Bad Times at the El Real spoilers

Wow. This movie blew me away.

I wonder if anyone who was not at least a teenager in the '60s will appreciate it. You need to know about J. Edgar Hoover and his hard-on for finding dirt on MLK, about the Manson Family, about dirty tricks in Nixon's administration, about Viet Nam and fragging--and oh, the glorious music!

I'm not so sure about people who don't have a clue. If you're aware, you will want to see it more than once.
