oh and my lil pet peeve ... why the make the beast with two backs do people bring very young children to movies that
start after 8pm and is full of loud gunshots and explosions? i am not paying 32 bucks to listen to some bastard child scream at the top of its lungs!!!

Reminds me of the time I saw the original "Jurassic Park" at a weekend matinee. Scores of little kids with their idiot parents, coming to see the dinosaurs, making way too much racket. Then came the pivotal scene where the T-Rex made its appearance, escaped the fences, and began terrorizing (and eating) people. Suddenly the dinosaurs weren't so cool and little kids began screaming in real horror everywhere, many being frantically coddled and hurried toward the exits by slack-jawed moms and dads.

Thank you, carnivorous reptiles!

I must say, I don't think I've ever seen Batman grab his crotch and say that to a bad guy!!

Oh yeah - I suppose you're right!

Chronologically:

S1: Spartacus Gods of the Arena
S2: Spartacus Blood and Sand
S3: Spartacus Vengeance

Technically though....

Prequel: Spartacus Gods of the Arena
S1: Spartacus Blood and Sand
S2: Spartacus Vengeance

It just won't be the same without Andy though. The guy was awesome as Spartacus.

Personally, I like theaters. I even worked at one as a teenager (even became middle-mgmt...). It's a fun experience. Prices have gone up A LOT. But, I just try to catch matinees or movies I really wanna see.

Also, I've been enjoying the drive-in a lot recently. It's cheap. The food is as good as I want to bring. I can spend 5 hours there without a problem. I can have a couple drinks. The sound is fine. I don't have to worry about anyone else's kids.

The thing about drive in theaters is that the windshield acts like a photographic lens and in most modern cars the distance from the glass to the front seat does not provide the optimal focal length.  Experience shows that the back seat is ideal.

At least that's what I would tell my dates back in high school.

This worked fine until I dated a girl in the photo club.  She taught me about f-stop.

Nearly lost the flower of my youth at a drive in.  I haven't seen one in years.

When we've gone to the drive-in, we fold down the seats and toss an air mattress in the back of my X-Terra, inflated it fits perfectly. So all we need to do is park backwards so that we can lay there and watch the movie without any windshield problems!!

Used to love the Drive in, I used to work for a Car Audio Store and every time they announced a Dusk to Damn Movie Marathon I used to round up about 8 or 9 good Customers/Friends and have a Movie night, I would grab some big Heavy Duty Deep Cycle Batteries from the Store and we would hook up our Car Audio Systems to the Drive in's Audio system and have a great time.

It never ceased to amaze me how many people used to work there way over to over little noisy section, for the 1st movie we would have our group of about 16  or 17 people, by the end of the night, we would have about anywhere up to 70 or 80 people crowded around our cars, all happily enjoying the movies with Thunderous Bass and crystal clear sound!

Damn I miss those nights.

It's too bad that the drive-in's have taken such a hit because of Imax and such. They really are a unique gem.

Look who's making a return to the big screen:

Haven't seen a drive in or a flower of youth in years?

San Diego has a couple of them. Went and saw Priest and Source Code on Friday at one. Brought Gin n tonics, samiches from Rubicon Deli, some snacks, blankets, and a girl that likes to cuddle. I'm debating some sort of air mattress. But, the blankets have been working well.

When I was a teen, Mortal Combat came out on the big screen and we used to watch it at the drive in and turn up the bass. it truly did turn into a party as said above. Hell, we've put a couch on top of a pick-up lumber rack and watched that way (completely redneck).

I think you missed the point. 

Oh crap!!! Why is it that ALL movies are seemingly being remade??

This really frustrates me especially in this case case. Apparently Phil Noyce (who directed Salt, Patriot Games, and others)will be remaking one of the best martial arts movies...ever:



Yep....Bloodsport...




-Also, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon will be getting the big screen treatment.


-And Seth MacFarlane has been given approval to remake The Flintstones.
