Cronenberg's The Brood (1979) has only gotten better over the years. What a fascinating concept...and the ending is mind-blowing.

Werner Herzog: They created something worse than a man, worse than the dead, worse than a ghost. A man, who remembers dying. A man who cannot die, who cannot truly feel fear and so cannot truly live. Tragedy incarnate. Sisyphus made flesh.

The sick Reform fake news machine is in full swing on Facebook. The latest fake story is Nigel Farage visiting a "poor girl cancer victim" as her "dying wish". It never happened. It is actually a boy who died from cancer in October last year by the name of Branson Blevin.
