Best 3 out of 5 at the Bengies

May 31st, the Bengies Drive-in had 3 of the top 5 movies in the country. Even though I'd seen Indiana Jones, as well as Iron Man, I went back for a second look, and a first look at Speed Racer. I made it through a little after 3:30, probably the second reel of Iron Man (after he drops through his garage roof and gets extinguished).

I put out Tweets, but hashtags.org/tag/bengies isn't seeing them, so here are my inline movie, cartoon, and trailer commentaries.

• whats opera doc - 1957!
• second intermission - original star wars trailer at #bengies
• one thing you don't see at indoor theaters is helicopter searchlights.
• water water every hare - bugs - 1950 #bengies
• favorite scene in Speed Racer - Susan Sarandon making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the Racer family - at the #bengies
• show starts at #bengies with Speed Racer. Now.
• 1957 Knighty Knight Bugs toon. saw it last time I was at #bengies but bugs is bugs
• sunset at the #bengies and the place is packed. dragonfly just flew over, good omen I think.
• sitting in comfy adirondack chair near #bengies snack bar. some people don't like to follow rules. I sympathize, but am with mgmt on this 1.
• reading Colin Fletcher's "River", waiting for twilight time at the #bengies - sun behind the screen.
• row 5 at the #bengies - skies clearing. great drivein night: remembered the DEET.
• Going to the #bengies tonight to see Speed Racer/Indy/Iron Man. 3 of the top 5 movies, in widescreen. Don't care if it rains; beats home TV

(this way I can fix my typos)
