  • Dude, i went to a drive in to seethe second transformers movie AND Star Trek in the same night!!! We could totally hang

  • All my life and I've never been to a Drive-In Movie. I'm so ashamed!

  • Hey, can we be movie buddies, "cause it ain't a movie till you suspend disbelief to the point you are shouting your head off at a person who is was recorded acting in an unreal situation with the intent of driving me crazy for that one moment of suspense" (is an insane run-on sentence)

    Anahu, I agree, except for the fact I need to go like 45 minutes out of town to see one. Also I can't legally drive. Legally.

    KNATE

    P.S. where is the sub button?

  • I wish we had a drive in just for the screen talking perks. I have been publicly shushed in a movie theater by strangers in the past. Embarrassing.

  • don't worry, i scream at the TV screen too. we can go to the drive in together :)

  • I agree with all your points. There's only one drive-in in my town and it is about 3 dollars more (which I don't appreciate) however, you do get 3 movies. (But you need to make sure you have lots of time and sleep caught up.)

    Also, I find it fun to go with large groups and to squish into a car. That's just something fun to experience.

    Love your videos.

  • This makes me want to go to a drive-in now ;3

  • HEREHERE! Quality video as usual (: And I honestly came out of it feeling so inspired to DO SOMETHING about this heart-shattering issue that plagues our nation

  • We don't have drive in (movie theatres) in Belgium

    And you convince me.

    But how does the volume control works? Do you tune in on your radio set?

    You did let out on big advantage of theatres, and that is Dolby surround sound.

    And two movies for the price of one. In the gaumant, theatre in antwerp they just let you walk out at the entrance of a screening room and walk into another one. And they display the movie played at the entrance.

    So watching one at eight and watching one at ten

  • @Mistifiedwolf The sound comes through the radio, so either in your car, or outside of it, you can adjust the volume on whatever radio you're using to listen. And I agree that surround sound is pretty awesome, and I'm not saying that theatres don't have their merits. Just that I prefer drive-ins. And that's cool! It makes me jealous.

  • Ooh, some people are an hours drive away, I am a four hour (estimated arrival time) plane ride away!

  • I definitely want to get my licence now just so I can go to a drive-in.

  • i have never been to a drive in, there arnt any where im from

  • I LOVE my local drive-in!

  • we dont have a single dive in movie place. mabey case i live in the U.P.

  • no drive-ins in NJ :(

  • We should watch movies together!! It would be AMAZING!!

    

  • Comment removed

  • I can't watch a movie with you then.

  • @WayhoRachel I understand.

  • I talk at the movie screen too. All of my friends yell at me for it ha. We could go to a drive in together xD

    Seriously though, I have another friend that talks at the movie screen as well and we went to a movie together which a bunch of our other friends and they all were sooo pissed at us by the end...

  • You are so funny, have my Children.

  • Yes! I went to one a few years ago, and I agree. It was way better than the theatre.

  • what are drive-ins? i'm really sorry about my ignorance

  • @lepainauchocolat No reason to be sorry. I think it's an American thing. They're basically giant outdoor movie theatres that show two movies back-to-back, instead of one. You sit in your car--or your bring chairs to sit BY your car, and the audio for whatever movie combination you choose is on a radio station, so all the sound comes through your car speakers or a little radio that you can buy when you pull in. They technically have concession stands, but most people bring their own snacks.

  • Holy cow by the end of the night I will have watched every single one of your video. You are a comical genius, and you are so logical. I must agree, drive in movies do kick ass.

  • @TheMiniB16 Thank you!

  • I'm Swedish. In Sweden, movies that are not in Swedish have Swedish subtitles. When I went to see the last Harry Potter movie, a woman and her son were sitting right behind me. The kid was clearly too young to even be there, considering he didn't know English and also couldn't read yet - which I know because I spent the entire movie listening to his mom reading the subtitles out loud.

  • @Kathadrion Oh my goodness...Did you punch that woman in the throat?

  • @LindseytheNerdiest No. I thought about it, but I'm too nice to punch people, even when they deserve it. I did try to shush her several times, but she ignored me.

  • @Kathadrion You probably made a wise decision. I mean, that whole "assault" thing might have come back to haunt you. What if you'd gotten removed from the theatre? THAT would have been a tragedy...But she did deserve it.

  • OMG. "Sacks of hormones"

    That is amazing!

  • We don't have drive in's.. I feel a bit left out to be honest, always wanted to go to one. Oh well :P

  • The other nice thing about drive-ins is, if you are like me, who has this annoying tendency to make snarky comments about the feasibility of things, or the motivations behind character actions, I can have those conversations with my fellow movie-goers, assuming they appreciate that kind of thing, without disturbing the rest of the theatre. Drive-in ticket prices are awesome because they usually gauge you at the concession.

  • @catastrophicclover Yeah. You're talking to the champ of snarky comments. I can't NOT say things like "Really, Michael Bay? We needed to knock over the same building THREE times while the characters were inside, and they aren't dead?" and "Running away in high heels? That's not real." Which is why I haven't been able to sit with my family at the movies since I was, like, thirteen.

  • The fact that I'm a movie talker always makes sitting next to someone I don't know so well incredibly awkward, because I still can't refrain from talking back to them! :P I love drive-ins so much. :)

  • @SkitzophrenicNerd I feel your pain.

  • I was under the impression that Vermont had some of the last of the few drive ins left. I loveee drive in movies.

  • @ThatHanniganfellow They're definitely endangered, but I've been in both Indiana and Arizona, so some of them are still fighting the good fight. It's good to know that Vermont's in the game, too.

  • @LindseytheNerdiest yea, If it's old, Vermont has it. Trees, drive ins, people... Sooo many old people.

  • I totally wish I could go to the drive-ins more often. But its an hour away and only open on the weekends. I love your videos!

  • Okay, i really want to go to a drive-in now.

  • So I heard you like comments

    . . . .

    if you read this in the voice of Xzibit you have a problem.

  • Bring all the snacks.

  • COMPLETELY agree with you about drive-ins. We used to have one in my hometown that my parents took me to all the time. I remember seeing my first PG-13 movie (Batman and Robin...man that Bane scene scared me for years)...there and it was just always such a fun experience! The closest one to me (being 45 minutes away) just closed down so now we are at a loss!

  • :( it's so unfair. I live in England where we don't have drive thrus. It's so annoying,especially since cinemas are sooooo expensive.

  • I ALWAYS talk to the movie too! XD

  • Hey, I'm a movie talker too! I always feel so bad about it, but I'm the WORST when I have another movie talker with me, because we'll talk ABOUT the movie together. I usually try to keep it down in the theater though.

    So now to look up drive-ins close to me...

  • @Kateydid3 I COMPLETELY understand that.

  • i have a drive in my town and ITS THE BEST THING EVER. as soon as i got my car i went every weekend =] agree 100% with everything.

  • I didn't even watch the video before I saw the title, said yeah they are! and clicked like.

  • @guitargrrl100 I can definitely get behind that action. Hahahaha.

  • . . .why is tonsil follicle a related video?!?!?!?

  • @Azami4117 Apparently mentioning that fourteen-year-olds lick each other's tonsils makes YouTube think that tonsils are the major subject matter that people are interested in. I'm just unnerved by the sheer NUMBER of real-life tonsil-related videos that people have made...

  • @LindseytheNerdiest hey, at least it's not giraffe sex XD

  • @Azami4117 That's real. Though giraffe sex--and tortoise sex--IS a little fascinating...Is that weird...?

  • @LindseytheNerdiest Hey, we decided to interpret all of the Emily Dickinson poems today in English sexually leading to a discussion/argument over how to say orgasm in French and settling on the fact that my English teacher is a closet pervert (which is why we love her), I've stopped defining things by weird XD

  • @Azami4117 I'm not sure that I've ever wanted to attend a stranger's English class so much in my life...

  • @LindseytheNerdiest I'm not sure I've ever wanted someone to attend my English class so much in my life XD That would be pretty amazing

  • For a long time now it has been a small dream of mine to have a full on Thanksgiving style turkey dinner at a drive in.

  • @Nerdfighter12 That. Is. Brilliant. I've brought homemade strombolis before, but that seems so lame compared to a full-on turkey...

  • I live near Lansing, in Michigan and the closest drive-in is in Coldwater, which is almost to the Indiana-Michigan border :( It's 66 miles.

  • After watching this, I immediately looked up my closest drive-ins.

  • My father used to work at a drive-in, so whenever I ask if we can go to the nearest one together (I can't drive yet), he gets really upset because he "never wants to see a drive-in again"

  • There haven't been any drive-ins in my hometown since the early 80s. We're so far north that if it's warm enough to GO to a drive-in movie, it doesn't get dark until at least 10 pm. Such a drag!

  • @erisedstraeh1 Sad day...

  • Pre-open your sweets during the adverts and then there's no problems.

  • @sophsincolour That, too, is a solid strategy.

  • I think a lot of places just can't have one because there's no rural area near by. When I was a kid we went all the time, but slowly it became less and less of a popular spot. At the time, I thought the reason was because the owners just didn't bother to keep the place nice. This was before they switched over to sending the audio over the radio, so they had speaker boxes next to the cars that were on the same level of suck as drive thru speakers. Ours was closed down for years.

  • Love your videos!! Keep it up!!

  • We actually have a drive-in movie theater the town where I go to college, but I've never gone. SO going now. And the whole time I'll be thinking about how it's waaaaaay better than the theater.

  • @anastasiafish So jealous! I wish I had one that close. And I'm glad you've seen the light. Hahahaha.

  • Velcro....candy....?

  • @OrgasmandTea They're just both loud. I promise I don't eat velcro.  Hahahaha.

  • There's a drive-in near where I used to live in Houston and we went a few times. I LOVED IT! I even sat on the roof of our car...until it started thundering...

    BUT I LOVE THEM :D

  • You're amazing. Seriously, no one other then my closest friends share as many opinions and interests with me as you do. All your new subscribers really enjoy your videos, keep it up (:

  • I've only gone to the drive-in once or twice (our cars at the time had shitty sound systems, so audio was a problem). But I drive past one on at least a twice weekly basis. I always like laughing at the often odd movie combonations. The best was when they had Rango with True Grit, I wonder what the mentality behind that combonations was (they're both westerns?).

  • @RatsRule Bahahahaha!  That's great, I think that kids generally fall asleep after the first movie, so a lot of the time cartoons and the like are paired with movies for their parents.

  • I just noticed you rarely blink.

  • lol you're like me at the movies. Most of the time i can't help myself from trying to give the characters some advice:)

  • So glad John Green pointed you out!

    You are articulate, smart, witty, and great fun to watch.

    SUBSCRIBED!

    And I'm totally pointing all my friends here. Keep up the good work lady!

  • @bwaychick22 Thank you so much!

  • I first saw Inception in a drive-in and it was freaking awesome. I guess it set such a high standard that I'm not impressed when I just watch it on TV. Anyway, awesome video!

  • It is so tragic that I've never been to a drive in movie. I didn't really care that much before this video, but now I'm just itching with excitement of going to one. Thank you!

  • I'm very thankful to John Green for pointing me here. You are smart, funny, cute and fun to watch. However, there is something to be said for being overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of a movie on the big screen. Sitting in the car adds a layer of insulation that reminds you of how unreal everything on the screen is.

  • @StorytimewithAlex I guess that's true, but in my case, I tend to get tunnel vision where movies are concerned--hence the talking to the screen--so I'm not sure that statement applies to me as much.

  • @StorytimewithAlex Also, thank you!

  • Since you mentioned tonsil licking, some of the suggested videos are of peoples tonsils.  Mostly they're being scraped. D: Please don't ever mention tonsils again.

  • @amayakumiko That is deeply unfortunate. I'll do my best. Hahahahaha.

  • @LindseytheNerdiest Well, this video helped me figure out what's been wrong with my tonsils for like 13 years! Darn those doctors for not removing them when i was ten. Bread my ass. Not to that extent oh god. But yes! So thankyou!

  • @shellfish1010 That's wonderful!

  • wow this is so cool. i now have to go to a drive-in. aqnd is it bad if i am 14 and have never had my first kiss?

  • @jackii0russo Not at all. I'm twenty, and I have never had an interest in dating.

  • I've only been a couple times, but it is for sure one of the BEST ways to spend a summer night! Especially in a van or truck with a bed, so you can watch under the stars...ugh! magical.

  • I have never been to one! But you make it sound really spectacular. I'll have to check it out sometime. 

  • They shut the one near me down about four years ago, but I helped my best friend win 50 bucks in a bet with his dad by kissing him while there!

  • I've only been to a drive-in movie once, and it was so awesome! The closest drive in theater to me is, like, an hour away. :(

  • Okay seriously now, this is one of my things that I rant about too. Drive-ins are totally the best!!! This one I used toi go to had a swing set under the screen. A SWING SET. Don't feel like watching trailers? I think I'll go for a swing! It kicks all kinds of ass.

  • @Frostbite02 If Nerdfighters were playground equipment, they would be swing sets. No question.

  • Sadly, I think it is economics that has made drive-ins so rare. A couple of those things that make it great for the consumer (low snack prices, especially, since that is where theaters make most of their money) make it not so great for the business.

    But they are definitely worlds better than the movie theater - provided you have at least a semi-nice car. :)

  • You're so right! and very funny, I think I have new favorite youtuber!

  • My first drive in experience was to see the 5th Harry Potter movie and Transformers (WHICH WAS EFFING AMAZING ON THAT HUGE SCREEN!!!)

    I'm a smart ass and will talk to the movies too, but it's was great because if people heard me, they laughed and agreed rather than shushed me lol

  • I've never beed to a drive-in, but isn't it usually kinda hard to see from so far away?

  • @gulp3sif You're not very far away at all, so no. You should definitely go if you can. It's something that can't be explained as well as it can be experienced.

  • I want to go to a drive innn D:

  • I absolutely LOVE the drive-in! :D There's one close-ish to where I live (well... lived, before I had to leave for college...), and also one close to my grandparent's house.

    I got to see the newest Harry Potter movie as a double-feature with the first half :3 *epic win*

  • @KayaSowle An epic win, indeed.

  • I went to a drive-in with my neighbor and her kid when we were little, I think to see Jaws, and haven't been back since! Really need to find one in the area.

    Love this!

  • I totally agree! But I will have to take your word for it. I've never been to a drive in. :(

  • I talk through the movies too! except I don't (usually) talk to the screen. Instead I tend to whisper jokes into my friends ears as we watch. I can't help mocking the movie! even if its one I love. This means I have to sit next to people who know and love me, and don't mind being interrupted during key movie moments (even by my hilarious commentary). I want to go to a drive in - but I'm not sure they exist in england.

  • i thought drive-ins ceased to exist about 10 years ago...

    i must find one!

  • @LindseytheNerdiest - maybe the related videos are about tonsils because they just HAPPENED to catch that bit where you were talking about piles of hormones licking each other's tonsils. don't ask me how they do that. it's scary. also, i love your videos. and i LOVE the drive in. i don't know why i don't go more often. WAIT it's because the closest one is an HOUR away. thank you for your video!

  • @clownfish000 ...That would make more sense. Hahahaha. But I don't think I tagged the word "tonsil," so it's still a little weird. And thank YOU!

  • @clownfish000 ...That would make more sense. Hahahaha. But I don't think I tagged the word "tonsil," so it's still a little weird. And thank YOU!

  • thanks for sharing! support! especially since most drive-ins are dying. Why is it that drive-ins are so much more fun yet they are forced to become extinct? =[

  • This video leaves me with one question. WHY DO I LIVE IN THE UK?!

  • I have a drive in really close to me! I go to them all the time :P We have one about 20 minutes away and another about and hour away.

    WHERE DO YOU LIVE?! We need to be best friends! :D

  • I love my drive in :) Unfortunately I am among those people who have to drive for thirty minutes down the freeway to get there... Still, it is very very worth it

  • I'd love to go to a drive-in movie.

    I always get reminded of things that have absolutely nothing to do with what we're watching and need to tell someone.

    It'd be so much easier if I could annoy only my movie buddy instead of everyone else in the theater.

  • @alymarcas Me too! And I can only restrain myself if I'm super-motivated. My favorite is when you're screaming into your buddy's ear during a preview, but then it cuts off and everyone in the theatre can hear you.

  • It saddens me, that we have no Drive-Ins.

  • My town has one of the last drive-ins in the US

    YES

  • "Little sacks of hormones" DFTBA.

  • Drive-ins are the best! I haven't been able to drag myself to a movie theater since going to the drive-in over the summer. I wish the drive-in were close enough, or there were more of them... (I would just assume that if more drive-ins existed, then there might be more options for what to see...)

    I really like just seeing movies at home or at a friend's house though... Same pros apply as with drive-ins, except the screen is smaller and you have to wait until you can buy the movies.

  • @LaLaLaDieNow But at least then you get the added bonus of a blanket fort.

  • Drive-ins are awesome if you have kids too. I usually spend the entire first movie trying to convince my kids to fall asleep in the back seat so that I can stay for the second (often more adult and completely inappropriate for youngins). Sometimes we stay and sometimes not, but at least we don't have to get a sitter!

  • You are hilarious. DFTBA!

  • haha i have that same blouse, got it from Kohls! :) Nice vid!

  • Whenever I hear about drive-ins I always think of the scooby doo werewolf movie

  • One of my goals in life is to go to a old school drive-in. yes, I'm aiming high, aren't i?

  • @br3sh33 Hey, at least it's a goal that's definitely attainable.

  • @LindseytheNerdiest not around where I live :'(

  • I freaking love you. You have good points there! Oh and sometimes you pay per car, so that means it there's 9 people in your car, you only pay for less that $10! Yay for saving money!

  • I've never been to a drive-in. D: This makes me want to go so bad!

  • i wish there was a drive in near where i live :( i don't think there's one within a reasonable driving distance

    (random note: pretty much all the "related videos" off to the side are all about tonsils and have pictures of the backs of people's throats....ew 0.o )

  • @geekwidacomputer ...I'm not really sure why that is...Maybe "PWNS" is also the short version of a tonsil disease...? I'm also not sure why that makes me feel so much cooler...

  • Supernerd. Does that file under Nerdfighter, or is it in it's own unique category?

  • @OceausPhoenix I'd say it's a definite branch of "Nerdfighter."

  • This makes me wish I had a drive-in close to me. TO GOOGLE I GO.

  • I have a drive-in 3 mins away from my house but i don't like it. I live in Florida it's hot and there is mosquitoes. It gets to be very unfun.

  • Why are there so many videos about tonsils in the suggestions? Oh yeah. Thank god my little almost-fourteen year old brother is still repulsed by girls and cooties.

  • I have always wished to go see a drive in but i can never find one its super sad. especially since you make it sounds so awesome! grr...

  • I agree! There are no drive-ins where I live, but I spent last summer in Utah, and went twice to a drive-in there with some friends. On Sundays, the cost was only $12 per car, so I went with three friends and we paid $3 each to see two newly released movies, while eating pizza we had picked up from Dominoes. It was awesome!

  • Man, I wish we had drive-ins here... that would be sweet!

  • I've never seen a drive-in cinema in England... I don't think we have them :(

    They sound awesome though...

  • @metronome23 Sad day...But you do have a lot of awesome English things that we don't have in America, so maybe it's only fair.

  • i agree i love drive-ining :D
