Johnny Rockets, a chain restaurant whose specialty is heaping nostalgia with a side of burgers, wants you to watch movies like it’s 1959. The company has announced a partnership with USA Drive-ins to open Johnny Rockets drive-throughs with their drive-ins. Hit the jump for more on the Johnny Rockets drive-in plan.

BusinessWeek reports USA Drive-ins plans to open 200 drive-in theaters by 2018, many of which will have an accompanying Johnny Rockets drive-through. Moviegoers will be able to either walk up to the counter to get their food, or have it delivered to them in their cars. (“No carhops on roller skates, though,” notes BusinessWeek.) Each showing is expected to bring in 500 to 700 cars, totaling about 1,200 to 2,000 moviegoers.

At the height of the drive-in’s popularity in the late 1950s, there were about 4,000 theaters nationwide. Today, only about 300 remain. Some of that decline can be attributed to changes in technology such as the rise of the VCR, or simply to changing tastes. But there’s also the fact that drive-ins are seasonal by nature. They can’t do showings when it’s still light out, or when the weather is bad. At the same time, they take up a lot of space, so they can get pretty pricey to run.

The Johnny Rockets drive-ins have the advantage of being a restaurant first, however. “The drive-through is the cake, the drive-in [theater] is the icing,” said Johnny Rockets chief development officer James Walker. He expects the drive-through Johnny Rockets locations to do even better than the existing Johnny Rockets locations, which should go a long way toward the cost of running a drive-in theater. A single franchisee will own both the restaurant and the theater.

Drive-ins should be a perfect fit for Johnny Rockets’ retro style, but they should also appeal to modern audiences who want something a little different.  ”Drive-ins aren’t just about the movie, they’re about the whole experience,” said Walker. “You’re able to interact with each other more than you would in an enclosed theater.” As someone who hates theater talkers and texters, I would be so thrilled if people who wanted to do that stuff went to drive-ins instead of regular cinemas.

Tickets are definitely priced to compete with traditional theaters. Adults will pay about $6 to $7 for admission, while children will get in for $3 each. Plus, a Johnny Rockets bacon cheeseburger sounds way better than those plasticky prepackaged nachos or rubbery microwave pizzas you find at most movie theaters.

Today’s Special

Head on over to YouTube to watch this 26-minute long supercut that purports to be the ultimate compilation of every time Jackie Chan has put his health and physical safety in harm’s way instead of just hiring some dude in a wig do it. Which is an odd choice because getting hurt sucks and his hair isn’t even really complicated.

The post Supercut: Every Jackie Chan Stunt Ever appeared first on Screen Junkies.

Reblogging because the glow of this particular pumpkin appeals to me in ways that border on the sexual.

Funny thing about suicide: It’s not a mystery to be solved. When someone you know, or someone you admire, takes her own life, there’s always a temptation to rifle through your memories of that person, looking for some clue of what might happen. It’s not there — or, if it is, there’s usually no reason to think of it as a clue at the time. I once had a next-door neighbor, a guy I didn’t really know, who killed himself one afternoon while I was home on the other side of his living room wall. The street filled up with emergency vehicles, cops milled around outside and refused to answer questions, and the dead man’s loved ones walked in and and walked out in some hell-trance. The next morning, everything was gone, and the trash truck picked up the dead man’s garbage just like they picked up mine. This was someone I saw every day or two, someone who grilled outside a lot and had a really pleasant what’s-up wave. The news that he’d killed himself didn’t compute. But then, I didn’t know him, and I never will. It was the same with Kurt Cobain. Millions of us felt like we knew this guy. None of us did. Cobain recorded the live album MTV Unplugged In New York a few months before he died, and it came out a few months after. If you were of a certain age and disposition, you might’ve spent hours combing through the album, looking for some indication of what he was going through. Was that voice-crack on “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” a kind of involuntary musical suicide warning? Well, no. No, it wasn’t. And MTV Unplugged In New York wasn’t a road map to the end of Cobain’s life. It was, instead, an exceptional performance, beautifully recorded. And that was enough for all-time classic status.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time, and his short but sweet career will forever be remembered as being controversial, powerful and the inspiration for a classic video game…sort of.

You see, Mike never fought sluggers like King Hippo and Don Flamenco in real life, so his career did nothing for his video game skills, and Mike probably had better things to do than fight himself on the NES.

Jimmy Fallon challenged the former champ to a game of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! On The Tonight Show, to see if Tyson could beat Tyson on national television.

As anyone who has played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! knows beating the big boss is no easy task, and the pixelated version proved to be more than a match for the real life version. Somebody get that man a Game Genie!

Scientists have made such progress with lab-grown organs and 3D printing that in the coming decades the need for organ donors could be a thing of the past. The ability to grow fully-functioning organs using transplant patients’ cells isn’t that far away. It’s already been done a time or two. Source
