Drive-in Theater 2.0
Whatever happened to the Great American Drive-in theater? There's something to be said about freezing your ass off at 10pm, watching a first run movie release on a gigantic screen in front of a parking lot (all while listening to the soundtrack on a single speaker hanging from the top of your driver's side window). I pity the geek who has never experienced a drive-in movie. In later years, some theaters had the audio streaming from a very localized FM station. You could listen to the movie in stereo without having to roll down your window! Get ready to freak out, kids – MobMov is on the move. If your city isn't listed, you can volunteer to be the driver. This is totally wicked, in both a modern and nostalgic way. “Drive-ins were popular originally because it was like having your own private cineplex – if you wanted privacy, you'd just roll up your windows. If you wanted to be part of a community, you'd roll them down, open your doors, maybe even walk around. Secondly, while a traditional GDI only operates in the summer, you can stay in your car with the heater running while participating in a mobmov.” Watching DVDs at home is so 1999.
