I’ve never watched that whole movie, it’s so stupid, although I am against legalizing marijuana because it does not let kids properly concentrate on college classes so they can be able to graduate and make a living and I think it’s bad for your lungs and I guess now they have discovered the heart also.
But the movie claims are ridiculous and I did not know they have stuff like that in it.
Oh yeah. It was a crazy industry. Back in the day I put a whole bunch of them in my Netflix queue, cause they’re hilarious. One of them, I think it was Cocaine Satan’s Powder, had commentary track from a guy who worked the circuit. He talked about how they rent the movie and posters from the company and then drive town to town showing it. Sometimes in cinemas, sometimes in tents a la revival preachers. And the companies who give you instructions on which reels in include in different builds depending on the time of the showing and the target audience. So there’d be “clean” versions you show for matinees with kids in the audience. There’d also be the late night “men only” build (”horrors too shocking for women” ie nudity), which were the real money making showings. A fascinating odd time in American cinema, mostly lost to history because these prints weren’t really taken care of. Nobody knew they were making history, they were just looking for cash. One of the best commentary tracks I ever listened to.
