I just got home from my very first drive-in experience. Overall I think it’s safe to say it pretty much sucked. I mean, the company was good, the weather wasn’t terrible, we were just a little under prepared, and the movies weren’t all that great. Next time we need a truck, more blankets and pillows, and to get there earlier to get a good spot without a pole blocking our view.
The first movie that was playing was Obsessed. Now we all know who Beyonce is; and now we all know she is a singer and that is it. Okay, to be fair, her acting wasn’t that bad, but it really wasn’t that great. Unless her aim was to pretend to be a rich upper-class black person who brought out the stereotypical racial accent of a lower class citizen living in the ghetto, she should stick to singing and dancing.
Overall this movie just felt like a dragged out trailer; with no definitive beginning middle or ending.
The next movie was Angels and Demons. Which isn’t a bad movie, from what I gathered, but also wasn’t a ‘drive-in’ sort of movie. It’s one of those movies you’d rent and watch at home all curled up in warm blankets on the couch with your warm coca and cookies; not laying on hard rocks with a thin layer of fabric separating you from the gravel.
We arrived half way through Obsessed (thank god), fell asleep watching Angels &Demons, and when I wasn’t sleeping I was trying to watch Star Trek on the screen to the left (which looked like it ruled!). Lydia,Wes, and I all wanted to see it but somehow we lost the vote.
But I’m glad I finally went to the drive-in, and I also picked up a few helpful tips for next time: Bring a pillow, more blankets, and don’t let David pick movies.
