Please tell me that it's over. I've been watching Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider for what seems like a year. I actually have a hangover without the benefit of ingesting any chemicals. I saw this celluloid hand-job when I was 20. It's 40+ years later, I watched the movie on TUBI, and I am less of a sentient being than this morning.
So much of this garbage is embedded in our culture's skin that I am not about to argue the movie's "merits" with anyone. From my point of view, regardless of what I think of the whole hippie generation, Easy Rider is a tedious, overblown, and hyper-artistic exercise in trying to find meaning in the adventures of two people who don't seem to have much to offer each other or anyone else.
Wyatt and Billy are the quintessential wastes of carbon.
Go ahead and pound your meaty fury on the "thumbs down" icon. I don't care.
Easy Rider is the equivalent of Judge Reinhold in the bathroom, but there's no Phoebe Cates in sight.
