	village voice > art > Graffiti at Brooklyn Museum by Jan Avgikos
		Graffiti art was really its own thing: It had none of the irony of European "bad painting," and none of the anger channeled by disenfranchised artists of color whose voices were beginning to be heard for the first time inside the museum.
		Graffiti had to be tamed in order to function as proper art, and that was the beginning of the end.
		This "Graffiti" exhibition may well prove to be the proverbial handwriting on the wall, showing what we have to fear if exhibition development is taken out of the hands of scholar-curators and turned over to the education department.

	American Graffiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American Graffiti is a 1973 film directed by George Lucas.
		The license plate is identical to the one on John Milner's '32 Ford deuce coupe in American Graffiti.
		The license plate in Graffiti is an homage to George Lucas' first feature film, THX 1138, while the same license plate in Swingers is tribute to American Graffiti.

	American Graffiti
		Graffiti can be debated as both an art form and a form of vandalism, depending on whom you ask.
		According to Juarez, there is a big graffiti surge at the start of the semester and then it starts to taper down until the next big campus event.
		Graffiti artist Mike Balinthy agrees graffiti can be used destructively, but only when it is used outside the art form.

	American Graffiti - Movie Review
		Lucas' second feature film, American Graffiti, was a self-assured gem that established him as a major director (though a lot of studios still didn't want to bankroll Star Wars, proving that studio execs weren't any smarter in the seventies than they are now).
		The average Americans depicted in Lucas’ film were unaware of all the ground that was being broken, but they shared the confident attitude and restless spirit of the time.
		American Graffiti is a successful tribute to an era of optimism and competitiveness which was bitchin’ -- and now seems very far in the past.

	American Graffiti Coupe - Milestones - Street Rodder
		Which is fitting, because when I caught up with the American Graffiti coupe at the Viva Las Vegas Car Show during the spring of 2000, LeMat happened to be present and accounted for, as well.
		According to legend, Universal's marketing team concluded early that American Graffiti would be a financial flop, and to recoup their projected loses they ordered Travers to sell the Deuce coupe immediately.
		Thus was born More American Graffiti, and Milner's hot rod was sent back to Orlandi's shop for a minor facelift, including a new paint job; same color, different paint, this time acrylic enamel.

	American Graffiti: Collector's Edition (1973)
		Actually, both Star Wars and American Graffiti share quite a lot in common, in that Lucas had a difficult time getting backing for both, studio faith in each was low, and they both received a fantastic reaction from the general public.
		Although American Graffiti largely has transformed from smash film to historical footnote, it clearly was a very important film that cast shadows beyond that of just its TV rip-off.
		Really, only Ron Howard had achieved any significant success prior to American Graffiti through his role as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show, but even he needed the boost this film gave him, since he was having trouble making the transition from child star to adult actor.

	DVDFILE.COM: AMERICAN GRAFFITI review
		I'm sure there are many who argue that the teen rituals depicted in American Graffiti and the art of "cruising" are long since out of practice, but I don't know.
		Anyway, American Graffiti could be said to have ushered in the sub-genre known as the "plotless examination of aimless teenagers" flick, but its still the best.
		The simple setup is actually brilliant, I think, in that we simply follow a group of teenagers over the course of night, as their seemingly separate and pointless stories intertwine.

		As Lucas develops several character subplots, American Graffiti becomes a flawless time capsule of meticulously re-created memory, as authentic as a documentary and vividly realized through innovative use of cinematography and sound.
		If film and television historians have it right, though, American Graffiti was the catalyst for the 1950s Nostalgia fad that begat TV's Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, and the blessedly short-lived Joanie Loves Chachi (not to mention Sha Na Na and Broadway`s Grease).
		American Graffiti is a bittersweet yet comedic look at what the DVD publicity blurb says was "America's last age of innocence." In the summer of `62, JFK was in the White House, the Beatles were still unknown in this side of the Atlantic, and drive in diners and movie palaces were very popular.

	American Graffiti Movie Poster
		Since American Graffiti has been so widely copied, it's hard to fully describe how remarkable the film was when it was first released in 1973.
		This film captured and capsulized the typical American teenage experience in the 1960's where driving up-and-down the main-drag was the primary source of entertainment in most small towns.
		American Graffiti should rank as one of the best movies ever made and is in a league with The Godfather, Gone With the Wind, Rebel Without a Cause, and Citizen Kane for it's portrayal of 1960's American teenage culture.

	More American Graffiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The film is set over four consecutive New Year's Eves, 1964-1967, and scenes from each of these years are intercut with one another as though the events are happening simultaneously.
		The stock car racing scenes for "More American Graffiti" were filmed at the Fremont Raceway, later Baylands Raceway Park, in Fremont, California.

	American Graffiti (1973)
		Young George Lucas' influential hallmark film American Graffiti (1973) recreates the feel, landscape, and sounds of early 60s, small-town America - an historical time period (of JFK's Presidency and the New Frontier before the jarring assassination of late 1963 and the rest of an unpredictable era) that has since been irretrievably lost.
		The film was Lucas' homage to the memories of his own teenage years in Modesto, California, remembered with vintage cars and dragsters, drive-ins (Mel's), an almost non-stop rock soundtrack, teenage activities (hot rod crusin' and makin' out), and characteristic hair and clothing styles.
		A drawing of a wolf-headed student, Wolfman Jack, is described as "Finger Popping" from the class of '51.

		A massive advertising campaign coined the slogan for the film, "Where were you in '62?", before the Beatles era began two years later.
		George Lucas, age 28, was an ex-USC film student and intern at Warner Brothers and true to its claim, every studio in Hollywood refused "American Graffiti" except for Universal.
		The huge financial success of the movie helped usher in a new breed of maverick director/producer who is today what the old moguls were in the 1940's--Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola among them.
