I thought this movie was based on the life of Snoopy’s bird friend.
The only thing worse than watching dirty hippies is watching dirty hippies on the big screen.
Brokeback Mountain. Woodstock. He’s working hard to be the next Roman Polanski.
The people who were there are married with kids and/or grandkids and didn’t want to see a romanticized vision of something they experienced. Younger generations have their own pop cultural touchstones.
There's a problem.
I’d poke my eyes out before I would watch such boring cr*p.
Are their actually people who still think this whole “Woodstock” thing isn’t over and done with?
Except for Baby Boombers still living in the 60s, probably a large percentage of the D-Congressional delegation and the MSM, Americans were repulsed by Woodstock and everything it stood for or Generation X-ers and later who don’t give a damn.
Uh, the answer is easy. Woodstock sucks and their generation created a mess in our country. Few people want to be reminded of it.
The “Woodstock Nation” zeitgeist was always an illusion and even the illusion evaporated after a few months. It just wasn’t that important and as proof I submit the fact that no one under 50 gives a rat’s patootie about it.
After all, few people under 40 care to pay attention to the ancient drug-addled antics of senior citizens.
Maybe Ang should have added fag cowboys in it like his other film..
Not quite true.
It's doing poorly at the box office because the people interested in seeing this film have stopped going to the cinema. They have nice home theaters where they prefer to watch movies in comfort and they're waiting for the DVD. Hollywood hasn't figured this out yet. The only films that do great at the box office these days are big-budget CGI films.
Hollywood is still using box office receipts to measure a film's success, seemingly unaware that the whole model has changed.
FWIW, Lee's 2nd worse performing English language film, Ride with the Devil is one of my favorite movies.
I thought about seeing the movie, until word hit the street of how period music was in it, just couldn’t see the point of a Woodstock movie without Woodstock music. So I went and saw Halloween II.
( They actually went to sleep then, AND NOW THEY MUST AWAKEN.........OR ELSE!)
I was a Woodstocker myself, and am now repulsed by what it has wrought.
I don't need to glorify that debunked fantasy.
Unlike most baby boomers, I accepted growing up and facing reality.
no need for 70’s nostalgia when we’re living it every day, Mr. Lee
Besides a couple-hundred thousand (supposedly) hippies at Woodstock, there were another 200+ million Americans going about their daily lives.
Somehow the cultural elites decided Woodstock was a watershed event. The rest of American could not have cared less.
Maybe the SOB doesn’t realize that most sane people utterly despise the “Woodstock Generation” for being a bunch of self-centered, drugged-out,cowardly perverts who would sacrifice everything and everyone around them to satiate their own wants and needs. And now that they are fat, old, and ugly, they are more repulsive than ever.
