I'm intrigued by that film, less because it's by Cronenberg but because I really like the novel it's based on. |

Carry on at Your Convenience is by far the best, and might be the last film we watched, for the XXXth time.

And it was fucking great. I can't believe it took me so long to notice this movie. It might have had something to do with the ultra lame US poster: |

Marie Antoinette On a bit of a Sofia Coppola kick at the moment. This is an easy film to dislike. It definitely tries a bit too hard to tick as many 'cool' boxes as possible but I liked it nonetheless, even if it really doesn't amount to much more than a two hour music video. |

drive wasn't horrible, but it could have been 20 minutes long. so many scenes where absolutely NOTHING happened.

^el symbols^ Yeah, you're probably right. I have a really tough time disliking films by directors I'm generally a big fan of. Although I did wonder when watching it last night if I'd even bother to sit through it if she hadn't made it. And the answer is probably no. And speaking of boyfriends, I think she was going out with Tarantino at the time she made it, so we can at least console ourselves by blaming him. Obviously, had she gone out with me it would've been a masterpiece.

DEAR WORLD, FUCK CRONENBERG! 1- It's one of Delillo's best novels. Why wouldn't you want to read one of Delillo's best novels? 2- It's a short novel. Are you too stupid to read 200 pages? 3- Wouldn't you rather create a rich film-like thing in your head, rather than turning off your imagination and relying on Cronenberg's brain? 4- Cronenberg gets good source material, hires talented people, and then sits back and collects the accolades. What a tit. 5- Delillo is an artist. Cronenberg is a profit-maker. READ THE BOOK! |

I agree with the first part but what's stopping people reading the book once they've found out about it via the film? I'm sure Delillo will sell more copies now that Cronenberg has adapted it. |

If Cronenberg really was only about the money he'd choose a far more bankable novelist to adapt than Delillo.

He's created a niche for himself in the marketplace, Cronenberg has.
He and his producers can roughly figure out how many people will see a particular film, budged accordingly, and take home a fat check at the end of the day. It doesn't matter if it will only be a few mil for Spider or more for existenz. Profit is profit. Delillo follows his muse, even when he doesn't fully understand it himself. He's a poet on a journey, a true artist for our time, a voice piecing sense from wilderness, and does not consider money when putting sentences together. Let me put it this way: Delillo would exist without Cronenberg; Cronenberg wouldn't exist without Delillo. (Or Ballard. Or Burroughs. etc.) (I'm just fucking with you all. existenz was a great movie, Delillo's FALLING MAN sucked shit.) But seriously, read COSMOPOLIS. |
