    The big problem with drive-ins is that it doesn't really get dark enough to see the movie as it should be seen.

    But I remember going to them, and loving it. *sigh*

    Once the dome inhabitants started going full-on apeshit on each other, it would quickly become more interesting to watch than the movie.

    I can't decide if this is a flaw or an advantage.

    That's only those drive-ins in the city. The one near where I live in Warwick, NY is in the middle of the woods. It gets nice and dark out there.

    There's still one drive-in movie theater in the St. Louis area, over on the Illinois side. 2 screens, double-features on both. $10 per adult, but each adult gets two free kids admissions (12 & under), and if you're crazy enough to bring more than 2 kids per adult, the extra ones are only $3 each.

    Doesn't anyone want to speak up in defense of those poor, oppressed dome-dwellers? Nobody want to argue for the freedom to bring a shrieking baby and several loud mobile devices to the theater?

    How are they oppressed? Free Mountain Dew and Popcorn slurry constantly being poured in? I bet those people are in trash heaven.
