  1. Saw #TheSubstance & it’s a great #cronenbergian body horror but some odd choices, notably it’s placement in a Universe where social media doesn’t exist… it’s maybe 30 mins too long but the repetition feels deliberately exasperating (like the last 20 mins of #AClockworkOrange ?)… I don’t buy the ‘male gaze’ criticism I’ve seen in some reviews - yes, #margaretqualley ‘s beauty & youth is ceaselessly objectified but it seems odd to deny women the agency to desire in a film directed by a woman…

  6. Governor Hochul: "Let me repeat that: At this time, there is no indication of a terrorist-involved attack here at the Rainbow Bridge in Western New York [it’s just that type of #Ballardian or possibly #Cronenbergian shit that’s going to happen much more frequently as each of us, who think of ourselves as civilized, descends further into the kind of madness only those primates who’ve been hyperstimulated by capitalism their entire lives could ever fall prey to].” apple.news/ALYk__lrrQkK7aDAdiP

  10. CW: Top Surgery Revision

    I had no idea that undergoing a #TopSurgery revision would feel like living an outtake from Existenz or Videodrome. Surgery under local anesthetic is decidedly #Cronenbergian IMO. Body horror, but, thankfully, without the terror - if that makes sense. And, sadly, no scorching hot Debby Harry to help distract me.

    I don't know if being warned about this ahead of time would've helped prepare me or have made the whole experience even stranger.

    P.S. Lest I unintentionally frighten anyone with that analogy - despite the weirdness the procedure went well. I have an excellent surgeon who made sure I was as comfortable as possible, was very attentive about providing additional anesthetic when I needed it, and was patient with my #ExecutiveDysfunction when she asked me for a music request and my mind promptly went blank.

    Very glad that my mental librarian eventually decided to cooperate, because having music to focus on was very helpful.

  15. Megan & Mike don’t get to trash talk #TheFlyII while I’m around! Join me as I take a bug-eyed look at the comic book continuation of the #Cronenbergian body horror that has infected The #Brundle family in #TheFlyOutbreak #PrepareForPrattle pod.fo/e/152ce7
