AZ,
The dive in movie is one of my favorite features at Oasis. It was, however, difficult to follow a feature length film that was hard to see and hard to hear. The episodes of Hawaiian Eye were short enough for our attention spans. They were campy fun and easy to follow and loaded with Tiki/Hawaiian imagery. I think shorts are the way to go, Beachbum Berrys "The Secret of Easter Island" and the Buggs and Daffy Island cartoons would be perfect. The first time they showed a Hawaiian Eye, they showed a movie trailer in a comercial slot. Vincent Price shook a woman so hard her head came off and rolled down the stairs. The crowd exploded, it was hilarious. That was in June, it was warmer and everyone was in the pool. I like the dive in movie and I hope to see it continue.
Mahalo,
Al
