Great idea, make a movie about a videogame in the style of corny, poorly acted and badly plotted videogame cutscenes. Great execution, get the laffs by playing it totally straight. A+ high fives all round.

^^ couldn't believe this was the approach they'd taken when i started watching it, seems like a concept that would go badly wrong but they nail it

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 23:39 (seventeen years ago)

There are some deliberately bad accents with varying badness depending on which twist is in play. At the very end, I think Jude Law reverts to his natural speaking voice. I'm pretty sure this was intentional.

when people ask me what cronenberg to watch i usually recommend dead ringers but really i want to say existenz

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:01 (seventeen years ago)

existenz is always the right answer

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:03 (seventeen years ago)

yah but people might think its dumb and hate david cronenberg forever - i figure you know they can work their way up to it but its not beginner material

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:05 (seventeen years ago)

fwiw this is the only cronenberg movie i have ever seen

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:07 (seventeen years ago)

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:08 (seventeen years ago)

a seedy flick through the novel at minor age is all you need

country matters, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:09 (seventeen years ago)

some of that shit is burned into my skull

country matters, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:09 (seventeen years ago)

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:12 (seventeen years ago)

my parents bought me a DVD player for my birthday in 1999 and this and dark city were the first DVDs i ever bought.

Lamp, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:13 (seventeen years ago)

srsly when i was 16 i thought this was the best movie of all time, no joke.

Lamp, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:14 (seventeen years ago)

this ex-bro made me watch the extended cut of fellowship of the ring and i said motherfucker we will now watch one movie multiple times to cumulatively equal the length of that lobotomy you just made me watch and that movie will be existenz which makes the matrix looks like childs play imo!!

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:15 (seventeen years ago)

have found online stream, will possibly join the club

country matters, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:16 (seventeen years ago)

16 y/o lamp otm

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 01:16 (seventeen years ago)

"makes the matrix look like childs play imo!!" is a totally horrible way to describe a film, I would expect something completely abominable from that

Ted: But you know, I do feel the urge to kill someone here.
Allegra: Who?
Ted: I need to kill our waiter.
Allegra: Oh. Well that makes sense. Um, waiter! Waiter!

Ted: eXistenZ is paused!

^^^^^^^^ so many roffles at this line

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 03:32 (seventeen years ago)

yeah that line and its immediate slapstick payoff are terrific

TOMBOT, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 03:49 (seventeen years ago)

Wait, what was wrong with crash? I didn't like it but I don't have any reasons why, except maybe I was expecting spader to literally hump a car. Existenz is great but there's a lot of crumminess/canadianness? in it that it felt like watching stargate-sg1 sometimes.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 22:19 (seventeen years ago)

HOOS if you like this you need to see Videodrome

You go, Squirrel TM (latebloomer), Monday, 15 December 2008 08:37 (seventeen years ago)

eXiZ is classic material imo

Watching this right now. So hilariously, amazingly good.
