You don’t need an Apple TV to stream those devices to a tv; it just makes it slightly simpler.
Also it doesn’t affect me whatsoever how another person enjoys a film.
I understand the “future of the franchise” is at stake here or whatever, but the exhibition landscape is changing regardless of when coronavirus lets up, and productions are going to have to adapt either way.
As I saw in your comments on twitter, this might a Barbara sending a message that would also line up with what MI6 people were saying on James Bond and Friends quite a few times that this movie will never go to streaming. Seeing them now also take this story seriously leads me to believe that there is more to this story then what EON wants it to be. I kind of expected it but still am quite disappointing- I geniuenly believe that it would be the best for the franchise to move on from this film and start planning for the future instead of endlessly waiting for an opportunity that may not come for years

What a line up of films that is!
And almost all of them wrapped filming before NTTD. People are waiting for most of those movies already longer than for Bond.
interesting and important timing thing - the Apple/streaming offload was explored *before* the April 2021 delay. If we're getting these postmortems on the idea....we're gonna have to wait however long it takes. maybe that's the discrepancy between the trades' story on this (global deal) and what MI6-HQ is insisting is going on (just North America being on the table). The former was explored before the latest delay, and the latter is being explored as we speak?
Agree with most of this.Dont think theatres are finished though.They will still be around in some capacity.
When is Red Dead Redemption 3 being released ???? :)>-
It's going to be from next Monday (2nd).
But it doesn't make any sense to close theatres, but keep factories, working spaces, schools etc. open - those are the places where most infections came from over the last couple of weeks, added to those infections that came from illegal parties, senior homes etc.
Parties, weddings, funerals are superspreader events. Schools, maybe not:

Yes. That's correct.
But even with very little cases in schools, they have more cases than concert halls, opera houses, theatres and cinemas combined.
Here in Hamburg the police detects illegal parties every weekend, mostly in some shady cellar night clubs or hidden rooms behind iron doors. It's like 90 years ago during the prohibition in the US. People hide to do a lot of illegal things. And the more things get forbidden, the more illegal stuff happens.
"but... the arts!!!"
In fairness I am a designer, and value the arts above many things, but during a pandemic there are priorities 👍🏻
Does the virus make a difference between important and not important?
And yes. Of course schools are important.
But as there are no known infections at theatre, there is no use to shut them down.
And to this:
for me the arts are my religion.
I don't care about churches and that sort of thing.
But some people seem to decide, that a church service is more important than a theatre performance.
Tell me: where is the difference for the virus?
Some kind of stage in front and people sitting there in rows.
And believe me: there is more talking and maybe even singing (by the audience) during a church service, than during a theatre or cinema visit.
I agree with everything except the bold. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean the science doesn't show it's very likely to happen under these conditions. Shutting them down preemptively is smart.
People need to be proactive rather than reactive. Should we wait until someone dies after catching it at a theatre?
Over the last months people got infected in factories, in church services and died - but those places stay open.
It's not just about shutting down theatres. My point is about keeping almost everything else open - while we have lots of known infections at those places.
I would have no problem with a complete shutdown.
But just a shutdown of the cultural sites will not bring down the numbers.
I think you've missed the point. Im saying humans have to decide what to prioritise. Theres re risks associated with schools and theatre. We can agree on that. The mental health, emotional health, social, artistic and academic development of an entire generation of millions upon millions of children all around the globe should take priority over a few people enjoying Madame Butterfly.
I think any shutdowns should be based solely on protecting everyone from risk, not a specific group (children, operagoers, diners, vacationers).
But I also think people should get a tax credit for *not* having children. Too much overpopulation as it is.
Personally - I no longer think that's viable. I think now we behave sensibly, minimising risks so we can continue to function with a trade off of maximum benefit with as few deaths as possible.
Kids generally don't die of it. If they follow the guidelines in schools, they can largely keep the spread under control.
The benefits of children returning to school are not just educational. Their emotional and social development can be hindered staying at home. They need to be with their peers so they can better learn how to be successful humans / life skills / diplomacy / sharing / persuasion / leadership / collaboration etc etc. Not to mention their academic attainment and the atmosphere at home being home education.
Parents can also work.
