Starlight

Aggressive, unchecked nostalgia can be truly repugnant, and at the very worst - a waste of time. I am as guilty as any male born in the 20th century, but I try to pull back when it gets out of hand. but sometimes I just give in - especially with sweet, sweet images from the swirling sea of the internet.

The American Drive-In was pretty much a weird phenomenon that was all but finished before my time, being a relic of the 50's 60's and 70's. My first movie-going memory was of seeing a film at the age of 3 at the Pine Drive-In in Roseburg, so there's the beginning. Then starting right at the serious decline and eradication of Drive-In theaters in the early 90's, my friends and I spent endless showings at the Starlight Drive-In, just south of Roseburg. Weekends, summers and some weekday evenings as a teen were spent there. Drug and alcohol free even. Good clean fun.

The place closed it's doors in 1997 after I had got the heck out of Dodge anyway, but there are several online websites run by obsessed Baby Boomers eulogizing the lost Drive-In Theater. I have tracked down the Pine-Drive In and my beloved Starlight, where my current wife (who you all know and love) and I watched Pulp Fiction and Interview with the Vampire about 17 times among other questionable 90's movies. You haven't REALLY seen Clueless until it's on a 40 foot screen.

I realize the number of people who care about this is very limited,
much like everything I post that isn't a baby picture.
