  The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle 1980

  ★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  Less the experimental masterpiece some have made it to be. More so a collection of unrelated scenes jumbled together by people who clearly had no idea how to make a film. It’s not chaotic because it’s meant to match the music. It’s just shite.

  One woman says that she analysed satellite images and says she saw the planes nose in the South China Sea. How does she know it’s the nose cone? She doesn’t explain. What are her credentials? She’s a hobbyist photographer, so apparently that makes her qualified to identify pieces of broken up airplane in…
