Looking back at David Cronenberg’s Rabid
29 March 2012 5:01 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Our look back at the movies of David Cronenberg continues with 1977’s Rabid, a typically personal take on the vampire movie…
If Cronenberg’s first commercial feature Shivers was a venereal take on the zombie genre, his follow-up, 1977’s Rabid, applies the same preoccupations of sexuality and disease to the vampire movie.
In fact, Rabid is remarkably similar to Shivers in several ways. A scientific breakthrough goes awry, turning a young woman into a crazed, blood-sucking killer. Her victims, in turn, are infected with the same bloodlust, and the disease gradually spreads throughout Montreal.
The reasons for this narrative similarity are probably because Cronenberg began to make Rabid so close to the completion of his first film. With Shivers proving unexpectedly successful for exploitation specialists, Cinepix (propelled as it was by no small amount of controversy), the company immediately asked the director if he had another ideas. Rabid originally began as something called Mosquito, »
Stanley Kubrick’s Titles In Search of A Script
20 February 2012 5:58 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The late, great Stanley Kubrick earned notoriety for many things over a nearly 50-year career, chief among them the sluggish pace at which he developed and, most importantly, completed projects. There are a few uncompleted efforts we all know of — Lunatic at Large, Napoleon, and Aryan Papers being the main three — but there are, in reality, any number of half-thought projects he threw around at one point or another. (Not a joke: I would kill your mother to see his Beatles-starring Lord of the Rings adaptation.)
But even us Kubrickphiles don’t have a full grip on just how many stray ideas were kept inside his giant brain. While merely a fun collection that would, in all likelihood, never lead to a feature film whose aspect ratio is debated to the point where you want to put a rattlesnake’s head in your mouth, a new, comprehensive volume on the »

Stanley Kubrick's “Titles in Search of a Script” List
20 February 2012 4:30 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's an interesting and fun list that was recently brought to my attention. Apparently, director Stanley Kubrick kept a list of movie titles that he would have liked to one day turn into a script and possible film. The list he kept was called "Titles In Search Of A Script", and it was revealed by Kubrick’s personal assistant Tony Frewin. There is a bit of added commentary that explains where the titles came from.
Check out the list, and let us know which ones you would like to see get turned into a movie.
I Married An Armenian: Said matter-of-factly to us by a woman publicist. Stanley thought it a great title for a 1940s-style Warner Bros. musical. If Only The FÜHRER Knew!: This was a common saying in Germany in the 1930s whenever something went wrong or somebody did something wrong. Used mockingly with the eyes looking upwards. »

'Home and Away' Emily Symons "at peace" with not having kids
18 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Home and Away star Emily Symons has confessed that she has come to terms with not having children. The actress, who plays Marilyn Chambers in the Australian soap, split from second husband Lorenzo Smith in 2005 after two unsuccessful IVF attempts. However, losing her mum to breast cancer in May 2010 helped her to gain a new perspective on the situation, Symons told the Herald Sun. "I spent a lot of my 30s being so anguished about not having a baby," she said. "Then you realise life is really too short. When you spend a lot of time on a cancer ward, it makes the baby thing seem irrelevant. There's a longing and a biological need to have a baby that I don't think men have. "But the flip side is that IVF can take over your life. It gets to the point where you're so desperate to have a baby, everything »

The Top 5 Sexiest Succubi in Movies
27 January 2012 1:00 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
The legend of the succubus -- a demon who takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men to death -- is, at its root, pretty misogynistic. But in recent decades, the archetype has changed, and women are as victimized by succubi as the men they devour. In fact, the succubus has evolved to the point where it's often a metaphor for female empowerment, or, as on Syfy's new Lost Girl, a hero. Good or bad, however, succubi are quite easy on the eyes. After the jump, check out five film favorites. Rose Perhaps the first modern movie succubus who's more victim than victimizer, Rose (played by adult film star Marilyn Chambers) is a young woman who's injured in a motorcyle accident in David »
Lost Sounds and Soundtracks. David Cronenberg's "Rabid"

Hypnotic, sinister, minimal, and with just a stuttered chill of sterile, sci-fi futurism—I've always thought Cronenberg got very lucky during his low-budget days to discover and license such a stylistically fitting track of stock library music for his 1977 horror production, Rabid. Still two years shy of the beginning of his incredibly fruitful, career-long collaboration with Howard Shore, Cronenberg eschewed the psychological complexities that those modernist scores would immediately imbue upon the unlucky characters of The Brood and beyond, and instead got a simple, repetitive track from Kpm Music's in-house composer Brian Bennett which would become Rabid's leitmotif of growing paranoia amidst a virulent venereal apocalypse.
