MobMov
 n.— «Guerrilla drive-ins or “MobMovs”—shorthand for mobile movies—are popping up around the country in a variety of configurations. Unlike Young’s old-school use of real film, guerrilla drive-ins typically eschew the analog in favor of DVDs and LCD projectors. […] And though they’re decidedly DIY-style, all aspiring MobMovers are urged to keep it legal and secure required approvals from property owners and film distributors, who charge roughly $150 to $300 for a showing.» —“‘Guerrilla drive-ins’ turn nostalgia on its head” by Joann Loviglio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Washington Post June 9, 2006.
