For various reasons I really don’t care to run any of the trailers currently making the blog circuit. Besides, the issue on my mind right now is, given a number of things I need to do and watch, whether or not I have time tonight to go to a vintage drive-in movie theater tonight some 30+ miles away from my house.
As I ponder, let’s enjoy these vintage intermission promos from mid-century drive-ins. After we get past the ads touting buttery popcorn (more like butter-soaked popcorn), coffee (always good thinking at the movies, if you ask me), and, of course, cigarettes (hey, they were outside anyway). Also check out the ads touting the new rating system and the evils of daylight savings! (I and Jason Zingale agree with drive-in owners on that.)
Who knew that 16 and 17 year-olds could watch X-rated movies between 1968 and 1970, at least in some areas. Must have been interesting.
