Glad to hear it, Tranny. In our area, movie theaters began opening back up in June of last year... We have been going, on average, three to four times a month, usually for kid-friendly re-releases. (I have snuck off a few times to see more adult-friendly fare, such as the grinding, excellent "Let Him Go", "Tesla" (a VERY strange but also oddly compelling film), and "Nomadland" (which I predicted would win Best Picture, after seeing it). Fortunately, we all stayed COVID-free; my "prepper" habits carried us through the bad days in March and April of last year well, and only a month ago, we finally used the last of the cheap toilet paper I had stacked in our storage locker.
Moviegoing, the film and television industries, and the production of scripted entertainments, like everything else, will and has changed -- it has been helpful for me to recall that it was the LAST major pandemic, in 1917-18, that more or less created the "modern" Hollywood studio system, and evolved the public experience of this art form from nickelodeons to exhibitor chains -- but I remain convinced that the theatrical experience WILL endure, though I think we've now passed "peak filmgoing". An age of innovation is about to dawn, I believe, which will be exciting, and may well move the industry forward in a way we haven't really seen since the mid-1970s (perhaps longer).
Anyway, it's good to be able to share these observations, ruminations, and predictions with people, especially, Fantaversians.

I remain, as always.
