50 years ago today: Easy Rider premieres

Half a century ago they went looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe it's just as well.

 

All Your "IMG's" Come Up As "Hip Forum's Error".....??..



Cheers Glen.

 

But on the other hand, some might say they found America, good and proper?

 

Moon landing is 50 years ago next month also

 

There was a sequel made in 2012 with no stars

 

Love the soundtrack !

 

All time favorite movie

 

Mallyboppa, great song and soundtrack.

 

They look good to me! Anyone else not seeing them?

 

I cannot see them.

 

Permission error, you have to be friends with him to see them

and I dont want to be his friend

 

Imagine my disappointment.

So how do I change the settings so even my enemies can see them?

 

It should be fixed now, is there anyone who still can't see the pics?

 

I remember one of my brothers being underage to go into see this movie so my mom went to see it with him. She loved it.

 

I cant see them, but its only because I dont care enough to scroll back up

 

When I first saw it I was underage so my father took me and my brother to see it at a drive-in. Dad didn't care for it, didn't like the profanity and drug use, but my bro and I loved it.

 

Working Perfectly Now, Thanks newo......



Cheers Glen.

 

being 71 means 50 years ago i was 21. yah i was in the air force that year and watched it in the base movie house.
i thought it was an ok movie about a couple of guys going on a long road trip on two wheels.
it wasn't to me really much of anything else. it was culturally iconoclastic at the time, which i think was the whole point,
which looking back on it seems even more gratuitous now then it did then. i mean it was fun inspite of that.
but otherwise, i mean other then the fact they were able to make it, in the context of the time,
well that was really the one and only big deal about it.

i don't think its something that some alien archiologist, digging up long after humans have become extinct,
would derive that much of an undestanding of who humans were as a species.

so a couple of guys rode a couple bikes, smoked a little pot, met different people, some of whom liked them and some didn't.
and that was pretty much the whole movie.

(this "looking for america", what the fuck is that?
america is just a place that was stolen from 574 free countries that were already here,
and tries to forget it did so and pretend that it invented freedom, which it didn't.)
