THE FILM LOCKER #3: David Cronenberg and 'The Fly'

So, much love to our new listeners who have entered the competition and the writer-inners (email us!) and with two in the bag - a Woody Allen and a Martin Scorsese episode, we now move onto more obscene and obscure directors with David Cronenberg.

Our choice of film is The Fly. Hatter mentioned how, prior to our Woody Allen show, he had not seen Hannah and her Sisters, and the same is true of The Fly for me. In fact, in preparation I watched three Cronenberg films: The Fly, eXistenZ and Dead Ringers for the first time!

But we have a bunch of posts on a separate blog - http://www.filmlocker.blogspot.com/ - that highlight much deeper insights into the films of the directors we have mentioned and more details about upcoming episodes and the ongoing scoreboard for the listeners!



And, as usual, it is already up on itunes and can be found easily on podomatic - so, please do try and write reviews and support us if you can! We have the ol' RSS feed and 2.0 RSS and, if you link in different ways, we also have it on Google and Yahoo

The Adjustment Bureau with Mad Hatter...

Hatter and I seem to have a very similar attitude to film - both interested in the classics, both interested in building upon our knowledge of cinema by crawling through the '100 Best...' lists. Either we have seen it or we cry ourselves to sleep wishing we had.

Fact is, through watching The Adjustment Bureau we seem to go against each other - Hatter loving the film, whilst I despised it.

It turned into a great back-and-forth email and Mad Hatter put it up on his blog so, indeed, have a gander!

I think it fair to say that it gets a bit heated ...


On a sidenote, isn't the poster very similar to North by Northwest...
