Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-13-2006 04:50 PM                     Norway Drive-In Theatre made completely of ice...yes, seats too! http://www.nbc30.com/news/8640377/detail.html?rss=har&psp=news KAUTOKEINO, Norway -- In Norway, when people say, "That movie left me cold," they aren't kidding. The screen and seats for a Norwegian drive-in movie theater are made of ice and snow. Viewers can sit on the ice seats, but most of the patrons at this drive-in come on snowmobiles. The theater recently showed a movie about the history of the Nordic countries for Easter season. The snowy cinema is expected to be open throughout the Easter season, and may become permanent if it's popular.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-13-2006 06:17 PM                        Why not? They have motels made of ice, which are also (inexplicably) very popular.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-13-2006 08:13 PM                     Where are the speakers?  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-15-2006 07:59 PM                        What a job punching all those holes in the screen with ice picks.  |  IP: Logged Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 04-15-2006 09:58 PM                     Ha ha!
