Unemployment Viewing Continued...

Since the last post, I've seen a couple more films from the flats "video library" recently. The theme here is "self-destructive rock stars"...

Sid & Nancy: The story of Sid Vicious' (Sex Pistols bassist) descent into heroin abuse after falling for Nancy Spungen, a groupie, who is also a junkie. Not bad. Got a bit grim towards the end as the heroin addiction took hold of the couple.
Rating 3/5.

The Doors: Story of The Doors' rise to success and Jim Morrison's descent into drug and alcohol abuse. This film is primarily about Jim Morrison, and is very well made, with Val Kilmer's performance (as Morrison) top-notch. Oliver Stone directs.
Rating 4/5

I've got this daft theory, that perhaps all the films in the video library can be linked (by which actors/actresses they have in common), to form a chain. Once linked, this chain will represent something, e.g. perhaps the first letter of each title, when spelled out, will make up a "magic phrase".

Or perhaps not, and maybe unemployment is driving me mad.

I'll give it a go anyway.

Give him a break - in The Doors, he didn't just play Jim Morrison, he became him. Oh, and he was good in Willow.

If anyone needs to be taken away by aliens, it's Britney Spears!
