@Mr_Beach has been repeatedly saying this for weeks on here.
I'm basically with you here 100%. I don't mind handshake culture though; I'm a touchy person despite being quite introverted. Quarantine was pretty blissful!
I'm into fewer work meetings generally, not just a move to more online work meetings. As I've said before, many restaurants near me have adapted their street parking into street patios and I hope that stays. My girlfriend and I both agree that masks on airplanes / travel isn't such a bad idea at all. People have learned to wash their hands and use sanitizer (despite it's general ineffectiveness I think it still helps a bit) which is great.
I agree the normal we had before wasn't all that perfect. I think "normal" to a lot of people is the return of socializing and community in person, and restaurants and bars, and things like that. I believe for better or worse we will return to these things before too long (many already are); we're a social species and we can only keep from doing these things for so long I think.
My girlfriend and myself have our summer wedding to look forward to. We will definitely continue to put every effort into keeping ourselves and each other safe.
And yes, NTTD is on my mind too. I regard it as a coming reward for us all doing what we can in this pandemic to be a part of the solution rather than the problem. I hope that when I'm in the theatre to see the next Bond, I'll be able to whisper that life is good, that all is well, that society has gotten it back together.
But I am patient. I want to see NTTD but only when the time is right. I want to enjoy my Bond film and its success. I don't want to see it thrown onto some streaming service like something made for television. I want my food cooked to perfection, not raw and cold. Bond deserves the VIP treatment, and that means a theatrical release with all the glamour and glitter that comes with it. I don't want the film to suffer from a worldwide crisis, I want it to help usher in an era of renewed possibilities. But that's just me.
Since a while ago when the norovirus seemed to start kicking in every year I pretty much always tried to wear gloves when I had to hang onto the grips on the Tube etc. or try to use my elbows instead! So yes, I’m with you there.
There are many parts of the world where mask wearing in particular has been normalised already due to poor air quality. One would hope that this pandemic would lead to awareness of greater issues considering how resistant a decent chunk of the population have been to things like mask wearing, but it likely won't.
Once this is all over I won't be wearing a face mask.
I wasn't suggesting that you do. But it has exposed, for me, that there are a lot of people out there ignorant of the fact that these things aren't abnormal for decent chunks of the population on the planet, while they moan about having to do it to prevent something that is highly infectious.
I think it already is a long shot.
I can see it now, as soon as the government lifts restrictions everybody will be thinking about holiday plans on day one. The amount of people hitting the seaside areas at the end of last summer was unheard of, it will be like that again, except for the whole summer this time, not just August. The vaccinations won't be ready by June, and numbers will start to rise again. By september we'll be hitting critical mass again.
All the people shut in their houses are desperate to get out and enjoy themselves again, so we are likely to see a repeat of last year, and the movie being pushed into 2022 so they can get things back under control again.
Like with SF and SP the UK release date will get pulled forward to the 6th, in not the 5th, aswell.
The last Bond movies were not released on a friday in the UK.
Spectre was released at 7pm on a Monday, as I recall. Gotta fluff those box office figures some how 😂
Same, and as someone who loves traveling i can't wait but it's looks like a long way to go.
Congratulations are in order.
All we can do at this point is wait and see how the vaccine gets rolled out. I remain confident that we will be in good shape by the end of August. My only concern is the two new strains. But here is some good news: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/01/25/960341384/moderna-finds-covid-19-vaccine-less-effective-against-variant-found-in-south-afr
Thank you, @TripAces. :)
The article is good news too.
Yes it went on general release on the same evening as the premiere in the UK. I remember watching some of the premiere red carpet on YouTube before heading out to the cinema.
I am not particularly looking forward to it, since I believe there's still a very good chance of it getting pushed back further. I don't see much point in getting excited just yet. It's not like they went out and said it's coming out in October one way or another, be it in theaters or streaming, whatever is possible in each region when the time comes.
Screengrabs from some stock images site, although we have seen a few of them before.

But also, you can't go out so you don't get to wear it! :)
Only joshing, I got a nice new jacket a couple of months ago too :)

Seems like they're guessing a bit, but they may have a point. I can only see it applying to the Nokia though, I don't think there are any other products as time sensitive as phones, and I expect they can replace them digitally and paste in any new close-ups required.
I don't know much about phone models but I guess the Nokia model in the film might be replaced by the time it comes out? I don't know really. They seem to be replaced pretty much annually, don't they?
There's nothing else which would seem to be out of date when the film is released (in terms of cars only the Land Rover was a new model and that's still going to be quite a new model when it comes out, the Aston prototype still hasn't even been built yet; and the Omega watch will be on sale for a while, and they even re-released the Swatch watch )- the only other thing is some trainers I think in there (Adidas?) which the shoe company appeared to have paid for a licence for.
The main incentive I think is that the phone company promotes the film in its own marketing when it is released.
No idea if they have a contract which covers the current circumstances though, it would seem like their lawyers really did think of everything if it did, or they renegotiated with the film company.
Thanks. It has now arrived. Early impressions are very positive, it is a very nice jacket.
Great! It's a very nice looking thing. Is it as stiff as they say when it's new? I think I've seen pictures of some of them standing up on their own! :)
I think they loosen up quite quickly though.
