Profane Hippie!

"Thus, paralleling the general expectation of multiple orgasms instilled by the proliferating sex industry, the cinema has created the multiclimactic film in which narrative sense and dramatic structure are sacrificed to a sequence of sensationalistic shocks-a soullessly carnal genre appealing to the lowest common denominators in human nature: erotic titillation and the childish love of being thrilled or horrified. (Where linear development lingers on in the film world, it does so mainly in limply ironic form, typified by the designedly meaningless drift of the ‘road movie’.)" - Ian MacDonald, Revolution in the Head: The Beatles and the Sixties
