what about Scanners, eXistenZ, Videodrome, etc ?

scanners and videodrome I like tooooo

I don;t need to use Extenz

I'd take eXistenZ over the Matrix any time.

existenz is good too.

you know what grosses me out in the Matrix?
when they show Keanu Reeves in the matrix, his fucking 5 o'clock shadow is fucking green! it looks so gross. like he is a diseased candle.

the Matrix was pretty yawn. eXistenZ is the shiz. Remember when they made those guns out of the skeletons of those little aliens? That was badass.

it's chicken bones! chicken!!

i roasted a turkey this past weekend that i could have made a whole cronenberg arsenal from it. i'm talking shotguns, rocket launchers, antiaircraft guns.

bones it was.

 

Never gets old, beautiful film.

eXistenZ is cool but definitely not my 'go to' when in the mood for Cronenberg.

yeah that's his worst film, I'd rather watch fast company honestly. Jude Law is awful.

Re: Rob's list. I hate Hardware and Strange Days so much. Some of those aren't sci-fi.

If you're into stuff like Tetsuo-ish cyberpunk stuff, check out DEATH POWDER, RUBBER'S LOVER, and especially PINNOCHIO 964.

bones, see:

yeah we heard ya. It's been a while since I've watched it.

i have a touch of the ocd. it's an itch i MUST scratch.

it was pornographic and had no title but i guarantee it was better than any movie already mentioned on this page.

adam, you don't like Hardware? The fuck?

I like eXistenZ quite a bit. Though I'm in the minority. I certainly think it's better and more rewatchable than say History of Violence. Not that that's a bad movie, but... jeez, even Spider is kind of boring to me in comparison.

Spider is great, though it feels like a ripoff of Clean, Shaven (one of the best films of all time).

Yeah, Hardware sucks. Didn't know it had any fans... Boring and pointless, felt like an extended version of the end of the first Terminator movie. Really just one of the most dull movies I've ever seen, only reccomendable for the weird atmosphere, the odd colors, and Iggy Pop's voice cameo.

I also hate that director's other film DUST DEVIL. Aside from a few nice experimental sequences, that has to be one of the most boring films of all time.

never saw/heard of Dust Devil.

Well, heh, you might like it, since you like Hardware.

Dust Devils is far better than Hardware, although considering how shit Hardware is that's something that could be said about almost any film.

Totally! His analysis of that film is brilliant.
