Title: Recently Viewed Crap Post by: Warren H. on February 27, 2001, 03:46:54 PM The Brood
Uh, ok, so when a woman gets angry she gives birth to a monster child which kills the object of her rage. Yeah, sure. Cronenberg isn't at his best here; the movie felt like something he made just because he had nothing better to do. The typical Cronenberg unhappy ending to this one really ticked me off. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker Awesome. Great animation, great voice cast, great music. Gets cheesy a couple of times, but manages to be the best American animated film I've seen in a while. Title: Re: Recently Viewed Crap Post by: Chadzilla on February 27, 2001, 05:32:10 PM I have to say I really like The Brood, it's my favorite Cronenberg (next in line is Videodrome). Evidently the source of his inspiration was a hellish divorce that he had just gone through, which accounts for the movie's over all light hearted tone. He calls it his version of Kramer versus Kramer.
I have yet to see Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, but my kid sure liked it and love the show (especially the title credit sequence...groovy) Title: Re: Recently Viewed Crap Post by: Stupid Jacob on February 27, 2001, 07:47:25 PM Batman Beyond kicks ass three ways to sunday. It was pretty disturbing for a kids cartoon. 'Specially what happens to Drake.

Title: Re: Teletubbies and The Brood Post by: Chadzilla on February 28, 2001, 07:02:37 PM I've been telling everyone who would listen, and quite a few who won't, that whomever came up with the Teletubbies was watching David Cronenberg's The Brood while on acid at the time the idea hit them.
Title: Re: Teletubbies and The Brood Post by: Squishy on February 28, 2001, 08:11:29 PM From "The Simpsons": Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are watching the little freaks on TV.
Teletubby: "Tee hee hee...Hurt. Every. One." Lisa: "Did Ga-Ga just say 'hurt everyone'?" Bart: "Ga-Ga. Cute name." |
