How I feel about this latest affront to liberty? Went out to the water this past weekend. It was the healthiest thing I did for myself in weeks. Think fresh air and UV. Met with my ohana and broke bread. Even hugged some of my relatives. Use common sense but living in fear is not living at all.

Yeah, I was a little worried when they were claiming it had a 3.4% lethality rate and of course Italy with their 10%. Just to find out 80% or so are not even being tested because they have mild to no symptoms. 60% of the crew on that navy ship that tested positive were asymptomatic and only a couple people actually needed medical help.

Just how long before the government admits they fucked up and admits it's really only dangerous if you're over 60 or have underlying health conditions? From the sounds of it I probably already had it. Some bullshit too, still haven't received a dime from unemployment, thankfully I have plenty of weed.

Just some bullshit, we destroyed our economy over something slightly worse than a flu and some are claiming they want to wait for a vaccine before going back to work. LMAO, this nanny state shit is getting old, drug laws were bad enough, now I can't even work? Lol

But what can you do? People are too wrapped up in the medias fear, I keep seeing people on local Facebook groups bitching up a storm about people not social distancing. Definitely more pro authoritarians around here, at least on Facebook.

Aloha Braddahs!

Bullshit for sure mixed with lots of intrigue and gobbledygook juiced to the highest amplitude of confusion.
Don't know 'bout you brah but I'm not getting vaccinated or microchipped.
Meanwhile, with newfound time, perhaps an opportunity to think outside of the box. Came across in my readings:

But back to topic -> What, no germ movies?

The Masque of the Red Death

Panic in the Streets

The Andromeda Strain

Yeah, definitely no vaccine or microchip for me, I'm actually a little worried they won't let my kid go back to school without the vaccine. I'll take my 99.9% chance of surviving with the bad cold of 2020. Lol, they blast it on the media everytime someone younger dies and still only a handful of people under 60.

But for movies

Scarface

Jurassic Park

Braveheart

Godfather

For plauge movies,

Planet Of The Apes

12 Monkey's

The Stand
 
What about HEAT? Pacino n DeNiro
Seven Samurai or even the original Magnificent Seven
City of God - Brasilian Gangsters
Kill Bill pt2
Raising Arizona
Royal Tennenbaums
Remember Time Bandits? I want to see that one again
The Mandolorian is an awesome series. Some story line is taken from seven samurai.

I can't think of a good plague movie, but the first season of Last Man on Earth is worth watching

Ah ha! I had forgotten about Raising Arizona. Great cult film. Nick Cage at his best. Also The Rocky Horror Picture Show comes to mind. Bring a bag of rice to throw at the screen and do the Time Warp again! Yes, I am dating myself here. Jabberwocky was another good one that came out two years after that. We used to see those films at the Dream Theater in Monterey. They had luxury couch and lounge chair seating and bean bag chairs on the floor. Remember bean bag chairs?

As for the Mandalorian, that is now a family cult series that we have watched 3 times on the Disney Channel. He is my new avatar here, and Baby Yoda RULZ! I have the hots for the lady Mandalorian armorer who forges Beskar Steel. This is the way... baby. Season II is in the can and due to be released in October.

Funny you talk about the Rocky..... Saw it in Paris where there's a théâtre playing it 2 times a week since the 70's....allways a lot of fun in the room with disguised ppl throwing rice, water.....the movie room is RUINED... you also have to arrive 2 hours before the beginning to get a chance to come in.....but honestly the movie isn't that good.... It's the only one Suzanne Sarandon doesn't assume (it doesn't appear on her official filmographia).

More ressently I really liked "district 9"

Ah yes, District 9 is good. Bat shit crazy, but good. The film crew was working on a film adaptation of Halo, but that was cancelled due to loss of financing. In an odd twist the director had the D9 script, sets and props for the Halo film and the film crew on site, so they decided to shoot D9 on the fly as a docudrama in Soweto. It worked. Supposed to be a sequel in the works now.
