The tub was full of sherbet.
ugh – who paid for this?
the canadian film board?
j’accuse, cronenberg!
We’d lose whatever credibility we have as artsy, godless, communist, latte-sucking, tofu-chomping, holistic-wacko neurotic vegan perverts if we were caught coming down on the National Film Board like consertives have in days of yore. Really, we’re happy that the Canadian government helps in funding films, even bad ones like this. I mean, if nobody made bad movies, we wouldn’t be internet famous. And we’d rather be internet famous than Canadian famous (a.k.a. not famous).
Speaking of the NFB, omg have your tried their app?

We actually studied Shivers in University – Cronenberg is nothing, if not analyzable. The NFB has let far worse happen – without question. Their app totally rules, although I’m a little unclear on how to manage watching the really long pieces on there.
