Friday we went to the drive-in to see the new mummy movie. The movie was not that great, but the weather was. In the movie, just as the mummy was starting to stir a thunderstorm that was slowly moving towards us really opened up, and started lighting up the sky all over the place, just at the right moments in the movie. Lots of “flash bang” lightning strikes to the right, left and behind the outdoor screen pretty much in sync with what was actually happing in the film; it made the movie even better and more fun to watch. Yeah part of it was the fear of being “zotted” by a million zillion volts of electricity like in those news stories of cows being hit by lighting. Here we are, in a tin can, surrounded by other tin cans, in Illinois, where there are no tall structures or trees to attract lightning, just us cars and the drive-in screen. Once the storm arrived, and our windows fogged up, we found finger painting on our car’s foggy windows more entertaining than the movie. Unfortunately, finger painting can hold a four year old for just so long, so after a short while, we decided to leave the flick. We will rent it later. We liked all the earlier mummy movies, and this one was about on par with them, maybe it was the weather. Most mummy movies make for great Saturday afternoon horror adventure flicks this one did not.
