It never left?...... How's that for substance?
Btw I thought the film was nothing out of the ordinary, it's not really forgettable though as it attempts to create something unique. Many things that falls flat like the "dualaction" dance, the opening scene etc.
I'm amazed that it's as well recieved as it is in general. I hardly think this movie will be talked about in 10 years from now.

I'm probably alone in this, but ever since I first saw images of Dr. Klemperer, I thought "This looks like an 80 year old Thom Yorke, or Thom Yorke in old-man makeup."

Frankly I'm still baffled the way they tried to hide from the public that Swinton played Klemperer. It seemed like JJ Abrams mystery box type marketing. Unnecessarily convoluted.

OT: Once someone on IMDB called DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE "overrated." I'm asking... by what standard? Who is overrating this?! It has some deeply devoted fans such as myself but it's certainly no critical darling or consensus favorite.
Apparently this individual's perception of "overrated" was the mere fact that it has fans.

I think there's a strong desire to be a contrarian, particularly when a film is praised a lot early on. I found it happened with MANDY, for example; people were singing its praises until, I guess, some people had had enough and started pointing out its flaws. I have no problem getting on board with a film if I genuinely like it, regardless of whether it's overpraised or not.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

Sometimes it's borderline-trolling. You can tell certain people are trying to piss you off when they proclaim "FILM X sucks but the remake/sequel is far superior!" A few reviews of SUSPIRIA '18 I read had that clickbait-y quality of praising the remake at the expense of Argento's original. (Eg: "While the original's a superficial exercise in style, this remake has 'real things that it wants to say!'")
There's a breed of folks who hate Kubrick's "pretentious" 2001 and will seriously argue that 2010 is a superior film & Peter Hyams' direction is superior to Kubrick's. At this point I'm amused by the lengths people will go to outrage film buffs. Life's too short to be triggered by such silly shit. You want to be a Hyams apologist? Go ahead.

As to your point, though, yeah, anyone who compares the work of Kubrick and Hyams is just baiting for an argument.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

Unfortunately, Bones And All bombed as well. He may be 'forced' into doing something artier next time
