It is real. It is part of FALL FRENZY: A Celebration of Gay Life. I picked up this advertising card at an art event on 9/13.

Some fun, mildly cheeseball things like "Thank God It's Friday" would be great for that venue. Or even over-the-top stuff that's hard to take seriously like "Midnight Express" to enjoy that distance that drive-ins give you from dramas, everybody would hoot. "Gay Drive-In" sounds like it could have been the name of a real drive-in back in the 50s or 60s!  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA...

Registered: Aug 1999 posted 09-15-2003 07:21 AM                     "Mommie Dearest" would be a scream at this event!  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-15-2003 08:38 AM                     I was only about 8 or so when MOMMIE DEAREST was released and I remember thinking of it as a horror film until I saw it again in a film class at USC and I was laughing my ass off. Trouble was that I was pretty much alone in thinking it was a comedy. All the other 400 students were watching in respectful silence. Discussion period was interesting after that movie.  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

It's a sign of the times.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-15-2003 03:33 PM                     Yeah! These human rights people should all be thrown in the dungeon until Caesar calls for them to fight the lions. I wish they'd release My Own Private Idaho on DVD already. That's the film that got me interested in the independent/art house thing.  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 09-16-2003 02:40 AM                     I disagree. "Hedwig" and "Mommie Dearest" need to be seen in a crowded theatre, not in a car! Danny  |  IP: Logged
