    Default Drive In Movies Making A Big Comeback!

    Looks like drive ins are making a huge comeback!

    Showing movies.

    Singers are now using them to do concerts!

    People are having weddings at them with the big screen livestreaming at families homes who can't go!

    Events can be booked there also.

    Classic films like back to the future and batman 89 are getting shown as well.

    Having monster and horror events.

    New ones are now getting built! (really!)

    Looks like Netflix, amazon and indie movies are showing at drive ins also.

    This one is showing a few.

    Looks like a farmer has turned one of their fields into a drive-in and it's a hit.

    Looked it up. We have one 20 min from here! Hmm.

    Also looks like they can livestream like fathom events type films at them now!

    Someone should tell fathom events that.

    Strangely our local drive in has not done anything as of yet.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    The one close to me is open now, but just on the weekends and the concession stand is still closed. I would imagine it will be business as usual there within a few weeks though.
