i don't care, i'm going anyway
Well, it looks like the Vali-Hi Drive In really will open this Friday. The good news: they haven't raised the price. It's still $7.50 for a triple feature, such as it is. That brings me to the bad news.....
Ugh.
This is what they're showing this weekend, in this order:
I was really hoping for Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Why, Vali-Hi, why???
But it's in the 60's today, and I can smell summer. Even a night of trash cinema can't bring me down.
Ugh.
This is what they're showing this weekend, in this order:
- The Forbidden Kingdom - 73% Tomatometer - All right, it might be fun to see Jackie Chan sporting sick dreadies like mine.
- Superhero Movie! - 15% Tomatometer - Yeah. The Leslie Nielsen one. Ick.
- Never Back Down - 26% Tomatometer - They should be paying me to watch this dreck.

Hi, thanks for the welcome to LAMB, it's nice being part of blogging fraternity.
I'm so jealous, even if the films are a little rubbish, at least you have sun and wine. England isn't a picnic right now, so your blog is the closest I've been to sun in some while.
Have a good time and thanks again for the welcome

In general, when they have to remind you that you're watching a 'movie' in the title, it's not a good sign. The only exceptions I can think of would be TV shows that become movies or maybe a movie that's about a movie.

With a crap start like this, the season can only get better! It will be fun just for the venue .... enjoy!

"I was really hoping for Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Why, Vali-Hi, why???"
I think drive-ins get new releases a week late (at least). Not that it's some rule, just what I've noticed...
Enjoy the crapfest. ;)

Ibetolis... it's great to have you! I'm not sure about the sun, but there will be wine... oh yes, there will be wine.
Chris... Word.
Linda... I said a long time ago that I'd go no matter what they were showing. Sounds like the movie gods decided to make me eat my words.
1minute... thanks! and you're welcome.
Fletch... I know I've seen movies at the Vali-Hi the day they opened... but they have been postponing their opening week after week, so that's probably why our movies are a bit aged.

Hotdogs, yummm.

I think bad movies are more fun at the drive-in. You'll have to post afterwards and let us know how it was.

Dude, The Forbidden Kingdom was freakin awesome. It'd be awesome to see it at a drive-in.
