The lack of the speakers is the only giveaway that this is a contemporary photo.

I hate these movies. I think they've done immeasurable damage to car culture. 

Car culture does this just fine on its own...

I loved the movie.  Was I expending hyper-realism?  Nah.  But what I got was probably the most self aware F&F movie yet, and I loved it.  You could tell they were having fun with it, and in the end, isn't that the point?

Nowadays you gotta tune into 89.3 for screen 1 and 97.3 for screen 2.  We are in the habit of packing chairs and a radio.  Sitting in the car you miss a lot of the "live show" of people watching. Plus its easier to tweak your viewing position based on giant SUV parking.

The second movie is Rocky Horror.

 

 

I would shoot myself in the face if I were forced to be there.  Triple feature it up with Easy Rider and I wouldn't even have to shoot myself, my brains would just exit my head trying to escape.

Magic cars?! It's just big magnets.

If you haven't seen the trailer for "KAREN" yet, that may be more contrived.

Just went to see it.  I laughed so hard my abs hurt by the end.  It was hilariously absurd and catastrophically bad.  It felt like a Michael Bay movie with continent spanning leaps of scenery with no explanation of how they got there or how they knew where to go.
