Fuck You 8

Die Krupps, 2018

The man with no conscience

Made a promise to his base

That dreams will come true for all collars of blue

A future he’s building on debts

Like his golden empire of excess

You claim to be our saviour

You’re a superstar of failure

You’re dangerously incompetent

The damage will be permanent

The man with no conscience

Wants to build a wall

Isolate and segregate

A wake-up call for all

Visions of swastikas in my head

You know what I’m getting at

You think you’re a master

You’re the king of disaster

There has been no precedent

The damage will be permanent

You claim to be our saviour

You’re a superstar of failure

You’re dangerously incompetent

The damage will be permanent

You think you’re a master

You’re the king of disaster

There has been no precedent

The damage will be permanent

Fuck You!

Down, Out & Dangerous

Directed by Noel Nosseck, 1995

All it takes is one shitty neighbour...

Brad, a happily married business man, gives some money to a beggar to buy something to eat and is persuaded to take him home to help clear his garden up. His neighbour from hell, Calvin, has forced him to spend $6,000 demolishing the fence that is 56 inches over onto his land. The guy even cuts the branches of the tree that are hanging over his 56 inches of land. when Brad punches him a judge issues a restraining order. But this 'disturbed drifter' stirs up trouble by throwing pieces of fence onto the neighbour's land. Which results in his death - because he finished the guy off in secret. And then persuades Brad not to go to the police but make out he died at home - having carried the body into the guy's own kitchen.

Tim sets about blackmailing Brad, who believes that he was responsible for his neighbour's death. He's out to take everything he has, including his wife and house. He gets him fired but fails to break up their marriage. And kills two other people who get in the way. Brad's best friend is a journalist. He does some brave snooping around and, while he does not quite get to the police in time, at least they finally realise what's been going on and whom is behind these deaths: a ruthless stoke broker ho certainly did lose everything he had once he was convicted for the deaths of a man and wife. A psychotic killer who somehow evaded justice and became an anonymous beggar without a traceable identity.

A very intense, gripping drama that is only let down by two coincidences that simply wouldn't happen in real life. Still, it's only a story!

Starring Richard Thomas as Tim Willows and Bruce Davison as Brad Harrington
