if you've ever had the problem of trying to decide whether to watch "Scanners" or "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn" then you might have this when you flipped between channels:
"Well, rigor hasn't set in, this didn't happen too long ago Jim."
click.
"Ephemoral was taken unknowingly by millions of pregnant women."
click.
"he put.....creatures in our bodies.... to control our minds...."
click.
"you rot my successes, you suck my joy. the program is ripe and must be stopped!"
click.
"he went wild, he....slit their throats...but he was late..."
holy shit. both movies are neck 'n neck. did Cronenberg write both of them? and they're not just weird on weird, it's like they're syncronized too, if you change the channel then wait for a line to make you smile. Then change the channel, watch something crawl in an ear or burst out an eyeball. Then change the channel...etc. This is kind of like when people get high and watch "The Wizard of Oz" while listening to Dark Side of the Moon" except with 5 times the body violations.
again, i have to say how BAD Amis' book "The Information" is for me to be reading. a good book, all about this guy's unreadable shitty novel and his jealousy over his friend's bestseller and i'm at a part where i know i'm supposed to laugh but i can't. Tull is happily describing his horrible book, "Untitled" to the first person that's showed an interest and i KNOW it's supposed to be funny:
("I was worried about the penultimate bridging passages. You know: where the figment narrator pretends to attempt that series of decoy refocusings...because the travesty is a counterfeit. Not that he's really a narrator. Reliable or otherwise. But he had to be a surrogate narrator if the sham refocusings were going to seem to work.")
the problem is, the whole time i'm thinking "hmmmmm i sort of tried to do that." or i start thinking like Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein when he finds his insane grandfather's diaries:
"IT. COULD. WORK!"
thanks for the recommendation. why didn't she just give me some scissors to run with instead?
