David Cronenberg: Evil genius.

Our favourite film genres are sci fi, animation, comedy, fantasy and horror. One of the masters of the horror genre is a Canadian director named David Cronenberg. His films are famous for one thing: the recurring theme of body mutations (known to TVtropers as Body Horror). His movies are so delightfully squicky and yet interesting. Not many people can stomach David Cronenberg's movies except me and my brother. We love David Cronenberg's movies. Our favourite films of his are The Fly, Dead Zone, Videodrome, Scanners, Crash, and Existenz. The Fly is our number 1 favourite David Cronenberg movie. We loved Jeff Goldblum's character. Some people tell me i'm a lot like him, and it's true I am quite similar to Seth Brundle (for starts we've both been mutated into something completely different than normal, and we're both scientists) The most interestingg aspect about the movie is that some people view Seth Brundle's transformation into the human/fly hybrid creature Brundlefly as a metaphor for AIDS. My brother has a telepod like the one used in the movie, he lets me use it and he often uses it himself, on one occassion he actually reinacted the experiment from the film and ended up turning into some Brundlefly clone, it took a long time to figure how to change him back to normal but we managed to do it in the end. And the second time he gave it a test drive, he left one of our Buzz Lightyear action figures in the machine with him at the time, he ended up turning into a life sized version of the Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story films. It wasn't easy finding a way to change him back but I eventually found away- most of him is pretty much back to normal now- well...except for the wings sticking out of his back (luckily they are retractable). And the explanination as to why I turned evil during my stay on Amirgiht in early 2008....somehow our neighbour's mean spirited cat Damien got into the telepod while I was in it, it was silly of me not to notice that- although it's not at all suprising considering that cat is a feline from hell, always demolishing anything he can get his paws on, always slaughtering innocent birds and bringing their dead bodies into the house, doesn't trust anyone not even his owner, he's an absolute monster. He scratched my brother's leg at least 5 times, and not to mention he almost attacked me once. That cat is our public enemy 1#. He's also a master of deceit and trickery, he pretends to be all innocent and cute but when you least expect it...he strikes like a demon in the night. He is a black cat with bright yellow eyes and a collar with a skull on it. If you see that cat, run like hell.












The telepod can be seen in the David Cronenberg wing of our interactive museum. Be warned though, the David Cronenberg wing is only for the truly daring. If you're really brave, then perhaps the Squickatorium attraction will be just up your alley, the squickatorium is a ride where you get to experience first hand the squickness of David Cronenberg's films such as The Fly, Videodrome, Scanners, Dead Zone, Existenz and Crash- ride it, if you dare.
