RedZone Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 They just don't make sound like this anymore......today is nothing but computerized, not my voice, not my face, glitter/glam bullshit. ...a bunch of no meaning useless sound for the most part coming out of the radio....of course, unless you listen to the classic stations or oldies station.

The Byrds are pretty cool but why reference a weak cover to a Bob Dylan masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slotback Right Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I guess you can't be all bad, Red Zone. Anybody who loves the Byrds has got to have some good in him.🙂 My favorites are "Wasn't Born to Follow," and "The Chimes of Freedom." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Rider captured the hearts of a generation because it was about them. It tapped into the raw, the nitty-gritty and the rebellion. And most of all, it tapped into a culture and a passion for living on the outskirts of the establishment—to be free and unbound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drug trip scene at the cemetery was about as B movie as it gets. Just plain bad filming and acting. It didn’t ruin the movie for me, but that part….hard to watch.

The critics liked Ulee's Gold. I thought it was a dud despite much of it filmed in Florida. Florida ain't Hollywood East. Can't name a good flick ever shot here.

Easy Rider was "B-Movie Gold" though. The movie was made for around $375,000 and grossed $60 million worldwide.

The LSD scene was pretty much how tripping was portrayed in movies at that time. Very low tech with a moral and scare tactic that you may have a "Bad Trip" if you decide to drop (take) acid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone back in 1969 knew how to film a proper tripping scene exactly...lol Pretty sure whatever anyone came up with would have looked pretty rough and been critiqued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, typical for the times were kaleidoscopes, strobe lights, spinning pinwheels, color trails. movie cameras in and out of focus, spacey musical sounds, and the like. They were pretty cheesy even back then considering their budgetary restraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
