Headache fuel
29 January 2023
If you are trying to induce a splitting headache then you should watch this film. The incessant high pitched whistling was delightful. I just love searing pain and irritating sounds while I'm watching a film as I'm sure many of us do.

The first 3 minutes were cool, then the agenda was forced in as soon as possible. There wasn't a decent character to be found. But we can't have intelligent or creative people around anymore can we Hollywood?

What a waste of potential. They even had the story written for them already. But a great writer wouldn't get hired these days. All the money in the world won't matter if you are rotting from the inside out as an industry and as individuals. Well, back to watching old films again!

If you are not a fan of Burroughs you will likely regret trying to watch this

The 9th Cronenberg film I've seen and the only one I struggled to make it 20 minutes in. The awful jazz "music" was a turnoff, as was the seediness and glorification of the overrated writer who inspired this. Go ahead and try it if you are a big Croney fan, definitely if you are a Burroughs fan due to already having a damaged brain, but otherwise steer clear. Don't say I didn't warn you!
