What is on at the Drive-In

I would like to keep this updated each week with what is playing at the Central Drive-In.

this weekend:
Cars
Pirates of the Carribbean

Good idea. But you can also go to http://www.gotricities.com/movies/ for the drive in and all local theaters. Only issue with them is they don't change the page until late Thur/early Fri of each week. So posting it here by Wed or Thur would definitely be quicker.

If anyone goes let me know how the crowd is.

Just got back, crowd was very large. One of the biggest I've seen. Business seems to be very good. Food was great as always but I didn't really care too much for Pirates of the Carribbean.

this weekend it will be

SUPERMAN RETURNS
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2

I didn't really care that much for Pirates 2.
First one was ok. Little over kill now i think for it at the Drive in. What is this the third week it's being held over.

overkill? I would say not. It is still the #1 movie in America and has been a huge draw for the drive-in. I have not seen it this crowded back to back since I was a kid.

Well starbuck honestly seems like lately anything i say you seem to have a reply and kinda pissy toward me.
But yeah three weeks held over at a drive in is a bit over kill.
I love the drive in. Frequent it as often as i can. But come on. Three weeks of one movie. Even that is a bit of overkill.
It's decent but not that great of a movie much like any other sequel.
Even you would have to admit that.
I can see two weekends but three?

Looking back at the Drive-In's previous years, though, the films have been pretty lackluster.

This year they've been putting on a pounding... tons of great movies. Was going to go there Sunday, actually, but didn't feel like it so I put it off.

Hell, look at what's coming this weekend -- Superman and Pirates 2. Imagine how much THIS roundup will get.

Pirates of the Caribbean looks pretty cool, but I never cared much for the first one and just really don't see what all the fuss is about. Cars looked pretty cool, though. Pixar never fails to make great films for everyone.

(Just my personal opinions -- do not get upset if you disagree, please)

I hate you feel that way, it was not meant tha way. I was just trying to state that when you have the #1 movie out and you are pulling in the cars they are right now you ride the horse till it has run it's course. I personaly would like to go this weekend and see Superman and something new but they are business to make money and Pirates is making that money. Plus it is very possible if not probable that to get the movie opening day they had to agree to keep it for "X" amount's of weeks.
