AMERICAN GRAFITTI......


......i thought it was a nice touch that francis ford copolla put the name of his first flick 'dementia 13' on the movie marquee in the scene where 'the pharoes' car club rip the rear axle off of the cop car in his buddy george lucas' flick 'american grafitti'.
yet 'dementia 13' came out in 1963 and 'american grafitti' is set at the end of summer 1962,but eh....whos counting.

The movie was also featured in You're a Big Boy Now. Elizabeth Hartman's charcter ( a Catholic schoolgirl from Hell) is with her friends in a flashback scene,a nd she laughs hysterically at Dementia 13 as well as Corman's Pit and the Pendulum at a theater.

Also, in the Sopranos, Meadow and her boyfriend, Noah, go to see it at the University theater showing.

But American Grafitti was a George Lucas movie

SPOILER ALERT: Soylent Green is, in fact, people.

Yeah, i guess Francis wanted to put the title on the marquee for a clever idea.
