Easy Rider

Honey and I were both members of a very small percentage of our generation who had never seen Easy Rider.

Produced by  Peter Fonda and directed by Dennis Hopper, it has often been described as the definitive movie about the late 60s counter-culture.  It gets great reviews - five stars on Turner Classic Movies, and 92% on Rotten Tomatoes - so when I saw it was playing on TV, we recorded it.

A cold, wet weekend seemed the perfect time to watch it, so we did - at least we tried.  We only made it through the first half hour or so.  We probably wouldn't have watched that long except that we thought we were supposed to enjoy it, so we had to be missing something.

We finally just admitted that the movie was crap, deleted it and watched something else.

I'm not sure what that says about us, but, whatever it is, I can live with it.
