we blew it

watched Easy Rider tonight. i've never seen the film and it finally showed up from my netflix list. what a great film. low budget, lots of ad-libbing, a shitload of weed and two great scooters. it was so obvious that the entire crew was really smoking weed while it was all being filmed that it made it that much more enjoyable. then to see the feature where everyone involved discussed making the film and walked us thru it shot by shot. and nowhere else have i ever enjoyed Jack as much as i did here. the ending was a surprise and almost to abrupt, but didn't detract from my pure enjoyment of it. if you spent 5 minutes in the 60s, i suggest picking this up if you haven't seen it.

five stars
