Drive In Drive By Flicks

[Duncan Edwards]

There were some great movies at the Bel-Air drive in back in the day. A pity they were lost to time before we could capture them.

Would you believe that in the city of Marshall, 16 miles from here, there i STILL an operating drive in theater?

Yet another amazing coincidence - Not only are Studio 588 and Camp MPV roughly the same distance from a major city, it's about the same distance to the drive in nearest Camp MPV as well. Not kidding.

Looks like fun. We don't have drive ins where I am, too much mizzle! The screen wouldn't be very visible and you'd need to keep your wipers on.

I think I was about 17 the last time I went to a drive in, but then I don't go to regular theaters much either. The one in Marshall is actually open this time of year, at least on weekends. Most nights you'd have to run the car heater. For the benefit of rental guests, however, I do have a list of potential attractions in the area, and that theater is on it.

A cultural epic that explores and explains the exploitation of American Indians - How High Heaven? How Deep the Swamp? 1972
It starred stunning new comer Koko Steinmetz as Princess Hotwater of the Teton tribe. Her portrayal was hailed by critics as "slightly better than wooden". She came to an early retirement to manage a 24 hr market and marry her manager with whom she raised four children.

This one is "almost" plausible, to the extent that I googled Koko Steinmetz to see if she existed. What I found was an Album by Koko Taylor, engineered by Chris Steinmetz. I guess I now know a bit about your musical tastes that I didn't know before, and I approve, Koko Taylor's good. You used a real name in the first one, Suzy Kendall, she's 86 now, I think that's what created the uncertainty.

There are some genuine film titles that lend themselves to this kind of misuse:

The Adventures of Pricilla, Queen of the Desert
A Series of Unfortunate Events

But there are some where you' think "why?", probably best to steer clear of those:
How to get a man's foot out of your ass
Things to do in Denver when you are dead
Someday this pain will be useful to you
Went to Coney Island on a mission from God ... be back by five

I can't believe these last four actually got made!

I like the critics opinion on her acting, that's close to one from the UK Times on the film "Deadly Weapons" starring Chesty Morgan (famed, if that's the right word, for her 72 inch bust). The review started "Chesty Morgan, what can she actually do? Well, with a little help, she can sit up."

those are some Grand Tetons

(and that is actually the derivation of that name)

You could give J. K. Rowling a run for the money with word play.

You did misquote the critic though. He is thought to have written "Koko Steinmetz will make your wood more than slightly better"

I had no idea. Suzy came from an attractive blonde I knew in college. It was a much more popular name back in the day. No idea where the Koko came from but borrowed the Steinmetz from a character that Buddy Hackett played in a Disney movie. As for Chesty Morgan, I used to see her in newspaper ads when she appeared at the local Gentlemen's entertainment venues. Apparently Heaven was working overtime one night.

Purely coincidence.

We had one local drive in and one night my friends and I put two free admissions in the spacious trunk of my '69 Ford LTD. The feature was a semi-documentary titled Dirt about off road racing. I'd kind of forgotten about it until now.

I think Ms. Rowling and I both learned from Ian Fleming. I'm sure Ms. Steinmetz knew most critics spent little time in the lumberyard anyway.

Regarding this nonsense, it's all what you might get if you put a lot of bad movies, Quentin Tarantino, and Pete Boggs in a blender. Much of Pete's less known work was put together like this but the illustrations came from his talented pencils rather than AI. It's intended as a gentle and unworthy tribute to his genius.
