I took your tip and listened to the radio show extra just now. Love the woman who shows up in the booth to ask some question (maybe a relative of the kid who was killed?) and Sonny doesn't let her get a word edge-wise! Badass vindication at its best.Erich Kuerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-77979947615129059142009-09-25T15:17:27.884-05:002009-09-25T15:17:27.884-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-52768088484505411582009-09-25T15:17:27.225-05:002009-09-25T15:17:27.225-05:00I really enjoyed this piece on such a great film, ...I really enjoyed this piece on such a great film, a real top 10 movie for me. The Criterion disc has some fantastic special features, like the whole radio show we hear excerpted in the movie (where the Angel calls in to blame the Stones and whoever pushed over his bike for the all the mayhem). That show, with clips of Let It Bleed pulsating across the San Fran airwaves, the calm, cool, hipper-than-thou DJ (he calls Jefferson Airplane "The Airplane"), with callers-in trying to assess what they just saw, captures the vibe of late-sixties as well as anything in the film.<br /><br />A hard movie to put into words - its effect is so visceral. However, this was one of my favorite of your essays.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-83241912296461536422009-09-24T19:54:35.357-05:002009-09-24T19:54:35.357-05:00Thanks Ivan!

And I too love Hell's Angels on Wheels, the all-too-often under-appreciated great biker flick not made by Roger Corman and badass Lazlo Kovacs pull focus camera... Fuckin' A. And J.D., you are so right about Woodstock. I just saw the extended version and couldn't believe it.

I went to school the next day and couldn't get it out of my head. <br /><br />Interesting take you have on it. (Ivan sent me your link.) I basically agree with what you say. I tied this movie to the Biker Movie genre in the link below.<br /><br />http://ottomannixreport.blogspot.com/2009/05/bad-ass-and-beautiful.htmlOtto Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490313031593310650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-49881176130152229822009-09-24T15:23:30.388-05:002009-09-24T15:23:30.388-05:00Agreed!
