Prophecy (1979, John Frankenheimer) - Against the ‘70s
Hey folks, and welcome to the second film in this new six-film series, Animal Apocalypses. I’ll be looking at a bunch of “nature run amok” movies
againstthe70s.blot.im
Hey folks! A new AGAINST THE ‘70S already! Film #2 in my Animal Apocalypses series is PROPHECY! I think I go longer on this than anyone ever has before. That doesn’t necessarily reflect well on me. Another new post next week, then back to the every-two-weeks schedule.

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch
I said
"Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry"
The man proceeded to beat the shit out of me

Still more slots available for anyone who maybe already has made such a donation, and wants the fringe benefit to their largesse of forcing me to watch whatever they want.
Joining the cause: For the first 10 people to reply here with a verification that you donated at least $20 to a food bank, I’ll write a feature-length review of the movie of your choosing (presuming I have access to it; back-up choices may be necessary) to be completed before year end.
