Over 65 - pubs, restaurants etc. They really need to order the closure of everything not selling essentials. What we need is a bit of common sense. Minimise social contact, more so the age groups that are most vulnerable. My sister, who is in her early 70s, called my missus earlier to arrange to go for a coffee on Friday, something they do regularly. She was miffed when my missus said know and further miffed when she explained why. Despite her age my sister still works part-time as a cleaner at Ninewells, I’m astounded that she has not been told to stay away and would probably be pissed off if she was. She’s probably more chance of coming into contact with an infected person than most of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I watched Passengers last week and it's even bleaker than what we're facing right now. Guy in suspended animation on a ship in space wakes up by accident. Spends a year alone and decides to wake up Jennifer Lawrence because he's lonely. She forgives him because he's attractive and because he saves them. It made me very uncomfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've watched it a couple of times. One of those that leaves you feeling genuinely low afterwards. Brilliantly made though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Mile is the one that while a great movie, gives me the shivers. The bit where that evil cnut deliberately doesn’t wet the sponge before the electrocution..... I’ve just got goosebumps thinking about it. Gives me the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the shops every few weeks to stock up and when I'm bored go out for a drive. I talked the threat down to my 19 year old Son but this looks like a potential shit storm approaching. I need to be sensible with my heart and breathing problems. If I get the virus there's a fair chance I'm fecked. ( stop cheering folks you demean yourselfs ) Nothing to stop you going out, it's just about avoiding places with a load of people about, or getting too close to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad let me stay up to watch it and I was too scared to go to bed afterwards. As far as post apocalyptic films go Steel Dawn starting Patrick Swayze is a guilty pleasure, as are The Ultimate Warrior, starring Yul Brynner and Damnation Alley, starring George Peppard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My team are describing scenes that are ridiculous but are obviously true. f**k every single mentalist that exists out there, we are easily capable of keeping Supply Chains running. The amount of people who will lose their jobs should shame you but no doubt you will be, "mate I've still got bog roll" despicable p***ks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have really explored that but then they turned it into a big standard action movie halfway through. I did see a suggestion online it would be a better film from her perspective. It starts with her waking up and she falls in love with him, then gradually finds out what happens as his story starts falling apart. Could have been much more tense and atmospheric than him going into space and getting blasted with the exhaust to save them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
