  1. I didn’t really know which streaming thread this belonged therefore I figured a new topic may be best. WRT Covid and the shutdown, has there been any talk yet among the major movie studios about shifting some of their blockbuster spring and summer releases on to streaming platforms? The latest streaming numbers show demand for movies is at the highest it’s ever been, yet there is no current way to meet that need outside of streaming. Additionally, if things do ease up in the coming months the movie business may very well continue its downward trend anyway. I can’t foresee a scenario where Americans -who will have been locked up inside their homes for months- will be running outside just to then go sit inside again at a theater for three hours. I don’t know the economics of the business but I think most would happily pay $15-20 to watch a movie like ‘A Quiet Place 2’ at home right. Seems like that’s easily more than they’d garner at the theaters and your potential customer base is arguably higher than it will ever be again. Why not bite the bullet and capitalize?
  2. I’ve had a major craving for some TurfNSurf the past two days. I just checked online to see what their limited menu looked like and I see they are now closed. Damn. The owner’s IG comments looked pretty ominous too.
  3. What site do you use for the daily counts? I have found KVUE in KXAN to be too unreliable.
  4. Yesterday was awful.
  5. What really confuses me is places like Pinthouse closing? That one stings. Most the pizza guys I’ve talked to are actually doing fairly well relatively speaking. Couple that with their beer business and they seemed like they would have been better positioned than most to sustain in this environment. One day before they closed all their locations the line at their Burnet location was wrapped around the building and on to Burnet. The only thing I could think of the only thing I could think of (and this is 100% speculation) is perhaps one of their employees came down sick?
  6. Your absolute position is silly.
  7. Interdasting. I’m be curious as to some of the others? I can’t think of many which have blown through the 10k, 20k and soon-to-be 25k replies as quickly as this one.
  8. @blacklab I would be curious how the traffic on this thread compares to others over the years and at the TOS? Aside from perhaps a few game threads, sur(e)ly (heh) this thread it’s up near the top all time right?
  9. Back of my throat was on fire the moment I woke up. Thought I was getting sick. So glad (kinda, but not really) to see this thread bumped.
  10. Pinthouse has now officially closed until this is over.
  11. Is there a group of people, aside from perhaps the homeless, whom Adler HASN’T yet alienated? Even all of his RE buddies have cast him aside.
  12. Austinites- is Town Lake Trail now closed as of noon or is it still open?
  13. With the WashPost story last night, if Faucci isn’t at this press conference for a second day on a row, I’ll be officially worried Trump is distancing him from the administration.
  14. I usually finish mine within an hour so it typically doesn’t matter but how long do the canned crowlers last?
  15. Joel is about as good as a guy in the business as you’ll ever find. I hope he’s back up and running soon Does anyone know the exact specifics on the mixed beverage pick up? Some Mexican restaurants are selling frozen margaritas outright while others are saying they can only sell you the prep. There appears to be no uniformity at all.
  16. I’m torn. I’m scared shitless at the thought Trump, despite near unanimous advice from the entire medical community worldwide, is going to attempt and force his will on the American people and send people back to work in a last ditch attempt to prop up his precious economy. But at the same time, this country is going to look so drastically different in 7-10 days time I find it will be hard for even him to overcome such a thing.
  17. Why in the world does our governor need the Sergeant at Arms and Capitol Police standing directly behind him during a press conference with no one in attendance?
  18. I’ve been inside Terra multiple times this week to let the little one pick out something to pass the time. Love that store but sadly I can’t see them staying open through this mess. Every time except one, I’ve been the only one in there.
  19. L.D. was kinda shocking. A couple of the pizza restaurants I’ve talked to have said they’re doing quite well. Figured they would have been doing okay. IMO, still the best pizza in town.
  20. Over/under minutes before she starts talking about millennials?
  21. https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-waives-certain-regulations-to-allow-delivery-of-alcohol-from-restaurants-and-to-support-hospitality-industry
  22. Does Dr. Birx have a daily quota of the number of time she has to say ”millennial” during her press conferences?
  23. Trump hasn’t conducted a single press conference in the last two weeks where he hasn’t repeatedly mentioned the China travel he fell ass backward into. I suppose it’s because it’s the only thing he’s done correctly since this whole thing started.
