I was one of those people eagerly awaiting Electric Cafe and when I finally heard it I was disappointed. It seemed like a step backwards from Computer World and Man/Machine, and the digitally/samply sound to some of it was out of place and kind of flat. Maybe I never gave the album a chance, I should listen to it…

I want to see "The Magic of Oil Painting" with Richard Upton Picton. He'll have the "almighty fan brush" and the "brush that man was not meant to know".

I got him a card, a nice landscape by Pickman.

He ripped off The Outrage, too.

They want the option of more boxes is my guess. And I agree - Electric Cafe was surprisingly "meh".

I like the scene where Clarence is drowned in a wine barrel just before the elevator collapses and the cable shears through the floor.

That's called "Swift booting"

QBert filed a suit, but it was in gibberish.

I loved the novel, but I last read it when I was still doing a lot of drugs and I worry that I wouldn't appreciate it as much on re-reading.

@Donny - they found out I was emptying out the bottles of Skin So Soft and refilling them with my own urine.

I just got fired and I'm self-employed. Go figure.

Wow, you're really perceptive.

I'd watch a Miyazaki movie that was just one of his old ones with all the animation and dialog removed, so you're just watching the backgrounds and listening to the score.

Great
All my favourite things in one place.

Yippee
That is all.

I have a soft spot for Scanners because it was the first Cronenberg I saw. Lack does suck but Ironsides is at his Jack Nicholson's non-union Mexican counterpart best.
1. Videodrome
2. Dead Ringers
3. The Fly
4. The Brood
5. The Dead Zone

What, no love for Scanners?

He's also a pretty funny guy in interviews. I remember he did a bumper for Bravo was it where he was making a prank call and giving his name as Atom Egoyan, which always made me laugh.

In a movie of great scenes, this one is my favourite; a painful, painful scene, and the very first one I think of when I so much as see the title of the movie.
