It Is Time to Stop Seeing! It Is Time to Stop Speaking! It Is Time to Start Listening! David Cronenberg’s ‘CRIMES OF THE FUTURE’ Trailer is HERE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVX7df79BNo Trailer looks nuts. I love his dark slices into utopia's sheen. The drugs that keep us happy in the hippodrome splattered across the screen like horse blood and the severed limbs of charioteers. Videodrome was a huge influence on my writing. He makes tech messy and flesh malleable in the metaphysical sense that tech … Continue reading It Is Time to Stop Seeing! It Is Time to Stop Speaking! It Is Time to Start Listening!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux0fwRMl-vA I was compelled to rewatch Igby Goes Down after Kieran Culkin made an appearance hosting on SNL a couple weeks back. This film is like a Salinger short about fucked up rich people. They're interesting, but they are the damned. The world has ruined them by giving them too much of a good deal. … Continue reading Igby Goes Down (2002) – “I Think That You Are Much More Aware Than Even You Realize” / Pissing in the Well One Drinks From
