I've got to say that I loved the film when it came out, but really thought the acting was pretty bad when I watched it recently. The best thing about the movie is the soundtrack.
Let's try this: Who's going to be running in the next presidental election and why will they be the front running candidate. Answer this adequately and we'll figure out how much you've seen.
Some of the more famous ones running are Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Chris Christie, and I want none of them to be elected. There has only been a few good presidents.
Easy Rider wasn't so much political as it was a social commentary of the time. Counter culture vs ******* culture...not a good combination back in the mid to late 60's.
Fonda's daughter Bridget was in the film if I recall...
I don't envy them riding those hardtail panheads at all...

As in talking about Easy Rider. It's on TV Wednesday in my area. It's on a channel called the movie channel. I know there are several different channels called that but in my area it is on Channel 116
Dennis Hopper was great in that film as well as Jack, Peter Fonda couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Karen Black was in it also. I remember the poster of Dennis H. on his Harley flippin the dudes in the truck off, a classic, I bought that poster for my sister when she moved out of the house.
I never got hold of that poster of Hopper. Anyone here see him in Blue Velvet? His character Frank Booth was pure evil.
I think Peter Fonda must have been the undisputed "master of expressionless." Playing a role without any acting ability. I think that's all he could do.
Nicholson! He and Karen Black were also awesome in Five Easy Pieces. I loved the scene in the diner, when Nicholson's character tried to order something different than what was on the menu.
I think you're getting the Fondas and the Sinatras mixed up, David. Peter Fonda starred in Easy Rider.
Nancy Sinatra sang "These boots are made for walking'".
Or I'm mistaken and you were simply talkin' to our WFF member "wadin' boot"?
You are right, but the pic was from Wild Angels. An also ran moody righteous bike flick with both. I just segued.
Call me sick but I still see her prancing boots. Frank no doubt spent a bundle promoting his baby girl.
I remember reading about the diner scene. The diner patrons were everyday locals. The camera guy told them to do their everyday thing then had Hopper and Fonda walk in. The tense stare-down was pretty real for the day.
Dipnet, that Steppenwolf album was the first LP I ever bought. " I like smoke and lightning, Heavy Metal thunder, racin' with the wind, and the feelin' that I'm under"
