kind of an interesting movie, not great by any stretch but certainly a time capsule of california surburbia in 1975. in a way it reminded me of nashville which i believe was also 75 but it certainly was lacking the altman touch for better or worse. oh, its called smile and stars bruce dern and barbara felton. it satirizes the whirl surrounding a competition to become miss teen california. curious if anyone remembers it. i dont.
also, i happen to watch jj abrams super 8 yesterday which is set in 1979. the teens in that movie were nearly dead ringers for a trio in this one. i wonder if there are just archetypal characters for 70s teens. super 8, btw, is an imperfect movie but better than most summer dreck though i just may be a sucker for the nostalgia.
