Let me take you to the movies, can I take you to the show

We have just been to the pictures. To see The Town as you ask, very good film - go and see it. Very odd though, watching a film which mentions the town you live in and has a railway station where you have caught a train from and many other places that you recognize and none of them are in Britain. But this wasn't the remarkable thing about the evening. It was where we went to watch it.


We went here- our local drive in theatre. I now really feel as though I live in America. And it was everything that you would expect it to be. You no longer have speakers on poles to listen to the sound, instead it is broadcast over FM and received on the radio in the car. Other than that it could have been straight out of a film itself. Sadly next weekend is the last of the season. But I think we shall go again next year when it starts again. Its a bit of a bargain at 20 bucks a car. For that you get a double bill (the other film tonight being Machete, didn't really fancy it so we left at the intermission) and a real slice of Americana.

  1. Whilst Googling your song title, I came acrosss this: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/burkas-and-birkins/Content?oid=4132715
    Totally unrelated but possibly the greatest negative movie review of all time.

    Enjoy.
