DRIVE-in: Keeping drive-in culture alive





> movies
> do sex in the car: private but public
> drink a lot of beer
> pick the fresh air
> smoke some cigarettes
> let the film to end and to see another following
> put the hand in the hot
> have a cold beer in the other
> smoke one more cigarettes
> leave the darkness to enter for the window
> the lights in the glasses of the other cars
> unusual
> not see the film

in this time of movies home, I choose the movies in the street.
this is my fascination: Drive-in; the ideal mixture of the private with the public, of the I summon with the glance on the neighboring car; the erotic to balance of the cars mixed with the drama in the screen; somebody doesn't want to see the film... he has other to do!

We have a four screen drive in near us. We don't get a chance to go as often as we would like.

Now I want to go bawl

That is so cool. The Drive-In theater in the animated gif is the Cottage View. It's the one that we bring our daughter to a couple times a year, as it's only one of three that are still around in Minnesota. It's so fantastically retro.

Drive-ins were a huge part of my childhood, so I had to have my little girl experience it. She brings her friend and they wear their jammies, bring a frisbee or a ball and a flashlight. She loves it too.

The smells and sounds of a drive-in are so wonderful. A mixture of bug spray, popcorn, exhaust fumes and the always too bassy rumblings of the film's sound coming from all of the cars.

They still play the 1970's previews and concession stand commercials. cool

>for me I don't associate Drive-in to a way of seeing movies in family... it 's a adults' thing;I never watched a film with classification for children; and Drive-in is,for me, a pause height in the routine of the house, for the intrinsic way " movies out of house" Anyway, it 's a possibility, nowadays with the children's habit (they lie down late) and they always walk agglutinated to the parents... signs of the times.
>or my fascination for the drive-in is also a sign of the will that I have in forgetting the house, the things of the obligations and dream with other life without Real, pure pleasure in enjoying an adolescence spirit again

One of the first things folks around here did when then they got their driver's license was go to a drive-in with their date - and not watch the movie. Now that drive-ins are almost extinct, I think that the culture has changed and become more of a nostalgia trip. Property values (and taxes) soared in the 1980's and theater owners couldn't afford to not sell. Very sad for us that grew up with them.

sad it 's sad that it has been sold; and now what happens in that space? just the ghosts of the past? don't financial bottoms exist for rebuilding? the neighborhood associations exist or don't they have the force (eventually existent in Europe) to defend the colective memoirs of the place?

then to the memory of your place
homage

mushy
YES!!!

>dream and we continued like this :new and beautiful.
not lose the horizon of the dream: the Utopia is foundation of the life, above all when we were closed in a marriage, in the house,...

>the children grow and later we returned to our adolescence; with me it went like this and it will be with whom believes: it can be even just in one night in Drive-in, one day

> with me it went like this and it will be with whom believes: it can be even just in one night in Drive-in, one day
the drive-in is a reference place for all of the desires that were occult in the diapers, fixed in the loiça, in the freezer,
in Drive-in it is dark, it can appear Brad Pitt, Marlin Moroe, the neighbor, just a stranger that offers us a sweet cotton or a hot chocolate, a stranger that he offers us a beer, asks for fire to light his cigarette, or alone, we dreamed how it would be good we be 18 years old again

>I like you a lot Zombie . Believes and dreams for besides the walls!
