So, because I was so bored last night and I couldn't justify to myself (because it is just sad) to go to bed at 9:00 PM. I sat down to watch Easy Rider.
You know, one of those films everyone (everyone old) talks about as being so good and such a monumental film. One of those films that you should watch to get more jokes and pop culturereferences?
Well, they are all wrong. It is a dumb, dumb movie. It made me mad to watch it. Nothing about it is good. Okay, maybe that isn't true, Jack Nicholson was in it, and he was kind a good. Although, he dies dumbly in the film. Actually they all die dumbly in the film... oops I hope I didn't ruin it for you, not really though.
I actually fast forwarded through a lot of it. The entire movie is 95 minutes long, a good 45 minutes is just them riding bikes, not talking, just riding. Anger RISING. Even the soundtrack didn't make me want to watch.
I would watch Warriors a 1,000 times before I watch this again.
HATE IT.

Man, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who watches certain movies to get the popculture references, quotes, and little inside jokes. I feel that I am a little behind the eight ball in this area.
This post made me laugh so hard. I had to read it out loud to Chris.
i fell asleep... rather, i passed out, last night at 9 pm. what's so wrong with that?
and at first, i thought the post was going to be about ghost rider and i thought, wow, really? she went to see that? does she have a thing for nicholas cage that i didn't know about?
Haha - I do what Sarah does, as well - I watch movies that I feel like I should've seen a long time ago. The 2 that haven't disappointed me at all are The Godfather and Casablanca. Some of the others on my list are: “Unforgiven,” “Dances with Wolves” and “The Big Lebowski”
Easy Rider was NOT on my list and now it won't be. You've done us all a great public service.
