I’ve watched it twice, but I’m still going to see it on the big screen; it’s that sort of film.

I am not spending three hours trapped in a room with 200 mask-refuseniks when the current prevalence rate is around 1 in 50. I’m not taking any unnecessary risks - I’ve got a kid to look after.

But this is definitely cinema spectacle stuff. I'm hedging my bets that they'll do a back to back screening once the second part finally gets released. Hopefully by then things are a little less manky.

There's usually about 10 people when I see a film there

Friday for The Seven Samurai, which I don't think I've ever seen on the big screen;
Saturday for this interesting-sounding one.
There will be way less than 200 people at the screenings, but it'll be "cosy"...
I noticed earlier that the same place (in Manchester) is showing an old-school B3tard's sophomore directorial feature with a post-screening Q&A including the director on Saturday.
They're also screening Dune, but I have little-to-no interest in seeing that...

really requires that context, scale, and sound system

so we vaccinate, wear masks in public, and learn to live with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still be wearing one in enclosed public spaces. But my issues with these 'mask exempt' cunts and worse, the chinmaskers and fuckwits that take their masks off as soon as they're seated are only getting more severe as the pandemic wears on.
I struggle to take a 10 minute trip to the supermarket without descending into an internal rage about how fucking self-centered and pathetic the general public can be. There's no way on earth I'd be able to sit through (never mind enjoy) a screening feeling like that.
Once mask wearing is no longer compulsory, (I hope) I won't react so aggressively to those soft cunts that can't bear the anguish of donning a temporary face covering for a small portion of their day. But while it's compulsory, there's really no fucking excuse besides "Sorry, I'm a bit of a cunt and the slight discomfort of wearing a mask is too much to bear so I'm just going to walk about without one looking like a massive bellend and then claim I have some kind of debilitating disability/mild asthma when questioned about my exempt status". Just do what you're fucking told for fuck's sake.
I think my issue is compounded somewhat by the fact that I work in a job where staff are mandated to wear masks throughout the day. Mine goes on at 8 in the morning and doesn't come off again until 5pm unless I decide to take a 30 minute lunch break. Would I prefer not to wear a mask? Of course. But it's really not a fucking hardship. If a customer/member of the public is unwilling return that courtesy for the short amount of time that they are required to do so, they're a fucking twat in my book.
Sorry. Needed to get that off my chest. But yeah, no cinema for me for the time being!

but not because it's any safer here, it's because England is 75% fucking stupid cunts.

I can't control what anyone else does, so not going to stress about it.
I'm not concerned about catching it myself, I'm almost certain I had it spring 2020, and will keep myself vaccinated. I just don't want to pass it on to anyone vulnerable, so I take measures against that.

I also value my own life to some extent.
Could you explain how going to a crowded indoor space is going to help you learn how to live with a deadly virus?

so care to explain how you expect the world to carry on at all?
All go live in caves somewhere and never contact each other, until we die of old age?

I think there's some happy medium between living alone in caves and 24/7 face-licking parties.
I don't think 'learning to live with the virus' is particularly meaningful. I think you're using it as a euphemism for something pretty dark.
