He said Star Trek is too “philosophical”? Screw that noise.
I don’t...
I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.
– David Cronenberg

I was never much of a fan of the original Total Recall, mostly because I was at one point expecting David Cronenberg to adapt Philip K Dick’s short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, so I was fairly disappointed in the, shall we say, possibly more low-brow version Verhoeven and Schwarzenegger spewed out.
This, however, looks promising. A distinct Minority Report look and feel to it, and you never know, they may even include some of Dick’s original story in there.
“Mondo’s secret new gallery opened Saturday with a sci-fi themed show that left jaws on the floor and wallets extremely empty. Tyler Stout did his first Mondo poster since October, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, Kevin Tong did Forbidden Planet, Martin Ansin kicked off a new Terry Gilliam Director’s Series with Brazil, Jay Shaw did David Cronenberg right with The Fly and Crimes of the Future, Phantom City Creative went all George Melies with A Trip to the Moon and much, much more: Akira, Dune, War of the Worlds, Planet of the Apes, The Fountain, Real Steel, it goes on and on, 38 in total. Check out those image and more…”

“For whatever reason, most people don’t think of William Burroughs’s novel Naked Lunch as science-fiction, but really it is.”
I have never heard this opinion before.
“Martin Howard Collection of Early Typewriters.Comprised of typewriters from the very beginning of the typewriter industry (1880s & 1890s), it is the largest of its kind in Canada. The collection contains many rare and historically important typewriters, showing the remarkable diversity and beauty of the world’s first typing machines.”
This is a simply beautiful collection. (Which has reminded me that I picked up the Criterion Collection DVD of Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch a couple of weeks ago, and I really should make time to watch it…)
