Willow ,'Him'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The characterization of the wife had me spitting nails, but since the film is told almost completely through the husband's POV, it was impossible for me to figure out whether I should be angry at Viggo for thinking of her that way, or Cronenberg for writing her that way.
That's probably unresolvable since Cronenberg's major area of interest since VIDEODROME onward has been how an individual's perception shapes that individual's reality, whatever passes for objective reality be damned.
Huh. Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh named as Executive Producers of "Halo" movie. [link]

You need to see Videodrome. Also a key cyberpunk text. Also, young Debby Harry.

Also, IIRC, young NAKED Debbie Harry.

The Fly.
Rabid!
Dead Ringers!
Which I still think was Jeremy Irons' best work.
The Brood!
