Out of Pod Experience

"Bill's going to be so mad at me. I spent an entire $27.00 at the grocery store this week. Prices are so high these days. It's just ridiculous. I don't know how the A&P is going to stay in business. I bet Gerald Ford has something to do with this. Or the Russians."


ROFLMAO!!!

No one went to drive-ins for the movie. However, an entire generation was conceived in drive ins.

or, you know, anyone not growing up in the states

ah, the Drive-in wasn't about the movie, it was about fun. There was always something going on, people walking around, drinking, getting high, getting laid, just hanging out...the Drive-in was a community block party.

And the op article..freakin awesome...that was sooo much like it was. The son getting spanked by the neighbor for throwing rocks "good, you should be lucky you don't get two" hahahaha!

"I put the three older ones in the back of the station wagon and set the baby on the front seat and off we went."
Baby in the front seat where mom could watch him/her, but no car seat or even seat belt. Cars back then did have lap seat belts (no shoulder belt), but nobody used the stupid things. When the states started passing seat belt laws, it was like a huge infringement everybody's freedom and liberty. First step toward a Commie police state.

Yep. I had a summer job in the concession stand at a drive-in. Nobody watched the movies, the just went around from car to car partying.

Saturn 3 was playing that summer, and everybody wanted to see it because there was a brief scene of Farah Fawcett topless. But the guys in the projection booth kept cutting the topless frames out of the celloid and taking them home for their personal collections. Eventually the whole topless scene was gone. There was quite a bit of grumbling about the missing boobies among the customers.

I'm 21 and I have been to one. Grease was the movie that night

Wow. Where was that ??

There is actually a current very minor revival of drive-ins in a few places. They are a bit more upscale than they used to be.

That's a really neat idea.

Too bad they didn't show "Myra Breckenridge" (borderline NSFW) instead, and freak out and upset everyone

Trailer: check out the bizarre cast !

"Myron Breckinridge is waiting for her sex-change operation while a stoned surgeon stumbles into the operating room. Before the drugged doctor begins Myron's operation, he counsels her. Myron persists and the doctor goes through with it. An enthusiastic audience observing the operation applauds the medical achievement and rises in a standing ovation.

"After the operation, Myron arrives in Hollywood as Myra while in the rest of the film Myron pops up from time to time as Myra's alter ego. Myra goes to an acting academy owned by her uncle, Buck Loner, a former cowboy star. The real reason for Myra's arrival is to claim her half of Uncle Buck's estate, which she says she's entitled to. Buck Loner stalls by giving her a job teaching the history of motion pictures. Buck Loner has several friends. One of them is Letitia Van Allen, an ancient Hollywood talent scout. The sex-starved septuagenarian runs an acting agency "for leading men only."

I saw it a few months later on HBO.

It's freaky now to think there was a film with Kirk Douglas AND Harvey Keitel (and music by John Barry - Bond films) where it's the robot that "has a go" at Farrah Fawcett.

The 70s were strange.
