Welcome to the future.:Kaleun_Wink:

Providing decent entertainment to bored suicide bombers with nothing to live for might be a cost effective way to reduce terrorism.

"We want you to blow yourself up tomorrow!"

"But, but I'll miss the last episode of TBBT." :D

Or they watch special nights with complete seasons of The Walking Dead... :D

Now that Prince Bin Sultan has also announced women driver privileges will they mingle their cinematic pleasure...with drive in theaters?!. Don't bother nockin' if that Mercedes is rockin'...BBY!:doh: And just for GoldenRivet: Possibly a fly-in theater for oil sheiks in their Lear jets or Cessna 172's!
https://timedotcom.files.wordpress.c...ality=85&w=719 I used to guard one of these in Oakland. You wouldn't belive how many time people would sneak in their 4-5 kids in the trunk: "defrauding an innkeeper'. The giveaway was the tail end of the car riding a 'little low' on the shocks.... http://timedotcom.files.wordpress.co...ie_1.jpg?w=640
:()1:You suppose they'll feature The Ten Commandments or Kingdom of HEAVEN and serve brews and dogs with popcorn!:nope: JEEZE! They even used to feature X-rated at the old Sonomarin Drive-in along HW 101 at Petaluma CA. Hunter S. Thompson mentions this drive-in in the article "A Clean, Ill-lighted place" in his book "Generation of Swine".:yeah::Kaleun_Crying:sadly it was demolished in 1991....

Petting teenagers in the last back row of the cinemas.

Okay, maybe not.

Heavy censorship comes to mind, a black screen.

Not quite an "all" black screen. Never did notice that the bottom wording kinda looks like "all Jews dies". :hmmm:

More likely a green one.

The audience then can shoot its own movie. :D

Once the movie dropped dead, the shooting will stop again and neighbours will sigh in relief and go to sleep again.
