Birthday is Feldman unleashed in an off-beat conspiracy, Videodrome is my favorite Cronenberg, Odyssey makes smart changes to the epic, & Hell no to caves.

positive · AI labelView post →What is your favorite David Cronenberg movie and why? Videodrome. I prefer Cronenberg when his movies were still aimed at horror fans, and he was really trying to push the boundaries of what a commercial horror film could be here.

It's insane that they thought it was a good idea to release that movie into 900 theaters when it's essentially just a horny 90 minute horny philosophical conversation

She has starred in films like David Cronenberg’s Videodrome & John Water’s Hairspray. I would have to say this is my favourite TV appearance - with Kermit the Frog.
