Guerrilla Drive-Ins
An anonymous reader submits "A NY Times story yesterday talked about a new fad sweeping the underground: guerrilla drive-ins. Essentially, someone sets up a DVD player, LCD projector, and wireless transmitter next to any blank wall (preferably on someone else's property - to make it more fun), and people come to watch movies. As you would expect, the movie studios aren't too thrilled." The idea that this is a notable fad reminds of when the residents of Doonesbury's Walden jokingly informed intrepid reporter Roland Burton Hedley, Jr. ("Rollie") about imaginary trends in the college drug scene. On the other hand, anything that knocks down the price of projectors is fine with me!
Drive about 30' behind a semi....now thats road trippin'
Hurmph. When I was a kid, we watched shadows on cave walls and we LIKED it.
It's done best with the Yatta video
Che would be proud of all us guerilla drive-in commandos.
If you have to ask, you'll never know.
I heard a rumor that people who lose their licenses are still physically able to turn on and operate vehicles. If that's true, then I suppose it's possible that an LCD projector could project an image against the intentions of the studios.
what next, televisions with IR cameras and computer vision software that demand a DVD be inserted by each person in the room before playing?
You may want to patent that...shit, then at least no one else could use it
As an alternative. Would Frank get in trouble for his watching movies with his friends on his 2000" TV (IIRC approx. the size of a Drive-in movie theater screen, or so I was told by a friend), that can be seen from 7 blocks away?
