Interesting. The other week when someone mentioned "Behind the Bell," the book about Saved by the Bell I did a google image search for Showgirls and found a list of the top 50 cult films. Faces of Death Volume 1 was ranked 50th. http://www.filmsite.org/cultfilmsew2.html Last night I was at a party and we were talking about movies. The topic of Faces of Death came up. Today I found this link that shows the movie and has a documentary about what is fact and fiction in the movie. It's sort of an interesting film I guess.http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-5590832799604062499&hl=en&autoplay=1

^You're welcome I guess. The movie is actually kind of stupid, but interesting to watch once.

8/24/2009 3:12:28 PM
^True.

The internet was the death of the novelty song and the mondo film.

I remember the first time I saw it in high schoolthat video of the dude on the news shooting himself in the head freaked me the fuck out

One of my friends who was a journalism major at UNC wrote a couple of papers about Budd Dwyer's suicide for an ethics class.

The interesting part is that I don't think anyone really knows how much is real and how much is a reenactment.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=860c9b9f3b&p=1Here is the Bud Dwyer suicide[Edited on August 24, 2009 at 3:35 PM. Reason : .]

I remember back when snuff like this was edgy and not something that could be easily viewed.
