A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

I wrote an essay about this movie that made my professor want to watch it. I wonder if she ever did ...

It's not a good film, but it's wacky in a 70s hippie-exploitation kind of way. If you start it, you'll get a sense pretty quickly of whether you have the patience or not.

EDIT: my essay was a response to film critics at the time and a re-evaluation of the film from a contemporary context; I didn't defend the film as much as I defended the lofty themes of the film, esp. as I feel we have become more cynical and pessimistic, and the idealism of the film (and of the film's cultural moment, more broadly) was maybe not as much of a bad thing as critics felt it was at the time. Though I did write this essay many years ago, so it's a fuzzy memory at this point.
