    Default Drive-In Theatres

    They grow rarer by the day. Who's got a drive-in movie theatre within driving distance of wherever you live? If you do, when was the last time you went there?

    If you don't, that sucks for you. There used to be one here in north Fresno, but they tore it down and built a Costco.

    I thought they were an urban legend?

    I been to one when I was a kid. I saw the second Ghostbusters movie. Also, I went and saw a double feature sometime in 2001 (The Animal and Tomb Raider). Yeah, those are crappy movies, but I only had to pay $4 for both.

    Anyway, whenever I am at one I feel weird. It's really hard to explain, but I feel that I am about to get myself in a survivor horror (Silent Hill style) situation when I go to them.

    The last time I went in 2001, something strange happened. I went to the bathroom. There were at least six or seven people in there. Since all the urinals were filled, I went inside one of the stalls, which had a vent above my head. All of a sudden, I heard a weird noise in the vent. It sounded like someone was moaning in pain or something. All of a sudden, all the casual talking stopped in the bathroom. When I came out of the stall, everyone was gone. Either seven people had too much time on their hands for a joke, or something messed up was going on. [/pointless story]

    There's still one about 45 minutes from where I live, back home.

    No. I don't even think we have them here in England.

    There's one about twenty minutes from here. It's down the street from Cid's house, actually.

    I haven't been there for at least a year and a half. I'd like to go there, but we usually end up waiting until movies come out on DVD to watch them these days.

    I've seen a few of them around, but I've never been to one.

    Drive-in theaters are great. Too bad they're all disappearing.
    I am alive I will never run away Places inside My heart screams inside with pride Once I cried Now I wipe away the tears Once I died Now I'm alive

    And we sneak a call And we're like thieves I love the times like these Just don't say goodbye Just won't you please I'm trying to do the right thing

    All my life I was in the cold Now I find I feel nothing more Leave me to learn Leave me to hurt Now I'm not so invincible

    I've never been to one before. I saw one on Full House and The Outsider movie if that counts for anything.

    Neither seen nor been. Apart from the novelty, they don't seem like an insanely intelligent idea anyway.
