It was on last night, and I recorded it. Peter Fonda was the star and he died yesterday.

Not a classic. Just weird. Nice scenery. I know it's a cult film and I quite like cult films but really it was just strange.

Yes it is a bit wierd, but to be fair both Fonda and Dennis Hopper were smashed off their tits while making it.

Zeitgeist, innit? You probably had to have been there to appreciate the spirit it captured. We're too young, obviously.

Zeitgeist, innit

I think so. Vietnam was happening, summer of love and all that.

Yanbu.
I watched it twenty odd years ago and thought it was a bit crap. It must have been a generational thing.

I thought it was amazing, super troubling though. Kind of anticipates the America we see today in a way.

When it was made it was very timely and its impact was completely different. Go back and watch any movie from that time and you will (I think) not quite like any of them.
