VIDEODROME (1983) Interviews with David Cronenberg, James Woods, Rick Baker and Deborah Harry

"the television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. therefore, whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. therefore, television is reality, and reality is less than television" this is one of my favorite films, no question Share this quote

Basically McLuhan through Cronenberg. Not a bad representation of McLuhan's general sentiment.

[@KinchStalker]

The phrase "ahead of its time" is overused, but it undeniably applies to Videodrome.

[@plasticweapon]

meh.

[@georgemartin4354]

Cronenberg like all great artists are prophets

Outstanding upload. Cronenberg is brilliant and underrated.

[@aaronwarman71]

Videodrome will always be a cult classic, excellent plot, brilliant cast, everyone just plays their part flawlessly and create this masterpiece together.

[@Briteside1159]

Debbie Harry looks amazing in the movie! xxxxxx

[@asdesai-93]

great thing about him is he leaves people to their own interpretation of the movie. it's really hard to do that

[@kotep777]

need more of this footage!

[@ArinKambitsis]

Was cronenberg talking about Cannibal Holocaust when he mentioned animals being killed? I think that was very much a topic of conversation in Hollywood at the time this was made.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

The way I see it, this movie is all about the extreme upside and downside of entertainment. People like Oblivion, believe that something like Television and VHS would be superb at not only communication, but also a way of sharing power with the world and in effect help the world. Whereas Convex sees it as a weapon that needs to be used on his enemies. All Max wanted to do was make a few bucks on providing risque entertainment and he ends up going from Patsy to hero in his own fucked up way.

I'm strongly considering writing my honours thesis on this and Existenz, I think it's a very weird and interesting film.

[@owenmorris9247]

Izaak Gray did you do it?

[@MyTimeOutt]

I hope it went well for you. Today, in this strange year of 2020, I watched this film for the very 1st time & feel that it still applies.

[@atti97]

Long live the new flesh!

[@Zombiesnyder13]

David Cronenberg declined directing Return of the Jedi

[@anaquaticowl269]

Too bad, I've always wondered what melting ewoks would look like

[@zetetick395]

Videodrome: The 1980s version of Onion Router! XD This is a _fascinating_ look into some of the production history behind the _freaky as fuck_ *Videodrome* - Back when Cronenberg was a genuinely subversive movie-maker!

[@sliat1981]

What is Videodrome aboot?

[@McD_James]

A series of VHS tapes containing a scientifically engineered malignant signal that causes hallucinations.

[@sliat1981]

It was a joke

[@alexmorrison9156]

you better watch it

[@alexmorrison9156]

you better watch it

[@zetetick395]

It's about entering the New Day with flickering cathode ray tube sunshine!

[@michal19841]

for me its a film about abusing . Whatever it is., TV, sex ,religion , alcohol . Its a human thing.

[@plasticweapon]

[@scottvska]

Cronenberg looks like Harrison Ford.

[@waynetoscano7000]

James Woods is smarter than Albert Einstein

[@j.sterling9167]

Videodrome would have been a better horror movie had it not had all the gory special effects, re-written it could be about mind control thru Television.
