For the love of all things that are Holy...please don’t make Harrison Ford run in this new movie. He couldn’t run at 30...80 is just cruel.

Lesson being: never fly with Sean Connery as your gunner.

How did I miss all these years that Porkins and that “Top... Men” guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark were portrayed by the same actor?

I thought they were going to put this avante-garde metamorphosis of human organs universe stuff right onto Disney Plus? 

Long live the new flesh old Cronenberg!

“a performance artist who enters a chrysalis to showcase the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances.”

I’ve liked some of his more recent films, but I am very excited to see Cronenberg get back to his “body horror” roots. Maybe seeing his son making these kinds of films lately got his horror juices flowing again.
