Hope you are well and safe. I just want to send my support and respect for what you're doing and wish you all the best. Also... due to the 4th of May day, I've been watching the sequel trilogy again(I don't know why tbh) and the season finale of the Clone Wars.

Martin Scorsese Goes Over Budget Again and The Greatest Opening Movie Scenes Ever

Let us know at ThisTimeWith.com/talk EPISODE #53: Martin Scorsese Goes Over Budget Again and The Greatest Opening Movie Scenes Ever - April 12, 2020 MAILBAGNate says, Two shows to watch Gendy Tartikovsky’s Primal (No dialogue Samurai Jack style) animated series! 8 episodes! Violent! Beautiful! Incredible! And Kidding! Starting Jim Carrey as a Mr. Rogers type character! If you want a really good cry this show has so much heart and holds no punches when dealing with themes of broken relationships, understanding your feelings, and of course unstable aggression. Give this series a chance and you will be pleasantly surprised as you cry your eyeballs out! Also will I return to theatres after all this is over? Probably if I can sit six feet away from people! Haha but for real I really think it will take a proven vaccine for people to be comfortable in that situation again and unfortunately we just don’t know how long that will be. For now I’m ok with the at home release approach but there are some movies that just need to be seen on an IMAX screen like Top Gun and Tennet!
