Just watched Dead Ringers (1988) directed by David Cronenberg. His seventh movie. First movie of the psychological/existential phase. It’s about twin gynecologists who spiral into madness. Terrible movie. Don’t watch it πŸ˜‚ 3/10 #nodereviews

Succinct and informative review. Stuck to the point and didn't waste my time. 9.5/10

You watched it so that I don't have to! πŸ˜…

Pretty much yes 😭😭🀣

🀣

One good scene at 49mins. The dream sequence. Rest is trash πŸ˜‚

I was waiting for this review 🀌

What are your thoughts on this one?

Jermey irons is a good actor but the movie is just too uncomfortable for me.

Twins with gay vibes is uncomfortable. Hard to believe Cronenberg made such a turd

Some critics say it is his finest πŸ˜‚

Probably the same critics who say Marvel movies deserve 95%+ ratings πŸ˜‚

Which one?

The dream sequence where they are attached by the abdomen and one of them starts eating the attachment πŸ˜‚

I forgot. I tried rewatching I didn’t get that far. πŸ˜‚

I was waiting for Cronenberg’s signature action/suspense/thrills. Nothing happened. Watched a plastic surgeon whine and cry lmao

A lot of that. πŸ˜‚

I think you might be enter his critical acclaim, yet turd stretch

More turds coming up? Oh no

That is why I said I like his early stuff but the taste makers prefer later Cronenberg very New Yorker.

History of Violence and Eastern promises though. Both in his third phase of crime and crame. Excellent stuff. Even Crimes of the future.

Maybe his second wave of existential movies is mostly terrible? πŸ˜‚

*crime and drama

I liked those but history violence is very ghey too πŸ˜†

I forget. I think I saw once πŸ˜‚

It got a lot of praise from the critics

Not the best sign πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚

All the gangsters seemed pretty ghey to me. 🀣

Directors who stay consistently good throughout their career are rare πŸ˜‚

He tricked me with all the horror movies at first lol. Wasn’t expecting something that bad

Gotta power through his gay phase πŸ˜‚ (sounds weird)

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Wait till you get to spider πŸ˜‚ at least imo

Naked lunch? The next one

😬

Existenz sounds good. Crash could be good. Could be weird. 😬

Crash I liked but most people I know hated it. This is one we might be divided on πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜‚

Sounds like it might be highly controversial πŸ˜‚

Just read the one liner for it

People in car crashes getting horny about car crashes. πŸ˜‚

Boring, gay, but some interesting special effects

He went mainstream πŸ˜‚

He did.

Although these middle era movies I would call art house.

Dead ringers was definitely that

It is all art house till history of violence

History is the fourth one on the list πŸ˜‚

🫑

Their syphil runneth over.
