Field of Screens: Drive-in theaters in San Diego
In the early 70's I lived in a second floor apartment on Acorn Street, with a straight on view of the Campus Drive In movie screen. So we watched all of the movies for free, from the comfort of our beach chairs on our front deck which overhung the back wall of the drive in. There were always a few cars parked in the very back of the drive in, near our deck. We'd ask them to turn up the volume of the speakers under our deck, so that we could hear the audio clearly. Everything was fine until the Bruce Lee movie, Enter the Dragon, came out. For some reason, perhaps the popularity of the movie, the theatre ran the movie for weeks on end. After a dozen viewings I had most of the dialog memorized. Sometimes I'd practice my banjo out on our deck while watching the characters do their martial arts moves. Enter the Dragon was still playing there when It seemed to be time for me to move to a new apartment. I may have stayed longer if the Campus would have changed the movie. I still think of Bruce Lee's fight moves when I play my banjo.— February 19, 2021 10:33 a.m.
