I wish I could say that I enjoyed this more than I did. It's visually stunning, of course, but it doesn't have a story or any dialogue, so, at 84 minutes, it's a tough watch. It's a great achievement for Tippett, but it's just not enough to sustain feature length. It's a purely stylistic exercise.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

I really enjoyed this. Despite the lack of any plot that makes sense outside of Tippett's head, I didn't feel it dragged as the visuals were so strong. It didn't give Eraserhead or Tetsuo a run for their money in terms of knocking me utterly senseless after my first viewing, but it does capture some of that feeling. It's not for glass half full people as its message seems to be that we're doomed to fuck up in the same way each time.I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.
