I rented "The last picture show" tonight

[HEyHEY]

I think I missed the point. Can anyone fill me in?

1. Small, poor Texas town is really fucked up

But magnificently photographed and acted.

The end.

[HEyHEY]

2. I didn't see what was so fucked up about it.

Seemed like any small town to me.

3. The point was seeing Cybil Shepard nekkid

4. *gag*

[taterguy]

6. Different strokes for different folks

Diversity is what makes the world go round. Right?

[LostinVA]

9. Yup

[terrya]

5. It was the one movie where Cybill Shepard could act.

And that's saying a whole lot, either

I didn't get what was all that great about it, myself.

7. I think it was a major change in cinematic style

at the time....

8. I was just thinking about Peter Bogdonavich last night

I was thinking of all my favorite directors and wondered if I could include him because he directed one of my favorite films, What's Up Doc - but I don't really know or like any of his other work.
