It was kind of a apocalyptic spin on McLuhan media theories.

is that supposed to force him to hold the gun? It could still slip right out the top of his grip

whoa that looks so real, how did they do it?

>"Long live the new flesh"

What did he mean by this?

Videodrome and The Brood are his best films.
Both are thickly layered in meaning and still highly entertaing (search the web for articles).
Long live the new flesh!

I know it's just a meme, but "future cant be stopped, only embraced". Also, a mantra to the memefying power of TV.

Nope. It was the beginning of the transformation into the new flesh.

I like the concept of a harmful TV show and hallucinations becoming reality. I wish society would go back to exploring concepts such as weaponized memes and literal dangerous information.

>weaponized memes
That already exists in the form of ideology.

Fuck you

Only watch The Fly and Videodrome. Nothing else even comes close to comparing.

care to elaborate on that objectively wrong statement?

It's too real.

Mass shootings are basically memes.

The Brood
Crash
They Came From Within
Eastern Promises
Cosmopolis

To name a few.

Suicide Club fits this.

Theres always SCPs.

I can't even remember the plot of this. I saw it a few years ago, but zero memories. The fuck?

Rick Baker

It's Rick Baker, bitch!

>What is essential Cronenkino?

I haven't seen this one. I've seen Scanners and it was pretty tame and slow-paced for most of it, but good. I expect this to be similar, but the premise can't seem to hook me. Am I wrong?

Is Kronen still making movies?
