drive - ins

[Dave Q]

Ive been to the one at Blacktown a few times.

You can tune your radio in to the movie on an FM frequency that depending on your stereo, is pretty good.

I saw Lord of the Rings...Return of the King there. The spider was about 2 or 3 stories high and a semi-trailer in width.

It was quite entertaining.

The new disaster movie 2012 is coming out and I imagine that the good folk of the drive-in will screen that.

Its not a young persons gig any more, theres lots of families and oldies etc.

Not too many bouncing panelvans or SUV's.


Yeah, drive in's, some weird twisted dynastic regressive throw back to the 1970's...Im there.

Old dogs and avatar would be a good double

 

[IanG]

I do wonder how come they're closed for those 2 weekends. Fair enough that they'd be closed New Years Eve. People'd be doing other things.

Makes sense. Cuz Scotty also runs the cinema at Raymond Terrace.

Heard an ad for it on radio the other day. Still amusing how they slip in the "If you don't like the movie, Slash the seats" line.

 

[roboshark]

I also got a damn flat battery......first time ever at the drivein

I used to go to Chullora Drive-In. It was huge. I assume it's gone now.

Where was the one at Chullora?

 

[Kranendonk]

[roboshark]

Interested to know how many people get there on a tues nite. Wouldn't be many cars I'd imagine
