Just started Easy Rider (1969). That cocaine deal at the beginning includes some of the worst acting I've ever seen.

Peter Fonda's so cool that he keeps his helmet on top of his luggage in the back of his motorcycle.

Wow.

I watched like 10 minutes of that Rob Schneider stand-up special. I want those 10 minutes back.

Easy Rider (1969) - Not at all what I was expecting. I knew it was about counterculture, but I expected it to be about biker culture more than the outcast/hippie/communal lifestyle. I guess they were one and the same before Harley-Davidson's marketing people built that badass biker image.

It's hard to overlook the primitive acting, but the movie is saved by its epic soundtrack, by Jack Nicholson being Jack Nicholson and by the hysterical acid trip at the end.

Would not watch again.

This was your first time watching it?

 

[Matty]

Yes indeed.

 

[Matty]

BTW the only reason I watched it is that a friend bought us this t-shirt for Jean-Louis:

Wow can't believe that was your first time watching it, Matt.

Great American film.

Motivated us for our cross country trip.

Lots of classic movies that you and I haven't watched.

The IMDB is large.

Have you seen "Tron" ?

If not I'd recommend doing so.

 

[Matty]

I've also watched the original Tron for the first time this year (right after watching the sequel.) weeeeeeeeeeee

I liked it.

Plommer do you think Tron liked Tron?

 

[betplom]

I've seen this flick a few times in the last week on the local Detroit movie channel, features the Fonz and Rocky Balboa!

The Lord's of Flatbush

PS: Matty, I think Tron loved/loves Tron.


PPS: As long as he calls himself "Tron" I don't think I will be able to refrain from breaking his Italian-American balls every chance I get.

 

[Mudcat]

I see I have Easy Rider rated 6. I think I saw it once decades ago and then again in the last couple years because I couldn't remember what the hell and it gets referenced once in awhile so I thought I should know what the hell.

6.

I have not seen Tron.

 

[RayRay]

homeland was finally worth the hour of my time... the american version of Almost Human is decent too

 

[Matty]

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

More fleshed out than the original. It explores timeless themes like the teenage love triangle, teenage suspicion towards The System, and the good old alarmist dystopian future very dear to sci-fi authors' livelihood.

Effective for what it is.

I'd put my penis inside Jennifer Lawrence. Yes I would.

6.9 Matty Rains out of a possible 10
