World Ends May 21st

May 21, 2011 by Charlie London

The headline is brought to you by California-based radio evangelist Harold Camping, who did the math and calculated the time left to “turn away from your sins and humbly beg, beseech, and implore God for forgiveness.” He says the final day is May 21. More at http://familyradio.com

So, make plans now to go out with a bang and enjoy the movie Bottle Rocket at the NOLA Drive-In on top of the old Schweggman’s on North Broad at Bienville.

Do you long for the days when you could just drive your vehicle up to a large screen to see a movie? Longing for the days when you went to the Drive-In for things other than the movie?

Wish for days gone by no more! This Saturday at 8 pm, enjoy a real drive-in movie on top of (yes, I said on top of) the old Schweggman’s Grocery store at 300 North Broad (at Bienville). You drive up the ramp on to the roof!

Please bring $4 per person to help cover costs. There will be a food truck, beer, kettle corn and snow cones. The fun starts at 6 pm and the movie starts at 8 pm.

Check out the trailer above to get a glimpse of what Bottle Rocket is all about. A bright, optimistic caper comedy from first-time director Wes Anderson, Bottle Rocket focuses on a group of young Texans aspiring to become master thieves. Their leader is Dignan (Owen C. Wilson, who also co-wrote the screenplay), an upbeat if naive charmer who convinces his friends Anthony (Wilson’s brother Luke Wilson) and Bob Mapplethorpe (Robert Musgrave) to enter the crime business. After their first heist, a bizarrely-executed robbery of a local bookstore, the trio goes on the lam, taking up residence in a border hotel where Anthony falls in love with a maid played by Lumi Cavazos. When the three buddies decide that they need to return to the real world, they hook up with a master con-man (James Caan) who sends them on a daring—if ill-concieved—mission.
