I went to see Dungeons & Dragons with my 21 year old. A delightful witty comedy with a minimum of bad words. It’s doing very well. When awards season comes movies like these, that people actually enjoy and don’t beat them over the head with political messages, don’t have a chance

I just want to be entertained and have a box of movie theater popcorn that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg

I went to the Blue Fox Drive-In Theater and saw both “Super Mario Bros” and “Dungeons and Dragons.” The evening opened up with the “Star Spangled Banner,” and everyone flashing their headlights in tribute. Both made for an incredible night.

There’s a movie recently on Prime……it’s a Western that represents the good and evil in man……..
I only remember one ‘bad’ word…..although there are many conflicted and unsavory characters and somewhat graphic frames…….( not sexual!….like movies of old, some scenes are left to the imagination)

It truly represents ‘evil deeds have consequences’….but is also a bittersweet love story

I really hesitate to recommend movies nowadays……but this one checked a lot of boxes, perhaps because of the excellent acting by the two main characters…and the intelligent prose if the writer.

…but it truly has the most amazing tribute to Prolife I have ever seen
And this movie is getting critical acclaim and positive reviews

Went with the wife. It was a cute movie. No agendas or politics. Just a quick adventure movie with a decent soundtrack and lots of nostalgia. It was a nice escape from the absurdity in the world.

Do you happen to remember the title of the movie you’re talking about?

“I went to the Blue Fox Drive-In Theater “

How did you get the movie’s sound in your car?

I don’t necessarily mind the price if there’s no indoctrination in the movie.

In the 1980s it took me a year and a half to rescue the Princess. No job...no trips outdoors...no showers...

Bowing to 15 yr old HS girls is a losing business model.

I listen to HD radio in my car...the sound quality is surprisingly good. If they broadcast in HD it might be OK.

“I listen to HD radio in my car..”

You’re saying that the drive-in theater broadcasts the soundtrack as a radio station, correct? Maybe I don’t know what HD radio is.

That's what our local drive-ins do.

HD radio vs. Analog radio

Some cars come with what's called "HD" radio. Many AM stations simulcast their programming on an HD station on FM...typically it's "100.7 HD2"...or something like that. My favorite AM station does that so I get their programming with surprisingly good audio quality.

But I don't know if drive in theaters have the ability to broadcast their sound in "HD".

That was along time ago
