HAHA made you look didn’t I?
Nope, not pregnant, not even close. The title of this post refers to the movie of the same name. I’ve been wanting to see Knocked Up, but I’m not sure if I actually want to go to the theatre to see it. Same with Evan Almighty– they both look okay, but I have a problem with going to the movie theatre. Sure it’s fun and all, but it’s a hassle to sneak in food (no sir no way am I paying $87 for some nibs; generally I bring like, a turkey sandwich or something. WAY better than concession stand nachos), I worry that the movie might end up sucking and then we’ll have paid $13/ticket for crap (our theatre doesn’t have $4 Tuesdays! WTF!), and on the comfort level, theater seating isn’t always optimal (although our theatre has some great seats… the arms in between seats are adjustable, so I can snuggle up to my husband without having an arm digging into my ribs) and there’s always SOMEONE who feels the need to talk all through, or kick the back of your seat, or bring their crying 4-year-old to an 11:30 pm showing of Hannibal Lecter vs. The Exorcist Inside The Most Haunted House In The World And Freddy Krueger’s There Too, And He’s Cranky.
BUT! I just checked, and our local drive-in is showing Knocked Up *and* Evan Almighty on the same night this summer, $10 per carload, we can wear our pyjamas, and if I want to roast an entire pig and bring it with (but where would it sit? the backseat?), I can. Oh, drive-ins. I love you so.
I feel like I’m missing something by having never been to a drive-in theater.
I can’t say I’m excited about either of these movies but Evan Almighty looks fun. Still… I’m not paying $6.00 to go see it. I will, however, being paying that to go see the new Harry Potter movie when it comes out.
Drive ins! Now that I live in a big city and decided (in a fit of what must surely have beeninsanity) that I DID NOT NEED a car.. I have to admit I miss drive ins. drive ins and trips to the Superstore (but that’s a different story).
Enjoy the movies, your turkey sandwich and your pyjama cuddle with the hubby.
Oooooh a drive-in! In pyjamas! Incredibly cool!
Also, I had to laugh at the title of your imaginary 11:30 p.m. horror film
I miss our drive-in already! It was the last one left in this area, too.
I think I actually saw “Twister” there lo these many years ago. That’s something my daughter won’t get to experience, I suppose, unless we’re traveling and happen upon one somewhere…
