...The One-Minute Pundit

Saturday, August 16, 2008


If there's one proof of our loss of cultural diversity it's in the continuing near-death experience of the drive-in movie house. Such venues were perfect for certain features -- the bloated CinemaScope spectacles of the fifties, sci-fi, second-string animations, Don Knotts comedies. They united families. With (as A. O. has to have told us) movies being BETTER THAN EVER!!!!! one can't imagine a suitable flick for a drive-in anymore, and that nearly as much as development may explain why it all but died off -- but a few stirring specimens do seem to remain, testimony that there is sometimes truth to nostalgia.
