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?

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.

Possibly that is the reason. But i think 3-4 weeks is a bit much.
If you want to draw a crowd show it 2 weeks change and thing bring it back. Crowd is looking to find it by then.
Which that is just me.
I have only been in management for 20 some years. But i know a little on how to keep people coming.
You burn them out. They don't come back to fast.
I've seen that happen at Blackwood very often.
Maybe your correct.
As far as me and the pissy part.
Well that is just me. I say what i think. I don't play up to the masses or the crowds.
It sometimes makes me popular on here and sometimes it makes me unpopular.
But you know at my age i learned one thing.
Like me or hate. I'm gonna say what i think.
To those who are new or those who have been here as long or longer than me.
That is just me.

starbuck. Just wanted to say an apology. After the other day. I was just in the mood to jump to quick. Hope it did no damage.
I know sometimes what happens away from here we can bring here. Sometimes like work, we don't need to but it can spill over.
Again. Sorry if what i said was a bit much. Just had a lot on my mind and was a little quick with everyone. Had to apologize to several.

this week we have
YOU, ME AND DUPREE

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)
