Very strongly reminded of "The Flying Luna Clipper," a short anthology film that serves as a compilation of video art produced by a forum of Japanese MSX video/CGI pros. You may well have seen this already but if you haven't I think this is 100% your shit

The original trailer for Alien (1979) is still one of the greatest trailers ever cut. Ridley Scott approved a near wordless montage of flashing images and that rising siren sound, created by the marketing team using the film’s own machinery audio.

“Videodrome” (1983), directed by David Cronenberg, is a surreal exploration of technology, media, and the human body. Set in a dystopian world where television broadcasts can alter reality, it delves deep into the dark intersection between violence, desire, and control. 📺🧠 The story follows Max Renn, a TV executive who discovers a mysterious broadcast signal known as “Videodrome.” As he becomes obsessed with uncovering its source, he begins to experience disturbing hallucinations that blur the line between flesh and machine. The film’s visceral imagery and philosophical undertones make it a landmark in body horror cinema. 💀📡 Videodrome remains one of Cronenberg’s most thought-provoking works, predicting the dangers of media addiction and technological manipulation long before the digital age. 🔌👁️

Happy 83rd birthday, David Cronenberg! David Cronenberg on why his movies are body centric: "I have this deep pool of imagery that I keep fishing in and it’s just there for whatever reason. My films are body centric. For me, the first fact of human existence is the body and the further we move away from the human body the less real things become and have to be invented by us. Maybe the body is the only fact of human existence that we can cling to. And yet it seems to be much ignored in movie making, although maybe not in art generally. One thinks of a lot of strange, interesting performance artists and painters like Francis Bacon. But in movie making there still seems to be this flight from the body in a weird way." (Cronenberg's interview with Richard Porton, Cineaste, 1999) Clip from: Videodrome (1983) Director: David Cronenberg

Finally started work on a project I have wanted to do for years. I'm reverse engineering + modifying a Big Buck Hunter cabinet (hunting game from 2000), working towards a nonviolent simulation of wildlife with infinitely generating landscapes, using only the original game assets.

Videodrome (1983) 🕯️📹 Released on February 4, 1983, “Videodrome” faced a difficult theatrical run due to its transgressive content but eventually found a massive second life through home video and high-quality restorations. The film opened in 600 theaters across North America. It debuted at number 8 on the box office charts, earning approximately $1.19 million in its opening weekend. It was a significant commercial "bomb," grossing a total of $2.12 million against a budget of roughly $5.95 million. Director David Cronenberg noted that the film was difficult to categorize, neither fitting clearly as an "art-house" film nor a standard "exploitation" horror flick. Universal Pictures executives later expressed regret for giving it a wide release rather than treating it as a specialized art film. Home video was instrumental in transitioning “Videodrome” from a financial failure to a revered cult classic. The film was released on VHS and Betamax in the 1980s by companies like CIC Video. In the UK, early versions were heavily censored—cut by nearly three minutes—due to the "video nasty" moral panic of the era. The film's critical status was cemented with its inclusion in the Criterion Collection, which released a landmark DVD in 2004 and a Blu-ray in 2010. These editions featured the "unrated" version and extensive documentaries on its groundbreaking prosthetic effects. Arrow Video released a highly praised dual-format (Blu-ray/DVD) set in the UK with new restorations and archival content in 2015. New 4K restorations, approved by Cronenberg, were released to theaters and home media, further enhancing the film's "techno-surrealist" visuals for modern audiences. Today, the film is widely available for digital streaming on platforms like Peacock and for purchase through boutique labels.
