Yeah, my wife and I go to our "local" one quite a bit. Not so much recently as there are just aren't any good movies being released anymore... but when we were discussing what I'd actually miss about Sydney if the day ever comes when we can move up the coast, the drive-in (and my buds) was about the only thing I agreed I'd miss a bit. It's good fun.

 

As for eating out there, we always eat somewhere beforehand, or bring stuff in the car. No food at any kind of cinema experience in Australia is affordable.

I grew up with drive ins and have many fond memories as a kid, esp in the winter, bundled up with a hot thermos. I remember seeing CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and it looked like the UFOs were coming out of the sky! Our theatre also had one screen they would play adult movies on, we would turn around and sneak peeks ;)

 

I remember when they changed from the speakers on the cord to radio broadcast, I thought that was the best thing ever.

 

I did have a chance to take my own family a number of times before the last one here closed. The last movies I saw were BATMAN BEGINS, FANTASTIC FOUR and another comic movie.

 

We would always bring food/drink, but would still get something at the snack bar anyway :)

Never been to a drive-in. There are very few left, none in New Jersey that I'm aware of. There is one not far from me over the border in NY state but regrettably I've never gotten round to checking out a flick there.

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Babymetal

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
