psychosexual cold war horror that spirals backwards into future questions of online identity and pseudo-fictional violence. there is a terrifying prescience to videodrome's vhs snuff films and the modern proliferation of extreme pornography, both at first shocking then normal then passe in the escalating search for greater stimulation. videodrome's most effective scenes are its least flashy: max renn casually watching torture tapes in his shitty apartment; workplace harassment while debating which porn to buy; attempts to write the whole thing off as capitalist brain worms. he is a gross, read more

film 14 of obligatory october of horror honestly, i can't really describe this film. it's really weird, it's kind of cheesy and kind of cool with some gnarly practical effects.

I too like to store stuff in my stomach vagina. read more

Liked it more than I did the first time. Still dont like that white mans face read more

30 day movie challenge Не знаю насколько свежо и тонко это было в 83м, но сейчас, когда челику под видом метафоры в пузо вставляють кассету, и типа так тв насаждает нам всякие идеи. Ну хз, это выглядеть очень толсто и пошло. read more

اصالة الفكرة اللي مبني عليها الفيلم اجمد بكثير من فكرة فيلم they live تبشيرية بالسودواية العدمية من دماغ كروننبرغ تبشيرية في ايه - مشاهد تعذيب سجن ابو غريب -مشاهد ضحايا داعش -مناظر القمع والضرب والانتهاك اللي بقت مباحة وكل ده عشان تكون في قلب الحدث وبقى فيه اعتيادية والفة على الدموية ده نوع من الاغتصاب وانتهاك للعفول، وده اتصور بمشهد في الفيلم ازاي اتحكموا في ماكس رين في الفيلم، شكل الجرح في جسده، وطريقة الانتهاك مش عارفه هشوف زيها تاني كدا ولا لا في اي فيلم والنتيجة الاعلام دلوقتي بقى كله videodrome وزي ما قال ممدوح عدوان في كتابه حيونة الانسان نحن لا نتعود يا أبي إلا إذا مات شيء فينا، وتصور... read more
