dec 3, 11:12 1
    - If my kids are back in my house for more than holidays, it is going to be rent I'm charging :) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:13
  - Kids bedroom, silly. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 11:11 1
    - Probably not workable. We're likely to downsize to something with less bedrooms. Sadly the area we want to move into is a bit pricier than where - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:12
can someone please bring me a cup of coffee? -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 3, 11:09 2

- Queued, although that's really just another -ed. -- nm - mara Dec 3, 11:11 5
  - I counted it as distinct from the "ued" of "clued" so good on you. -- nm - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 3, 11:13 4
    - How many did we get now? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:15 3
      - and what's considered the end? after the last consonant? -- nm - Max Dec 3, 11:17 1
        
        That was probably how it was originally defined, so sure. -- nm - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 3, 11:21
      - We have two so far. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 11:16
- The rest are borrowed words from Iceland I'm guessing. -- nm - Max Dec 3, 11:11 2

    - "at least" -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 11:09 1
      - Yup, I saw this in a Games magazine decades ago but don't recall how many they claimed there were. 15 is all I could manage. -- nm - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 3, 11:11
- do you mean like -ewed as in hewed? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 3, 11:04 3

      - 1 for 2 and I am not asking my son because I can’t handle being dumber than that3rd grader. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 11:14
      - 0/2. -- nm - loosilu Dec 3, 11:13
      - 1/1. I accidentally cheated on the second one, so it shouldn't count. -- nm - David Dec 3, 11:06
      - 1/2 -- nm - Diva🎅🏾 Dec 3, 11:02
      - 1/2 -- nm - decline Dec 3, 10:58 1

Another week with nothing to talk about on the podcast. -- nm - Tim Dec 3, 10:40 4
- The other aspect is that I suspect they did this to get the jump on Disney. Investor Day is a week from today. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Dec 3, 10:49 3
  - Hey, any interest in talking to a writer/director of a feature that will be launching tomorrow on various streaming services in North America? - Andie Dec 3, 10:54 2

Warner Bros Sets Entire 2021 Movie Slate To Debut On HBO Max Along With Cinemas -- (link) - decline Dec 3, 10:35 39
- This is why Sony needs a streaming platform. Apparently, Sony's "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" is on the list. -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 11:14 1
  - Don't give them ideas. I'm not getting Cable v2 to be able to watch stuff. - sycor Dec 3, 11:20
- Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would see Movie Theaters go away. -- nm - Jovian Dec 3, 11:06
- tiered subscriptions are coming. bet. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 11:01 9
  - That and if WB pulls it off better than Disney, you can bet everyone else will follow suit. You will need every streaming service to watch the movies - sycor Dec 3, 11:05 1
    - yup. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 11:06
  - I'm still so spoiled by memory of the AMC all you can eat subscription. I am very against paying for these subscriptions just to watch these releases - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:03 6
    - To be fair, you're describing the same service, only in the comfort of your own home. -- nm - David Dec 3, 11:06 5
      - Except it isn't 1 service, it's a dozen. I certainly can't cover my bases for $20/mo... -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:10 4
        
        Exactly, every new release for $20. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 11:13 3
        
        Can't wait to pirate all the new movies day 1 at 4k quality. -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 11:15
        
        Technically $40 (I often overlook the fact we had 2 subscriptions) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 11:14 1
        
        I was solo, so $20. Which makes this thing twice as bad for me!!! -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 11:15
- AMC stock diving. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 10:58
- As a result theater companies are debating on if they will show WB movies. I know there is question at mine about whether we will show Wonder Woman -- nm - sycor Dec 3, 10:56 10
  - They can debate all they want, they won't exist after this. It's absolutely gutting. -- nm - MDH Dec 3, 10:59 1
    - Maybe, maybe not. It all depends. So far, we have been doing okay business with the private showings. I think theaters will have to morph. -- (edited) - sycor Dec 3, 11:02
  - Isn't that cutting off your nose to spite your face? -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 10:59 1
    - In a way yes, definitely. And to be clear, it's not a my location idea, it's a corporate idea. -- nm - sycor Dec 3, 11:01
  - And show what instead? - Yuletide Callisto 🎄🎄 Dec 3, 10:59 5
    - No clue. I know it would be shooting themselves in the foot, but at the same time, WB and other studios trying to do this - sycor Dec 3, 11:00 3
      - It's the same reason as concerts vs. albums. People want activities outside the home. 2020 has damaged movie theaters permanently... - David Dec 3, 11:10 2
        
        I dunno, if every studio did this, why would people go to the theater? I'd much rather watch at home. - sycor Dec 3, 11:14
        
        It's clearly time to totally revolutionize the drive-in movie experience. -- nm - mara Dec 3, 11:12
    - The War With Grandpa! -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 10:59
- For as much crap as I've given the 1 off decisions...HBO Max just became a huge player. That said, I'm sad as this means movie theaters are dead -- nm - MDH Dec 3, 10:53 2
  - They were always a player. They just fumbled their app, marketing and message so much that people forgot about all the content they have. -- nm* - Inigo Dec 3, 10:58 1
    - Right. Any competence whatsoever would have made them a day one triumph. -- nm - David Dec 3, 11:08
- does this advance at all the likelihood of a Roku app? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 3, 10:42 6
  - Roku might bend a little, but the fact that we can Airplay HBO Max from Apple devices to the Roku gives Roku some leverage. -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 10:48 4
    - dear windows and android users: get bent -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 3, 10:57 2
      - Roku supports Chromecast so, in theory, you can do this with Android too. -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 11:01
      - I'll go to my grave badmouthing Apple -- nm - prayformojo Dec 3, 11:00
    - Only on certain devices. None of mine have that capability. -- nm - spamlet Dec 3, 10:57
  - I'm inclined to say yes, but WB's been insanely stubborn thus far. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Dec 3, 10:48
- The fact that the movie will only go to HBO Max for one month before getting yanked is significant and as likely to goose those subscriber numbers. - Mop Dec 3, 10:40 1
  - my first thought was 'dammit now I'll need to get the app' -- nm - decline Dec 3, 10:44
- Movies: The Little Things, Judas and the Black Messiah, Tom & Jerry, Godzilla vs. Kong, Mortal Kombat, Those Who Wish Me Dead, -- (edited) - decline Dec 3, 10:37 1
  - even before I saw Hamilton I was really excited to see In the Heights -- nm - prayformojo Dec 3, 10:39
Warner Bros. flicks in 2021 are going to HBO Max day 1. -- (link) - Shaun Dec 3, 10:35 7

  - Just when I thought I was out! -- nm - Bob Iger Dec 3, 10:41
  - "Those Hams were railing on us hard. We had to do something" -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 3, 10:40
- Pay attention people, this is huge. Vaccine or not... we're talking Matrix 4, Godzilla vs. Kong... even the new Space Jam movie!!! -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 10:37 1
  - That assumes that WB sticks to the currently announced 2021 release schedule -- nm - JD Dec 3, 10:49
- Whoa. -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 10:36
- dammit -- nm - decline Dec 3, 10:35
Because if you make a trampoline that can handle more than 200 lbs, it's technically artillery. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 10:34 1

- What's the word that means "bitchin' but very sad"? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 3, 10:38 2
  - "Fuuuuuuuuuck." -- nm - mara Dec 3, 10:42 1
    - that's it! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 3, 10:44
- Oh look, Sean Bean. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 10:35
