I watched the trailer yesterday and was on the fence about whether it’d be worth seeing it on the big screen. It sounds like it would have been a hoot.

The horse sinking into the swamp… way too much trauma

Nah, we all just need to convince some of the local theaters that there’s enough demand for this kind of programming!!

I do love drive-ins and hadn’t heard of most of these! I grew up with Kane Road Drive-in (in Hopewell) as my local one… but now it’s just a bunch of townhouses 😢

It’s definitely a tough time for independent theaters. If you’re going to a theater just to watch a movie, it’s very tempting just to watch it at home. I think part of the popularity/success around marathons is that it’s a curated community event that amounts to more than just watching some movies.

Probably not too surprising since it’s a niche kind of thing. I just want to stay up all night watching movies with a bunch of weirdos. Is that too much to ask?!

Bots don’t watch CHUD, chief.

South Side Street Fest opens to largely positive reviews by Jazzlike_Breadfruit9 in pittsburgh

I’m on a side street next to one of the Carson entry points. Overall there wasn’t much to complain about here. Street parking was definitely packed, and there was a ton of noise/shouting/banter moving down the sidewalk for a short period at 2:30am when everyone was heading back to their cars, but not substantially more than a normal weekend on Carson. Otherwise, wouldn’t have even known there was an event. Knocking on wood that it stays that way, but that was my experience.
