"A Page of Madness" is in the public domain and available on You Tube--as is, apparently, the original "Story of Floating Weeds." Neato.

Have we discussed "soaked in bleach"???

If not, we should. On Netflix now...

I watched it last week. I'm pretty convinced that Courtney had Kurt killed now, but that's after watching a documentary pretty heavily skewed in that direction.

It was definitely interesting. Courtney was a junkie too - so hard to imagine her masterminding this part - She would have to have managed complicity with at least the babysitter, and later - the lawyer friend.

And seemed like she kept Grant in her employ long after Kurt died. That didn't make sense- why would she do that?

I'm glad it's not a prequel to Alien. I like Alien and Aliens, but we need no further tie in's to that franchise. Prometheus looks incredibly appealing on it's own.

prepare to be disappointed...............

Katherine Waterston was cast as the lead in Alien: Convenant.

I wonder if she is taking over for Noomi Rapace.

Also, there's speculation that Elizabeth Shaw is Ripleys mother...so there's the tie-in

I can't help but question the credibility of a movie buff who has Magic Mike XXL listed at #22.

I saw that and didn't really go much further. I'm not proud to say that I watched the movie w/ my wife and it was comically bad.

After looking at the list, I haven't even heard of all but three of the movies on the list....Magic Mike being one of them.

Sounds like your friend is a big indy film kinda guy..well, minus Magic Mike and Mad Max

[go birds]

[The Third Man]

It gave me another Sion Sono film to check out, though. EVERYBODY WATCH LOVE EXPOSURE.
