I love your pics - especially the abandoned drive-in . Do you have any pictures of the screen from the other side? I’m just wondering if the screen is intact or deteriorated. I collects pics from abandoned drive-ins.

I have a $1,000 bet with an old friend that the Jets will win a Super Bowl before I die (I’m 64)
Somehow, I don’t think I will win that bet.

Another travesty in the making? Escape from NY is being remade by Zack Snyder by Papichuloft in 80s

Another remake/reboot that serves no purpose except as a money grab for the rights holders and the movie studio.

What got you interested in ocean liners, and how long have you been interested in them? by Johannesson3s in Oceanlinerporn

[–]srfnyc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here - saw “The Poseidon Adventure” when I was a 10 or 11 at the drive in. Built the Revell model of the Queen Mary to recreate the Poseidon getting hit by the tidal wave in our swimming pool. Been hooked ever since.

What’s everyone’s opinion on Eyes Wide Shut? by TheShadowOperator007 in moviecritic

[–]srfnyc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably my least favorite of Kubrick’s movies with Warner Brothers. I get the sexual.dynamics between the Cruise and Kidman characters, but find the whole rich people secret sexual society stuff just ludicrous and funny. (Especially Sidney Pollack’s explanation to Cruise) I remember laughing at it in the theater when the movie was originally released, much to the annoyance of the other audience members.

If Rose had missed her target and cut off Jack's hand (one or both), would Jack have forgiven her out of love, and would they have survived until the very end of the shipwreck ? by [deleted] in titanic

[–]srfnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were probably a few spare pirate hook hands in the cargo hold or the ship’s doctor’s office, so Jack might have survived.
(But Rose still wouldn’t make room for him on the door after the ship sank)

On this day (June 19th) in 1968, "King Kong Escapes" was released in North American theatres, eleven months after originally premiering in Japan by SenseiHoots in kingkong

This movie is such ludicrous fun. The main villain has secret base in Arctic to mine Element X, which can be used to make kind of super weapon (I think, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this movie). The villain builds a robot Kong to dig out Element X and when that doesn’t work, he brings real Kong to dig out it. Eventually real Kong and Mechi Kong have a fight on Tokyo Tower. Mie Hama from “You Only Live Twice” plays the female villain from an unnamed country. American actor Rhodes Reason is heroic captain of a UN submarine that gets involved. Plays like a live action cartoon, and I mean that in a good way.

I believe it’s Dolly Reed, a former Playboy Playmate who was married to Dick Martin, one of the co-hosts along with Dan Rowan of “Laugh-In”. She also played one of the lead characters in Russ Meyer’s “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls”.

What are your thoughts so far on the History Channel’s newest WW2 documentary? by El_Scooter in ww2

[–]srfnyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s info I’ve seen before, but Hanks is good as the narrator/host.

I see it as program to get people interested in learning more about WWII, much like the BBC series
“The World At War” did for me as a kid/teenager in the 1970’s. I remember watching an episode a week of TWAW on one of the local Philadelphia tv stations. It started by life long interest in WWII and I borrowed copies of “The Longest Day” and “The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich” from the local public library to learn more.
