Reply #16: I HATED Harold and Maude, too...

[Flaxbee]

I saw it when I was about 19, with a bunch of friends whom I loved but also found to be a tad bit "precious" at times. I was intensely pragmatic and they were all wearing tye-die and hugging trees. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I'm a die-hard environmentalist, but they'd sit around and be all dreamy and I wanted to go out and march and make noise and holler. So I was predisposed to dislike what any of them said was their favorite movie. I have a feeling now that if I could see it w/o the pre-viewing prejudice I harbored, I'd like Maude.

Other bummer though was that I got home to a voice message from my sister saying my grandmother had died...apparently about the same time as when I was watching the movie. So I hate it forevermore.
