Cappy,
Have you seen the Cane toad documentary?
Cane Toads: The Conquest (2010) - IMDb
Are you in an area with these nasty creatures? We have these in Florida too. I have to be careful letting my dog out at night because these things are all over. They were imported here in the 30s to kill sugar cane grubs.

If I remember correctly, I think my sister's dog got really sick from one of these sitting in his outside water dish.
They can kill a dog if you don't get the poison washed out of their mouth quickly. The poison can spray if a dog paws at them in the right place.
He lived. They got him to the vet in time.
Wow!
I JUST finished watching
Bridgend
I had never heard about it. It was so...perplexing...horrendous... fascinating...
I actually paused and Google it a for a few minutes to see if it was a hoax.
Peace.
(Definitely going to research the he11 out of this.)

I watched this one too and it was totally just bizarre. My personal thought is drug use and an ingredient used in the drugs. Nowadays drug makers will mix all sorts of s*it in drugs, and I think this bleak little town with very little opportunity probably has a higher population on drugs. JMO. I hope all of these people had a drug screening and they are gathering data in that regard.
Something is rewiring their brains. I'd like to hear an update on this.
Just finished this-thanks for the rec, DJ! So many interesting interviews. I didn't know much about the history of the Strip before I watched this. I was intrigued by the way it was reinvented so many times and was always the example of what was current and hip. I loved the glitz and glamour. Could've done without watching the footage of Jane's Addiction from 2010!
I know! That hanging women by their skin thing made me cringe!
On a related note, I am watching The Source Family, also played a role in The Sunset Strip.
The Source Family
Sort of a hippie/spiritual group that got started in California in the 60s. It's a cult. They all end up being cults and the head guy turns into this crazy bastid who thinks he's God and screws all the young girls.
Weird.
They did have some good things going for them at first though. Healthy all natural diet; they owned a natural food restaurant that was pulling in 10,000 dollars a day!, so they were self sufficient. Their number one commandment was to just be kind.
Then it all goes to crazy hell in a hand basket.

The Act of Killing
The Act of Killing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was really a tough one to get through for a number of reasons. The fact these old men have killed and scared families and they have gone on to live long and profitable lives and can so gaily laugh about their actions is sickening. Corruption and genocide.
The movie is about 2 hours long and it is subtitled, so be prepared to read. And stick with it. It took me many times to finally get through it, it exhausted me -- I would watch in chunks here and there and then not for weeks when I would pick it up where I left off.
There is remorse at the end for one man. But he still questions if he sinned.
If you watch the credits, a number of the workers are labeled anonymous as these workers are afraid to reveal who they were.
Within the documentary, these monsters make a movie about their exploits as murderers. It is totally weird and surreal. One guy is a cross dressing murdering oddball. I just never got what he was all about.
Yes, I recommend this. It's choppy but an eye opener.

Birth of the Living Dead
WOW. Romero did not have the copyright to the movie. It is public domain.
And the fact that children were taking a zombie class? Now, as a kid, I would have loved it, but it surprised me, and the fact they actually watched the movie in class, in school, as children! I can't imagine parents going for this. Unless of course, they are a parent like me.

I watched a documentary on Bettie Page yesterday. I won't give the actual title since I have never seen so much nudity in my life-and the pics were from the 50's! It was rated R, but should've been XXX. It gave her complete life story, though. Given her childhood and the things she endured, I found it very interesting how she was so completely uninhibited. I also never knew she suffered from a mental illness. I love her pin up work, just got a little squeamish about all the nudity and some of the other types of photos and movies she was in.
I agree. I envied her that freedom to just see a body as a body.
Watched the new Netflix documentary on Whitey Bulger the other night.
What a scumbag. The FBI should also be ashamed of how their Boston office operated then and now.
