This film left a lasting impression on me and was way ahead of its time. It really makes me cringe when people talk about non-linear storytelling like it's a new invention.<BR/><BR/>Amazing cinematography and sound design in this one, too.reel2reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320612410478887889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-1168829749471812392007-01-14T21:55:00.000-05:002007-01-14T21:55:00.000-05:00Sounds good- It'd throb like the tapes in Videodro...Sounds good- It'd throb like the tapes in <I>Videodrome</I> and secrete one of three hallucinogenic substances like in <I>Naked Lunch</I>.tmhooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519230948522808921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-1168804802825270202007-01-14T15:00:00.000-05:002007-01-14T15:00:00.000-05:00If anybody has ideas on how to stave off disaster,...<I>If anybody has ideas on how to stave off disaster, I'm all ears.</I><BR/><BR/>Get David Cronenberg on the line!!!!<BR/>Now I'm thinking what his secret movie-savin' hotline phone would be like.

Chronic lack of financial will and largesse is a primary culprit, but we’re also battling against a Canadian distribution system which heavily favours American and European product as well as the unfortunate, ingrained attitude that Canadian films are inherently inferior to mainstream films from Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-1168546431065894602007-01-11T15:13:00.000-05:002007-01-11T15:13:00.000-05:00Off-topic: I discovered the first two and a half m...Off-topic: <BR/><BR/>I discovered the first two and a half minutes of <I>Idiocracy</I> on Ebaums. <BR/><BR/>http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2007/01/why-idiots-prevail.htmlAlex Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028946403342782184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-1168507756230969722007-01-11T04:29:00.000-05:002007-01-11T04:29:00.000-05:00Could you tell me anything about this bilingual fi...Could you tell me anything about this bilingual film <I>Bon Cop, Bad Cop</I>? I'm told that it was Canada's most successful domestic film (unadjusted for inflation), although most of its box office draw came from Quebec. If true, has there been any kind of an attempt from the Canadian film industry to capitalize on that success? And, in that case, could the vested interest in bilingual film Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-1168505055752244022007-01-11T03:44:00.000-05:002007-01-11T03:44:00.000-05:00The Pyx wasn't all that, but it had its moments of...<I>The Pyx</I> wasn't all that, but it had its moments of interest- such as an interesting structure that had cop Christopher Plummer investigating Karen Black's death, the events of which were recounted in clumsy flashbacks. Not brilliant, but it was trying.

At the time they used the review as a platform to lobby for a new transfer, but unless you're a Canadian horror movie that happens to be named <I>Black Christmas</I>, it's an uphill battle.
