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
