I had added this film to my 'want to watch' list. What I do is I go to netflix, and find which movies on my list are on netflix. This one happened to be avalible.

I had no idea what this film was about all I knew was it was trippy. I was instantly enthralled with the story as soon as I found out what the drug of choice was. I thought it was hilarious, and quite disgusting to say the... read more

AMAZINGLY AWESOME - YES YES YES! Now I definitely have to read the book. This was alike to Existenz and Videodrome (other Cronenbergians) but even spectacularly better! So stylish and well done. This one has class. ♥

"15.3 PC Oli vitun hyvä idea alkaa katsomaan tätä keskellä yötä enkkuteksteillä. Olihan tää visuaalisesti upea ja mielestäni kirjaa parempi, mikäli näitä nyt kannattaa edes toisiinsa vertailla."

Two Thumbs Up For Siskel & Ebert! (10 movies items)

" Roger Ebert: I admire what Cronenberg and Weller and Davis have done here. It's a very good job. It is a brilliant job. It is one of the most unpleasant movies I've ever seen and I hated most of it. I admire what he did...and I hate it! Gene Siskel : Okay...strange. Sometimes Ebert is torn between his appreciation for a picture's objective artistry and his personal distaste for other things in it. I doubt that conflict has ever inspired a more amusing statement than his attempt to convey how"

Movie Diary (654 movies items)

" I can think of at least two things wrong with that title. - Nelson Muntz, The Simpsons I'm unfamiliar with the work of William Burroughs so I don't now how much of the homophobia was from David Cronenberg and how much was from Burroughs. Will Lee (Burroughs) hates how he isn't 'normal' or heterosexual; when he addresses his homosexuality he talks to his cockroach typewriter who has a gaping and pulsating asshole for a mouth and when he has sex with Kiki the film shows him eating Mugwump jizz.
