What if the Quaids Were Telling the Truth

Now, I don't believe them... I think they are trying to escape the monetary and judicial consequences of their own actions.

However, the idea is one which tickles my fancy. If it was a movie or a novel, it would be a fantastic premise, and it could explain a lot.

I am sure OJ Simpson would be willing to run with this idea too if he could get away with it. After all, it would be a somewhat plausible set of "real killers" that he could look for.

And it might be a surprisingly good explanation for why so many actors and musicians die when they are 27, and what happened to Natalie Wood, Tupac and Biggie.

But as I said, it is just a grand lie.

Because think about it... if such a cabal of assassins existed, would the Quaids be safe in Canada. They had apparently gotten to David Carradine in Southeast Asia, so how safe could Hollywood North be?

Hopefully David Fincher will direct a version of this premise sometime in the future, and that Oliver Stone doesn't run with it instead.
