I love going to the drive in. There is one in CT that has different specials every night of the week. Tuesdays it's $10 for as many people as you can fit in your car  :lol, and I think on Wednesday you get 3 movies for $10. I like it because you can bring a cooler full of beer and lawn chairs.

Drive-ins are awesome!  We went to one while on vacation, and they broadcast the soundtrack over FM so you could tune it in on your car radio and not use the horrible speakers you stick in your window.  I'd never seen that setup before, but it makes sense and I'm guessing it's the way they all do it nowadays, or at least the good places.

Years ago, Cheech and Chong's stoner movie "Up In Smoke" was playing at the drive-in, and this one friend from work asked me if I wanted to go see it with him.  Sure, sounded fun.  We sat and smoked and watched the movie, and whatever the other movie was (I don't even remember) and it was pretty cool.  This was way before home video, so watching a movie on the big screen while getting non-sober in your car was about as good as it gets.  We ended up going pretty much every weekend to smoke up and watch whatever movie was playing at the drive-in.

Eventually, he got fired over something stupid, and people were asking me how I felt about it, if I was okay, etc.  It was kinda weird, the way they were asking.  Some people said "Weren't you guys... um... ?"  Turns out he had a huge crush on me, but was too shy to make any kind of move, but a lot of people thought we were dating.  I had no idea.  I just thought we were stoner buddies.  Apparently I'd "friend-zoned" him.

It is kind of sad.  And what's weird is that I can see it, from his point of view and also the others at work.  We did go out every weekend, and people knew it.  He'd mention what movie was playing out at the drive-in, and ask if we were "on" for this weekend, and I'd say "Yes" without thinking any more about it, and people heard us.  I didn't have a girlfriend at the time (or a boyfriend for that matter) and I guess everyone knew he was gay, but I honestly never even thought about it.  All those times we went out, he always paid for the tickets and popcorn and stuff, shared his smoke with me, I just figured he was being generous and a good friend.  He seemed to have money, and I was broke all the time (I spent all my money on albums).  I guess he was just waiting for some kind of sign from me, and of course there never was one.  Then he got fired, and I never saw the guy again.  Actually, he did drop in once, weeks or maybe months later, just to say "Hi" and stuff like that.  By then, I knew, and it was weird.

Aw man, that is a sad and interesting story! Poor guy. I could see why you didn't pick up on it if he never made a move, but it must've looked gay to everyone else  :lol
Also, awesome that you saw Up in Smoke at the drive-in!

We made it kind of a thing, every time they lit up on screen, we did too.  (That's why I can't remember what the second movie was.  I can barely remember the first one.)  I've seen it enough times that I know it pretty much by heart anyway, but that whole part of my life is pretty much a blur.

Yes! I forgot to comment the other night but I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected, and while the ending was pretty obvious, I didn't dislike it as much as most seem to. It was a great action flick with a decent exposition of the time traveling genre with some twists. Awesome, funny, exciting...can't ask for much more in a Cruise flick.

But for anyone wanting more and doesn't mind comics, the manga 'All You Need Is Kill' is in my opinion infinitely better in story and action; but of course it's not as flashy as a movie. Still, if you liked the movie enough, the manga will more than satiate you; it's got some amazing scenes.

It was recommended that I not see the sequel by the all-knowing video store guy. But yeah, loved it. It was sort of... meaner than I expected. That girl was such a hilarious badass, and Cage was ridiculous. I actually had to go back and watch his last scene with subtitles because I had no idea what he was screaming  :lol

So one of my online friends that runs a chat server was given a suggestion by another friend that we should watch "Bad Grandpa" in the movie room we have set up.

We didn't get past 20 minutes before the rest of us decided it was complete shit  :lol So we turned it off.

Bad Grandpa was weird. It was ostensibly a hidden camera film but it had a narrative. :/

Can I take this moment to say that I absolutely LOVE My Cousin Vinny?

It's one of those perfect examples of a fairly straightforward storyline that is elevated to a whole new level of "great" by every single performance by every single actor/actress in the movie.

Anyway I found a film scan of a movie. The grain, weave, and reel marks reminded me of how much I miss it. Digital cinema sucks.
