Agreed, but I still thought A History of Violence was pretty great. Spider was decent, definitely not one of Cronenbergs best. This thread made me bust out The Brood.

Ross, any interest in checking this out this weekend?

Naked Lunch and eXistenZ are my two favorite Cronenberg films, though I also love Dead Ringers and Crash. One of the genius writers/directors, imo.

I'm down, and yes I do. Apparently it hit theaters on the 19th of this month. I know it's playing in Boston. We can try to figure out what other theaters might be showing it, and where we'd prefer to go.
turns out I was thinking of that other movie Crash...
I'm gonna look into the Cronenberg Crash..and never seen Dead Ringers.
There really dosen't seem to be a lot of grey area when it comes to Crash. People either seem to love it or hate it with every ounce of their being. I'm in the former. You'll never look at a scar on someones leg the same way again.
Dead Ringers is essential stuff. Amazing performance(s) from Jeremy Irons.
This is a Cronenberg related thread. He is more important than you. Either stay on topic or do kindly GTFO.

On the subject of Cosmopilis, I really hope my local cinema actually gets it. They only showed A Dangerous Method for like a week and by the time I actually found out it was too late.

Another thing, I know I fucked up the spelling in the above post, but theres been no mention of Shivers or Rabid in this thread. Both awesome flicks.

Mr. R. Trioxin did happen to mention Rabid earlier in the thread.
I've wanted to re-watch it for a while now, because I keep hearing people say things like this, but something happened to my VHS and it won't play after about 10 minutes in :c I guess I should just netflix it.
