Back to the Drive-In
Some of you long-time readers may remember this post I wrote a while back about drive-in movie theaters.
There is something special about the drive-in, and its intensely iconic Americana notes that brings up highly visceral and nostalgic memories for people. That post had a large number of comments on it, and my desire to write the post int he first place was sparked by the number of responses to a meme I started that were closely tied to drive-in movies.
And so, when I came across this recent Variety story, I decided it was worth passing along. Hopefully, it will lead to many more people heading to the drive-in, and creating more memories of their own!
Enjoy!

Saw that article too and thought it was pretty cool. I think the last movie I saw at a drive-in was Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I was on a date and it seemed like the kind of movie where you could miss large chunks of the story and still be able to follow it. However, I remember thinking that the film wasn't all that bad-- perhaps that's why my girlfriend later dumped me.
I'm hoping Portland opens some bike-in theaters!
Up here in the Okanagan we have a wildly successful drive in. It's out in the middle of nowhere, but people drive a good thirty/forty minutes to watch something.
I definitely think that there's something special about sitting in your car, not having to worry about the people around you...
Thank your for the reminder this post is! It inspired me to go back to my own past and indulge myself for a while in good old nostalgia: drive-ins, diners, pinball and the 50s. Cheers for that!
What a great site!
I love the Dude references.
Thank you for all of your screenplay knowledge.
If you wouldn't mind looking at my site and letting me know what you think. It is a screenplay know-how page that deals with structure and formations of scripts.

"Is there a Ralph's around here?"
