Ms. Brugger and I had the fun night at the
Eden Drive-in. Burgers! Fries! Wine!
Solo! Deadpool 2! Plus a bit of water from the sky, a nice rainbow, and a gorgeous sunset. Happily, it did not rain during the movies. Sadly, the drive-in now runs 20 bloody minutes of commercials before the movie starts, which taxes my patience and makes the already late finishing time
very late — as in
2:30 in the
a.m. late. Regardless, going to the drive-in remains a treat, and we both really enjoyed the movies. I just don't get the hate for
Solo. It's damn good fun and fits comfortably in the
Star Wars canon. It is fucking
entertainment, for chrissakes. Its worst moments are 10,000 times better than the best moments of
The Phantom Menace, and more flat-out fun than most of the more recent
Star Wars films.
Deadpool 2 was a hoot, mostly living up to its predecessor, which I also quite like. It's definitely
not a kids' film, though that did not stop a score or so of the locals from bringing their young ones.
All things considered, especially considering the dearth of drive-in theaters these days, I'm mighty glad to have one reasonably nearby, and whatever its pitfalls, I'll suffer them for the overall joy of the experience.
