and never looked back.
the ONLY time i go to the theater anymore is for an event movie, and it's only at imax (all 3 Avengers movies sofar, Interstellar, the last Blade Runner).
otherwise drive-ins are a fucking dream come true man.
we've had a functioning one here locally since the 60s. underwent renovations in the 90s and has been ticking along ever since.
i would go at least 2-3 times a week, catch a double feature for half the price of a single theater ticket, the combos were half the price too (and they served Pepsi instead of Coke).
and i get to smoke my balls off all night inside the vehicle.
only reason i havent been since 2017 is cos my ride fell apart and i cant use wifeys car to smoke in and potentially trash with popcorn.

but it's a great alternative. it was like finding the nirvana of movie-going experiences cos it cuts out the most problematic element: other fucking moviegoers. not sure if they still operate in the states but i highly recommend it.
