It's just not possible! I'm an HBO subscriber, don't I have a voice in this? <strong>Are you hinting at a strongly-worded letter? Because I can get behind that.</strong> I keep seeing this but I cannot believe that Screen on the Green is over. It’s just not possible! I’m an HBO subscriber, don’t I have a voice in this?

Are you hinting at a strongly-worded letter? Because I can get behind that.

You can do anything. You just have to believe. All you have to do is empty a bottle of Firefly and imagine.

I like your proactivity. I’m thinking… Cinemax doesn’t do anything you can show during daytime hours. Maybe Starz?

Nothing says summer fun like highway noise and passing trains! Though the proximity to Wendy's and the free popcorn were definite pluses. <strong>Metro stop movies sounds eh. Plus, where? With all the new construction...</strong> Maybe they’ll have another abandoned lot series across from the New York Ave metro like they did with Bond films last summer (I refuse to use the created term for that area of the city).

They do outdoor movies with FOOD stands at the Strathmore in Bethesda. A bit of a hike but I had loads of fun watching a Monty Python movie there, plus they don't let people put up chairs in the front, not that many people go (maybe 1000?), the screen is IMAX giant, and they set it up on a amphitheatre nature slope type thingy so it's easy to see. I also remember seeing something about movies shown outdoors on 17th St in Dupont, maybe on the kickball field? But I can't remember the specifics. <strong>Food stands? Ok. Ok.
