This is where we see about 90% of the films we go to. There is a strange allure to to watching a film outside sitting in lawn chairs in front of the van while being eaten alive by mosquitos. The screen is freaking huge! A Coke is $1, popcorn is cheap, and candy is 75 cents or a dollar. The sound is broadcast in stereo over an FM frequency, and since I take a battery powered boombox there is no risk of the car battery going dead.

~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
~ george clooney, inside the actor's studio
a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

There aren't any drive-ins left where I live. I bet it's fun though.
During the summer I'll go to Wildwood NJ and watch movies on the beach. It's a drive-in sized screen with massive speakers along the perimeter of the viewing area. You pay your 7 bucks, throw a blanket on the beach, eat some food, drink some beer and have a good old time.

I don't drive, so I've never gone to a drive-in. But it's nice to know that drive-ins are still being enjoyed by people.
Yes, they suck. Well, ok, they bite and then suck...A Gunslinger wrote:Sounds like a plan except for the skeeters. I hate those bastard things, the food chain be damned.

Drive-ins are great, it's a shame there aren't more of them left.

I used to go to the drive-in theaters all the time.
But none are around here any more.
They were torn down to built condos and Wal-Marts.
As for the skeeters; well, in Florida you have to put up with them.
After all, it IS the Florida State bird!
(And a vicious little weed called the "Sand Spur" is our state flower.)
Damn, how I miss the drive-ins.
