Name one Peter Fonda movie. The only one most people can is "Easy Rider," which came out in 1969. I saw it in college around 1972 and thought it was not bad. Then, during a binge of nostalgic movie-watching, I watched it again around 2008. Or I should say I tried to; it was unwatchable (although it still had a happy ending). So that's the sum total of Peter Fonda's life's work. (He also starred in "Ulee's Gold," I think. I've never seen it and don't even know what it's about, and I don't know anyone who has ever seen it or knows what it's about.) Quite the legacy there, Pete.
Overall I felt Ulee's gold wasn't a half bad movie ... Fonda wasn't bad ... wasn't outstanding but he wasn't bad ...
He also had a minor role in some PBS movie but I forget the name ... That was the last I heard about him until he went all mentally irregular over Trump. Wow! Hard to believe any sane and sober soul could get that agitated ... makes me doubt his sanity and sobriety, but what do I know ;)
I kinda don't think he will be remembered for much more than his Trump rant. Yeah, quite the legacy.
