Memorable Movie-going Moments
An old writer told me about seeing EASY RIDER
in 1968 or '69 at the Grandin Theater in Roanoke, Virginia. As the movie
ended, with Hopper's and Fonda's characters lying dead, a hippie stood
up in the front of the theater and said, "YOU SEE THAT! YOU killed those
boys!" A redneck in the back of the theater hollered back: "You shut
the hell up, boy, or we gonna kill you next!"
Whatever happened to that kind of audience participation? The kind that didn't involve cellphones?
