What are you about to watch?
« on: December 15, 2012, 06:45:54 PM »
I love used movie stores...  Picked up some premium blu-ray and a 6 DVD Jimmy Stewart set...  I saw the Rare Breed a few nights ago on cable and am crushing on Maureen O'Hara; even at 46 she was still stunning...  And who knew there was a girl in Forbidden Planet?  Can't wait to see that one!  I've also held out long enough on Marilyn films; ever since I tried Some Like it Hot I have just been passing them by...

The Hobbit is the only movie I have yet to see.  We've seen about 3 movies a week for the past 2 months, and The Hobbit is the last one.  For some reasons, though, I am not dying to see it.  It doesn't appeal to me the way the LotR trilogy did.  So I might end up missing it.

Lucky you. I wish I could see movies before everyone else. These are the two movies I most want to see.

Geez, I could post my nightly work load here at the beginning of my day... but I won't.  But, I do get to watch The Patriot tonight so that's cool.  However, Smokey and the Bandit Part Three isn't sitting to well, we'll see...

Hoping to see THE TERMINATOR tonight at the DRIVE IN....
One problem.
I don't drive.
And seems so far nobody is too excited like I am to take me.
I never miss driving, until today.
Anyway still early, pray to Arnie someone will realise how fun drive ins are, otherwise I might ride my skateboard and take a transistor radio.

Never went to a drive in. It sounds like fun though. ;)

I've never wanted to drive, when my wife was oregant I gave in, and did for a few years, when I moved to Sydney I didn't need and couldn't afford a car, public transport I'd great, and parking is either impossible or expensive. So I didn't renew my licence for 15 or so years. Now I have to do the whole exam stuff again and I usually don't miss driving. I hate it, don't like cars in general. Plus I'm still in a Sydney mindset, where you might walk if it's 30 minutes etc, in the country people drive if it's around the corner, and a ten minute walk that's jot in the beach or in the bush is unheard of.

I might have to though to get a job, one guy a few weeks ago wouldn't hire me because I don't drive. But it's stupid because the work is less than ten minutes walk from my house. He couldn't understand I would just walk and thinks I would be relying on lifts from people. Strange mindset that I am having my own private rebellion against.

Never went to a drive in. It sounds like fun though. ;)

They are great, we went often as a kid, my parents would put us kids under blankets and pretend we were under four years old to get in free. Always a double feature, with the kids playing on slides and swings in the break or during a boring movie. We had three here when I was a kid,plus a cinema and the population was about 13,000 so that's how popular they were.

For the year when I was 9,  we went almost every saturday night to a movie. The majority was at the drive inn.

Great times they were!

I always wondered if you can actually hear anything in a drive in, though i suppose it is all about the outdoor experience, it must be fun.

When I was a child we used to go to the church's square in the summer. All outdoors and the most uncomfortable stools i can recall. Our priest had and old projector and an old white blanket and really weird films,  i swear i watched there 'The blood splattered bride'' and 'Rintintin'. And all sort of weird religious films. All good fun till the day the blanket caught fire. Now that was fun.

Usually there are speakers you attach to your window, or you tune your car radio into the drive ins frequency, sound isn't a problem at all.

Like many of us old-timers on this board, I just about grew up in a drive-in.
There are still some around here in central NY, but I imagine they are a far cry from the experience of yesteryear.

I am looking forward to this. 
I have just emailed the releasing company to find out when and where it will be seen.

Very effective trailer!  I just watched it in October and I want to see it again now :)

Kino did a blu-ray restoration and it apparently looks like mush... the boosted everything so much that the grain is gone and it looks like badly compressed satellite HD.  Luckily they included an un-doctored scan of the neg as well... warts, grain and all.  That's the version I want to see!

Thanks for the link Harry, I'll be picking it up soon...

Until then, Yvonne's on a Girly night out so I'm giving both the Count Yorga's a re-run. I haven't seen them in over 15 years...  Wish me luck. :-\

Raining, cold, ugly outside. Staying in now, gym later. Will be watching guess what?


Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',
On this, our wedding day.
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',
Wait


I still think that the first 2 minutes of this film are just pure class. Simple, classy. Hard to beat.
