And, yes, there were a couple of times in Laos when I rented a motorbike for the day.<br /><br />But for the rest of my life I've always used a pedal bike and been strictly a short-back-and-sides man.Dessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172245410667624187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-32658195883965049472020-02-17T07:00:55.834-08:002020-02-17T07:00:55.834-08:00I guess I land somewhere between you an Ray on thi...I guess I land somewhere between you an Ray on this one. I liked it more for its significance than for itself. The imagery and the music is iconic and so is the randomness of the narrative, but it is also terribly frustrating to watch as if it needed some proper direction. I am probably more on the plus side though and that despite not driving a motorbike. Also my hair is usually rather short. The little that is left...TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-58529605821037097472020-02-12T22:39:05.565-08:002020-02-12T22:39:05.565-08:00I just reached the halfway mark with the 2019 edit...I just reached the halfway mark with the 2019 edition: I'm officially halfdead. :) I'm not following the chronological order, so it's always exciting for me to see which film will be your next one: have I seen it or not yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-39296862896319343002014-09-26T18:37:06.007-07:002014-09-26T18:37:06.007-07:00Haha I laughed out loud at your comment.

By todays standard so much of the ideology and dialog is corny and dated. Some of the imagery..such as pointedly throwing away his watch and looking into the distance in a deep and meaningful way seems so cliched.. now. Yes, there are many things 'not that good' about easy rider<br />But...sorry, despite all that.. I still like this one.. a lot.<br />I tentatively admit to even having a poster of it up at home.. (Hey, gimme a break.. I could do a lot worse.. Let me assure you I have NEVER wanted a poster of a female tennis play scratching her bum.. or a hunky muscle bound guy holding a baby in B&W or an ape sitting on a toilet with a speech bubble..)<br />It's not my fault.. I'm in my late 50's.. and I ride a motorbike and have long hair in a plait. I'm legally obliged to like this one..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918265332894443061noreply@blogger.com
