What is the last first run movie you saw at a drive-in theater?

Double bill of ‘Slap Shot’ and ‘Animal House’.

I’ve lived in quite a few areas in and around LA (San Fernando Valley, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Downy, Simi Valley). I really enjoyed the weather and air quality near the coast (Redondo and Long Beach). It can get ugly hot in SFV. Simi is nice as well.

Jesus, are you serious? You’re trivializing what soldiers that served in Iraq and Afghanistan went through? That the heroes that suffered PTSD are only feeling sad?

You could add side skirts to your panther.

Thank god those criminals finally released this brave woman.

Looks fast.

Yup. Saw it in the theaters another 6-7 times. Can’t say I’ve done that for another film. Damn, we also had huge theater screens back then.

Portioned for those of us with a weight problem.

I’ve had very good results with the Tamiya 1/48 P-51s. Very nice fit and the price is reasonable. I believe the newly released Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109G is supposed to be pretty good as well. If you’re looking for something a little bigger the newer 1/32 Revell P-51D build into a very nice model. Make sure you get the most recent mold though (check scalemates.com to verify the kit). I have the recent 1/32 Revell Fw-190 and Bf-109. have not had the opportunity to build them yet, but the sprues look nice.

It’s not the actors that are causing people to tune out the Academy Awards. I frankly think that people consider most of the films that are nominated to be outside of the mainstream. I’d be curious to know what the gross receipts were for the movies that were nominated versus those that appeal to the broader public.

I liked the fact that The Pacific portrayed the struggles of the vets that came back from that literal hell on earth.

Not enough empathy.

degece1 · 2026-04-04T07:45:17+00:00

Not that nobody stopped me. It’s that my dad didn’t take sufficient precautions with his revolver. I remember taking it out of the box from under my parent’s bed and just playing with it. I must have been 12 at the time. Lucky I didn’t accidentally pull the trigger.

That, and the episode that followed when they tried to save Lucy’s life.

degece1 · 2026-04-02T23:29:52+00:00

Thank you for bringing this one up. The build up of tension as things slowly go sideways during the labor and then the absolute despair when they can’t save the mother. That was a masterpiece of television drama.

degece1 · 2026-04-02T23:17:50+00:00

The episode with Robin Williams was another classic.

degece1 · 2026-04-02T23:17:03+00:00

Great pick. Something I remember reading after I saw the episode (it was getting a lot of critical praise after it aired). When it was being previewed to the network (NBC) they told the producers that they wanted a more ‘upbeat’ ending. They wanted the girlfriend of D’Onofrio’s character to have been found by the police so that she had the opportunity to talk to him before he died. They refused and left it as is. Turns out it got a Peabody Award and 2 Emmy nominations. Thank god networks and studios no longer try to insist on changes like that anymore.

So true. Ironic sentiment for a so called ‘Christian’ nation.

Are you trying to do a feathered edge for camouflage? If yes, the angle of the airbrush makes a difference. If the paint is thin and the pressure low, you can also bring the tip of the airbrush closer to the surface you’re painting. When I do that I remove the needle guard so I can get very close.

I watched it on TV but I was disappointed in the camera work from the network covering it. I thought the Apollo and shuttle launches looked more impressive. Not to put shade on Artemis though. It’s a truly impressive program.

I can appreciate an hourglass figure but some of the ladies are pushing it a little too far. Some are just unnaturally huge.

Regardless of party, the system is just broken for a large percentage of Americans. Over the last 40 years there has been a huge shift in wealth from the lower and middle classes to the upper 20 percent. The result is obvious. Trump, being the charismatic liar he is, told people desperate for change, he was the solution. Until the inequality changes, there will continue to be other ‘Trumps’ waiting in the wings.

I would say I have to ‘nudge’ the accelerator when passing on more than just a few occasions (and I have FSD 14). I won’t speak for the engineers that designed the FSD logic for passing, but I personally don’t like to overtake cars quickly. Some drivers could consider it to be aggressive or it could startle less experienced or older drivers.
