June 4, Fox Theater "Field of Dreams"

[Vettezuki]

Alright ya'lls, who wants to go see "Field of Dreams" at a drive in experience in downtown Fullerton?

Click here (http://motorgen.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1202&day=2009-6-4&c=1) for the event.

It's not on their event calendar, but here's the Fox Fullerton site (http://www.foxfullerton.org/).

Field of Dreams, Movies On The Fox, Thursday, June 4, 2009, 7:30 p.m. The evening's program will begin at about 7:30 p.m., with the main feature beginning about 8:00 p.m. Parental Warning: The movie is rated PG.

"If you build it, he will come." That's the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, "he" seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), who materializes on the ball field and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, one of which is "Ease his pain." He realizes that his ball field has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives.

That "magical" field in Dyersville, Iowa still draws thousands of baseball-happy tourists each year. Field of Dreams was released in 1989, and has a running time of 1 hour and 47 minutes.

As always, Movies On The Fox are presented free of charge. Dress warmly. Bring your own chairs or blankets and join us in the parking lot behind the Fox Fullerton Theatre located on the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Chapman Avenue in downtown Fullerton. Concession snack and beverage sales will be available.

You are correct sir. For some reason I had Bull Durham floating in my mind when I read Field of Dreams. So let's just make it "a great baseball movie." ;)

That's what my calendar says. :p

It just seemed odd to be held on a thursday, that is all.

It's because it's using up a parking lot in a restaurant area. Friday and Saturday night are their big business nights, and the drive-in action doesn't bring in any scratch for them.

This is just on their schedule, nothing I did. They didn't answer my email inquiry a couple months back and I haven't had the time to go into their office and compel them with my charming personality yet. :)

See OP for some details. Like I said, I haven't been to one of these, so I don't know how they go down. If you're sensitive to the cold, COME PREPARED. Also bring folding chairs if you have them. It seems it's pretty much a hangout in the Parking Lot. :huh:

Lakers game on tonight sorry no can do.

So how did it go???:huh:

It was pretty cool. Better than I expected really. The sound was run through a good PA and they had a highly quality projector so the experience was very comparable and in a way better than a drive-in. The parking lot is obviously not big enough for hundreds of cars, so you bring your own chairs and/or blankets and flake out. There were probably something like 150-200 people. I love "Field of Dreams" so it was nice for me. But that movie is probably a little dark (I mean literally nighttime scenes) and somewhat quiet/somber so probably not the ideal movie for the experience. Something like Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run etc. would be a hoot.

Downtown Fullerton is a lot of fun. There are many places to eat and drink, from larger more commercial places, to sports bars, to semi-fine dining, to little holes in the wall. Great! There's a Sushi place I've seen down there, but always looked a little skanky from the outside. Last night I took a peek inside and it actually looks pretty legit, real Japanese style (or as close as we're going to get in OC); not a made for whitey by Koreans kind of place. I might give it a whirl next time I go.

So in short, I'm going to see if I can persuade them to show a car flick, maybe later in the summer.
