It was something that was made tempoary in the town where I used to live. I think it was part of some 60's or 70's themed event. One of the guys who arranged it gave tickets to my family.



That's a really neat idea.

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

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 Myra Breckinridge when I was in college! It's still pretty high up on the list of most bizarre movies I've seen Shocked

Yeah. It's so convoluted it's actually hard to follow what's going on exactly when watching. All the intercutting of fragments from older films.

I do remember the sex scene where the guy reaches climax, and it cuts to ancient footage of Shirley Temple milking a goat and getting sprayed right in the face ! Shocked

It's that kind of film.

IMHO it is the BEST John Water's film.

Period.

Even without Divine.

Every single line is hilarious and scandalous and astonishing.

"All those trees, using up all my oxygen !" (they give out oxygen)

"I'm so hungry, I could eat Cancer." (the cat)

(Woman wanting sex change holds a gun to doctor's head) "Dammit ! I want a wang...and I want it now !"

It's hilarious, really.

What state ? (I'll do the googling)

I looked again at the original picture on post #1, and, looking at some photos of others today, that's a really HUGE drive-in .

I don't think I ever went to another drive-in after we moved from that town in 76.

So I got to see "Logan's Run", "Star Wars" and all that in real theaters thank god.

And then later she cuts it off and tosses it aside and a dog runs off with it. They just don't make quality entertainment like that any more.

LOL Blog described my entire childhood, I was born in '76. From then until I left the house it was this way, save ours was a bit dysfunctional. My parents didn't give a rip if we were in the car or not, they'd light up just fine, windows rolled up in the winter. No seat belts, long trips my brother laid on the huge back dash of our Ford LTD. We even "Van Surfed"... Standing up in the back of a Chevy Van and "Surfing". If there were lots of hills, we'd jump to see how much air we could get. Cops never said a word.

My Aunt was BIG into Disco LMAO. She tried teaching my sis and I how to dance. Never took with either of us, we both still have 2 left feet LOL.

I've on numerous occasions been told "Oh shut up, it's just a cut" or "stop sniveling, it's just a thorn, lemme get it out". Winter or summer we were NEVER inside. Ever. Cartoons was something done in the morning before school or Saturday morning. The rest of the time you were OUTSIDE and if you argued about that you got SPANKED (Gasp)! You checked in every three hours and came home when the street lights came on. Homework and chores first, always. If you were fighting with your siblings, take it outside and I don't want to hear ya crying about it. Today my sister is one of the toughest women I know! LOL.

Trailer Trash and proud of it!

It's amazing how Waters makes stuff like that sincerely hilarious and not appalling.

Oh....and the wrestling scene where Mo knocks the guys eyeball right out of his head, and then they show it being stepped on with a popping sound Lol
