A History of Violence, although I wasn't actively aware of Cronenberg at the time. After I delved deeper into the mythos behind him, it was The Fly

Probably The Dead Zone, or The Fly, both of which I saw with my dad as a l2000ate child-teenager. I started exploring Cronenberg after that, seeing Scanners afterwards and Videodrome.

My first Cronenberg movie is The Fly OR Scanners. Both films have marked my cinematic childhood. Later, in the 97-98, when I went deeper into cinema and start considering the directors and realized that I liked 2 movies from same director, Cronenberg, I decided to consciently watch Crash first because my Dad wanted to bring me to theater to watch it but could not because I did not have the age! He insisted because it did not work. Anyway, we watched Bad Moon instead.

Can't remember my second. In any case, I think The Fly's the perfect starting point if you're just getting into his work, purely Cronenbergian but with a mainstream appeal you don't see in something like Videodrome (though that's still my favourite of his)

Probably The Fly too. Then The Brood. I stole a vhs copy of the latter from some market. I don't really know why. Probably to impress a girlfriend with my daring. I didn't even know who the director was, and the tape only would have cost me like 5 bucks. Anyway, I really liked the movie. One of the creepiest I'd ever seen. Made me a confirmed Cronenberg fan.

"I stole a VHS copy/-/"
Gee, what intellectual interests lol. Me, I used to focus my shoplifting on the more immediately satisfying objects - like beer, wine or smoked chicken legs.
We're not just violent alcoholics, you know, but also well, I never lifted anything when sober (once I did an idiotic thing, pocketed an apricote when hung over and got caught. F-cking moron). And rarely when alone. One night, me and my friend brought out 4 bottles of the rather expensive Georgian Kinzhmarauli wine holidays and salad days and days of mouldy mayonnaise
Bus rides are cool. However, today is not really the day when I'd fancy boarding an aircraft. On this medicine, it's too palpable, too real anyway - the thought that there still always is the possibility I'll be cashing the wrong check sitting on that one flight in a million, in ten million Lufthansa last had a casualty 21 years ago if I recall correctly (IF it counts as a Lufthansa flight, strictly speaking).
Thanks for bothering with the cricket manual btw. Musta taken forever to type out well, I'll do my best to apply the limited brainpower. Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow.
