Drive-ins
Last night I took Ian and Olivia to the drive-in to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Bewitched. We went with several of their dance friends. Charlie was fantastic -- I think I laughed more than the kids. Johnny Depp was brilliant; very different from Gene Wilder, but he had to be. I will definitely be buying the DVD when it comes out.
Bewitched was okay. It seemed more like the level of a tv movie though. I was glad we saw it as a double-feature at the drive-in instead of paying full price at a first-run theatre. Amusing thoug, especially if you were a fan of the original series.
I love going to the drive-in. I had never been to one until I was in college, because all the local ones closed before I was old enough to date (lol). The last remaining one is about 30 minutes out of town. It still has playground equipment down front and the concession stand still serves hamburgers and hot dogs. Pretty cool, huh? The kids love it because it's different and they don't have to sit still all the time. I love it cuz it's cheap and really fun with a group. Anybody else still have drive-ins?

Thanks for the comment on my site.
Did you really like the Charlie and Chocolate Factory? Johnny Depp's looking like a girl didn't bother you too much?
I am afraid that I am going to spend the whole movie wondering when some "Crying Game" stuff is going to happen.
I love drive-ins! Haven't gone to one yet this summer but I intend to.
I enjoyed Bewitched although I felt more could have been done with such a great cast.
You have NO idea how much I miss drive-in theatres. There isn't one within a decent drive from me. A shame too because neither of my daughters has ever been to a drive-in. I grew up in them. Mom and Dad used to load the back of the station wagon with pillows and sleeping bags and pull into the slot backwards. The four of us kids would climb in and have a blast, when we weren't fighting or making another trip to the concession stand.
The last time I went was on my first date with my oldest daughters dad, that was almost 19 years ago.
I'd give just about anything to have a drive-thru here.
Sorry for the novel, sparked some pretty good memories it did. I might have to link this post and post about it myself.
Thanks.

Guru: It didn't bother me at all. It was just part of the whole eccentric/weird package!
Chyrene: I agree. The cast was really good, but kind of wasted.
Dawn: Feel free!
