Yeah..I’d bet quite a bit of cash that the author is anti-“cultural revolution”. It’s because there were state by state laws and regulations that had to be abided by for beer to be sold in various states….since Coors wouldn’t do what it took to sell the beer in states East of the Mississippi….the state laws that made transporting large quantities of unregulated alcohol into a state against the law…turned what happened in Smoky into bootlegging. No one would have cared if you bought a 12 pack in Nebraska and drove it home to Georgia….but trucking in a whole of it was against the law and would have legal consequences. Kind of in the same way that having a poker game with your buddies at your house is allowed…but if you turned your basement into a full on casino you would attract some unwanted legal attention. Eh….it was decent…and obviously had a plot….you just didn’t like it Here is a VERY long NY Times article about Coors from the 70s https://www.nytimes.com/1975/12/28/archives/article-4-no-title-sold-only-in-the-west-coors-beer-is-smuggled-to.html Probably not as grown up as you think Um….yes….the movie ends like they are all buddies…traveling on the seas together….dont know what you talking about. My problem with the ending is…..we are supposed to decide the dragon is just a hurt misunderstood creature….that would never have killed all these “innocent” women that were just kinda disguised as royalty…because she really thought she was just killing a bunch of great-great-great-great granddaughters of a guy who did a terrible thing….because of course those girls woulda really deserved it. I went camping with some friends in Maryland the week after we watched it…make fun all you want….but the fear adrenaline was real. Whatever….it was innovative and great at the time…I believe the number one thing a movie should be is great in it’s time….sometimes because the underlying story or concept becomes cliched or some of the technical aspects don’t age well…it may not appear so great later….but I think that’s irrelevant if the audience in real time is into it.
