And this from a fellow who LIKES Atari Teenage Riot? pffft! Take a look
at Videodrome and tell me Come to Daddy was not inspired by it. I won't
even try to defend Naked Lunch and Crash as they are both works of art
and I feel stand on their own as such. During the holiday season while
the family is visiting, I do suggest trying to dig up some of the
horribly mangled and out of print video copies of Croenenbergs early
work floating around at the smaller video stores. Particularly The
Brood, with its snowy canadian landscapes and sexless mutant
manifestations of psychic energy its the perfect film for the holidays.
Watch the movie, you'll see :)
