it's a little silly, but i still really love it.

ditto, but Videodrome is still my favorite film of his (with The Brood a close second)

i agree 100%.
actually got to see videodrome on the big screen last year at the music box massacre in chicago.

it was pretty incredible.

I think The Brood is Cronenberg's masterpiece, and highly recommend it.

I'm renting Blood for Dracula and Flesh for Frankenstein... anyone see these? They look incredibly campy and fun. And criterion, too.

you pretty much said it: campy and fun.

they're completely ridiculous, but i like them.

It's a shame not to see Flesh for Frankenstein in 3-D though.

Been wanting to see that for awhile now...might have to order the Criterion version somewhere. Looks really cool.

unfortunately, criterion hasn't released it.
make sure you don't order one that claims to be criterion, cause you'll be getting ripped off.

there is a pretty great release of it here, though:

Well, that's good to know! I just saw it in the Criterion section on Deep Discount awhile back, and thus assumed that they'd released it...thanks for the heads up.
