Swine flu, will it depress turnout?

[urbandk]

Now I'm getting paranoid.

 

[SalvorHardin]

Unless everyone dies from it or they start serving swine instead of popcorn at the theater, I don't see how this would affect Trek...

 

[Jessop]

wtf? If there is a swine flu pandemic we'll have more things to worry about than Star Trek's box office performance.

 

[Ensign_Redshirt]

If there is a devastating global pandemic which causes the collapse of society as we know it then maybe Star Trek will become the last film ever to be shown in a movie theater. Kind of cool, isn't it?

Now I'm getting paranoid.

why? have people gotten sick in Texas?

Not if society collapses before you have a chance to go see it.

 

[Michael Chris]

I doubt it. It'll probably be out of the news by then.

 

[Sector 7]

Yeah, you are being paranoid. And yeah, we love ya anyway.

 

[Cyke101]

I can guarantee that swine flu will prevent Tellarites from seeing the film.

I was simply thinking of that "Jeremiah" episode, where Jeremiah and Kurdy are trying to remember the Star Wars movies they watched when they were kids..

 

[ChristopherPike]

So let me get this straight, the guy upstairs sent a plague with the express purpose of preventing a Star Trek reboot?

I knew it! Deities have always been big on canon.... even when the chapters at the back seem to contradict those written at the front!

LOL, QFT.

 

[shapeshifter]

Not, unless people everywhere start dropping dead.

 

[Thor Damar]

No, but it does depress me. Honestly, do the SOB's have to try and frighten us at every available opportunity? It's bad enough that we're going into the next great Depression but now we're going to possibly die from 'flu like symptoms'? Hooray!

The best cure would be to go and see this film. Simon Pegg will save the day once again.

 

[Kruge]

I will be there May 7th at 9:55 pm, vomiting or not..

 

[Kruge]

And yes, several people in Texas have gotten sick

 

[Aragorn]

On MattJC's Facebook page, he just became a fan of swine flu.

I haven't seen him for quite a while. I thought he was warming up to the movie after contacting someone on a thread?

 

[Aragorn]

Is it possible he's on board suspension? The old board showed everyone who had received warnings and bans, but I don't see it anywhere now.
