I remember this movie from when I was a kid. I didn't think much of it back then, but now I see how f*cked up it is watching these clips.

This is my favorite film of all-time. My wife's too, which makes her rock even harder since every one else I've ever tried to watch it with thought it sucked. I treat that three disc Criterion box set like a baby...anyone who loves the movie needs to own it.

QUOTE (The Notorious B.S.G. @ Aug 30 2004, 11:58 AM) My thoughts for casting (sorry about all the Jeff's, just a coincidence): Jeff Daniels as Lerxst - good combination of goofy and serious, would need to add a couple pounds Jeff Goldblum as Geddy - Semitic good looks, serious actor Jeff Bridges as Neil - intense actor, has played characters dealing with loss, see the excellent flick "Fearless" about a plane crash survivor who comes to feel invincible, and mocks the almighty, walking the "razor's edge". The movie also features the Most Gorgeous Woman on the Planet - Isabella Rossillini (sp). the guy from the X-files the lonegunmen looks just like Geddy Lee http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/21/74/0000002174_20060919153816.jpg   Dye his hair black and it's the f***ing picture from Permanent Waves.

I can't break it down either, but a few of my favorites

 

Al Pacino

Toshiro Mifune

Bruce Campbell

Christopher Walken

Don Cheadle

QUOTE (Mustard Death @ Oct 4 2007, 12:15 PM) I really need to go see this one while it's still in theaters... I also need to go rent more of Cronenberg's other films. Only ones I've seen are Scanners and A History of Violence... but Naked Lunch looks really, really awesome. Naked Lunch is so truly and wonerfully f*cked up. I so need to own this on dvd. Criterion has been very kind to Cronenberg. The Naked Lunch and Videodrome DVDs are amazing. The booklet that comes with Naked Lunch is worth the price alone.

I guess if you're going to be a complete douche you might as well not half-ass it.

Donkey boner!

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Sep 23 2007, 11:20 AM) Personally, I LOVE the caveman commercials.  My wife looks at me like I'm nuts when I laugh out loud for like 30 seconds every single time the psychiatrist caveman commercial comes on with Talia Shire. If it's written well enough a show can transcend a mediocre concept, but if written badly a show can blow a great concept.  I don't know the hard figures, but I would imagine most new shows starting in the fall fail because they fail to capture a big enough audience, EVEN if they happen to be well-written shows based on a great premise. The fact that it's got a built in audience in a sense will make a lot of people watch the first episode out of curiosity.  Whether they keep watching or not will all be up to how well it's made.  Even still it's a real longshot. I would love it to succeed (if it's well written and funny), but if I had to put money on it, I'd say it almost definitely will NOT succeed. I watched half an episode last night, i could'nt take a second longer. This has got to rank as one of the worst television shows is the history of television, its unwatchable ! I give it two wheels and a boulder down ! Yeah, it was worse than expected. I watched about ten minutes then put in a movie I've seen at least 15 times (Akira).

QUOTE (Slaine mac Roth @ Oct 2 2007, 09:38 AM) I'm going to have to put up my hand and say that I'm not a Tarantino fan either.  Then again, I'm not really that much of a Cronenberg fan but that's mainly due to limited familiarity - History of Violence (which I really enjoyed), Scanners and Videodrome (both of which  I thought were fair enough) and The Fly (which left me cold - Al Heddison rules!). The subject of violence in film is atouchy one and will be argued about until the end of time.  I've gone on record, elsewhere, to articulate my distaste for the current 'gorenography' trend in cinema at the moment but, on the other hand, have thoroughly enjoyed other films where the violence fully suits the plot. Scanners & Videodrome were in his early B-movie horror phase, and while good for what they are, are hardly indicative of what came later. The Fly I thought was great, but I actually find it too disgusting to watch now. I never saw the original. Cronenberg also directed The Dead Zone (Stephen King story starring Christopher Walken).   If you enjoyed History of Violence, you should also enjoy Eastern Promises. Still my fave movies by him though are Crash, Naked Lunch and eXistenZ - REALLY weird movies. eXistenZ should also really appeal to sci-fi fans. I agree about Scanners (along with Shivers and The Brood), but not Videodrome. While it's not nearly the mindfuck that Naked Lunch is, it's far from a horror b-movie. The Criterion DVD is just about the best DVD in my whole collection.   Dead Ringers is another favorite...ahhh, I think I need to have a Cronenberg movie night...minus Fast Company.

I'll take Cronenberg's weird movies over just about anything, but I like both. I also really dig Park Chan-wook and Takashi Miike. Izo is insane. I love some of the comments on it's imdb page:

I'm a fan. The box set looks awesome, definitely gotta get that.

Loved it too. Cronenberg had me at Videodrome.

I thought the last few minutes of Blair Witch Project were cool. That last shot was good, but too bad the movie was boring for the most part. I think a young kid who believes it's real would get a lot more enjoyment out of it though...at least my cousin did.

Holy shit, that's awesome anyway, but incredible for MS Paint. I can barely draw stick figures with it.
