...prepared to edit it in your head, or if you have a sudden urge to see the Checkers speech. At the Video Theatre. The Graduate. Mike Nichols directs with Dustin Hoffman. Hopefully this movie will hit you differently your nth time around. Because there is something rotten about it. Purportedly, it describes a late 60s generation gap. But in doing so, it unwittingly calls attention to the gap between the 60s and the 50s from which the vision of the movie is more credibly derived.

In fact, Inuit share everything from basic emotion to their most irresistible delicacy-a violet paste made of bird slime, seal guts, maggoty meat, rotten blubber and premasticated birds. Papik's father deliberately wounds himself to make his injured son less lonely in his pain...
...less top a bill of giants: Mingus, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and his Quintet, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and the Vibration Society, and mellow man Donny Hathaway.
