The numerical solution of the gas damping problem in two-dimensional geometries is obtained based on the Boltzmann-ESBGK equation.
The funniest line is when someone says “People who eat Army food end up dead.” The most pretentious bit is having Edgar Allan Poe as a literary device and as a satire on all the films Corman did on Poe stories, showing up repeatedly on a motorcycle with the beautiful Lenore on the back seat with him lecturing the kids on how to conduct their lives and reminding them of their pending doom.Ĭountry Joe puts in an appearance as the self-proclaimed “godhead” and radio personality with a band, singing during a concert the film’s best tune “When you bury my body, don’t bury my soul.” But too many lame jokes and sorry-assed songs fill the screen, with forgettable songs such as “I’m Looking for a World,” “This Is the Beginning,” and “Maybe It Really Wasn’t Love.” It takes more than a few hits on the bong to get into this messy pic.We consider squeeze film gas damping during microbeam motion away and toward a substrate as occurs during opening and closing of RF switches and other MEMS devices. The film’s funniest scene had the couple burning the works of Jacqueline Susann and Harold Robbins to make a bonfire to keep warm. It’s not a good pic by any means (in fact it’s a terrible plotless ramble of an idiotic film), but it’s probably worth a look for certain curious viewers because it’s so raw, audacious, bizarre and diverting. Their motto is loot, rape, burn, and pillage. Their biggest problem is escaping the thug football team, the Warriors, who force them to join. Youth turns against youth and evil new societies keep popping up along the road, but the determined seekers of a brave new world trudge on. They hook up with two other daffy couples who help them reclaim their car in a gun fight from the play-acting used-lot cowboys, and they all make that arduous journey to Pueblo together. The couple is heading to New Mexico to find a pueblo commune they heard about where everybody is into good vibes and love. In the wide-open prairie, their vintage pink Ford Edsel is high-jacked by youths pretending to be legendary cowboys from film lore and firing six-shooters. Peaceful hippies Coel (Robert Corff) and Cilla (Elaine Giftos) flee the police state of Dallas, taken over by a power-hungry rookie policeman who bears a grudge against hippies. Writer George Armitage keeps it as an insane anarchistic freakout that leaves a stench across a large swath of Texas and New Mexico it compares football players with fascists, policemen with sadistic dictators, the Hell’s Angels become golf-obsessed country club members and the guardians of America’s sacred middle-class virtues and the upward mobile are viewed as the power-hungry masses who crave war.ĭuring the christening of a new biological-chemical warfare laboratory in Alaska, a bottle of a new experimental gas to stop the aging process is accidentally swapped with the champagne bottle and when broken by the American general it unleashes a gas that kills everyone in the world over the age of 25 but leaves those under 25 untouched. As a result, Corman started his own production company called New World Pictures.
It was one of Corman’s few films that lost money because it was so disjointed.
They reedited without his permission and cut such prized scenes as his Jewish God conversing with Jesus in fear it would antagonize Middle America. It was the last film cult producer-director Roger Corman (“Bloody Mama”/”The Red Baron”/”Frankenstein Unbound”) made for AIP, as he was bitter that the studio chopped up his baby with changes that ruined the pic (very difficult to accept the pic in this chaotic state). It starts out as an ‘end-of-the-world’ psychedelic sci-fi flick that’s filled with nostalgia for the hippie days of the 1960s, but ends up being a satire on all youth films. Surprisingly effective in an insane nonsensical way, but certainly no classic or mind-bending experience. “It takes more than a few hits on the bong to get into this messy pic.”Ī youth-culture-oriented film that has a group of peace-loving hippies searching for utopia in an America that loves its violence.
