So Much for Going to the Drive-In
Posted on July 12, 2008 by Ching under Life, Movies.
Brian and I were planning another trip to the drive-in tonight. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating. I’ve only been to the drive-in a couple of times, once last year and once last weekend, but I really enjoy it. I think it’s a great value.
Brian wants to go see Hellboy II. I really wasn’t so keen on it at first, but after watching the previews I’m coming around. I think it will be 10 times better than the first one. Specially since this one is directed by the same director who did Pan’s Labyrinth (great movie).
We originally decided to watch it at the Warren, even though it’s not in the balcony. I was supposed to buy discounted tickets from Carly at work (we used our last four VIP passes when we treated Brian’s parents to Wanted a few weeks ago), but I have been so busy this week. Since I didn’t get discounted tickets, our backup plan was to just watch a mantinee. However, matinees now cost $7. Hardly a bargain. I just can’t stomach paying full price for movies anymore.
Our final plan was go to the drive-in where we can watch three movies for less than $20 (a much better value). This time it would have been Hellboy II, Wanted, and Incredible Hulk. We have seen the other two movies (Wanted and Incredible Hulk) already, but we wouldn’t mind watching them again for free. The only problem is that we watch movies from the back of Brian’s truck and, with it being a rainy weekend, we are likely to get rained on.
So we nixed the drive-in idea and we are back to the matinee idea. It won’t be as much fun, but at least the sound and picture quality will be better.
Anyhow, here are some pictures we took at the drive-in last week when we went to see Hancock, Get Smart, and You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
