>Cronenberg will never adapt this

Don't think it would work as a full length feature honestly.

>>79956402
The book is shit though. No story or purpose whatsoever, its torture porn at best

>>79956402

>Cronenberg will never do icky body horror ever again

There was some violence in Eastern Promises, but that's it, that's the last of it. After that he made some boring Freud thing and something about a dude in a limo. What the fuck is going on with Cronenberg?

>>79956483
He wrote a pretty good book

and his son made a great movie

>>79956483
>What the fuck is going on with Cronenberg?
give him a break hes like 73, he made lots of cool shit just enjoy it

>>79956478
And Ellison's prose is abysmal.

GORRISTERRRRR

Leftists and Jews would love it for the BBC. But hate it for the anti ai theme

Cronenberg would consider himself above your manchild video game schlock


And he'd be right.

>>79958090
it is a book you fucking retard

sadly the best thing about this is the title

>>79956402
The story is pretty good but I don't think it'd translate well to film because of how unfathomably grim it is.

Shit, I actually blame that story for bringing me out of depression a little. No matter how bad things get, I can always think 'hey, at least I'm not a fucking blob getting pushed around by Harlan Ellison of all people'.

Goddamn, it says a lot about Ellison that he chose to voice AM himself in the video game. He is not a good guy.

>>79958090
>calls someone a manchild
>only recognizes something by it's video game adaptation
Real irony going on here.

when was the last time we had good Cronenberg thread? We should star one

Sup, Korinefag

Make Cronenberg great again

>>79956402
>suicidal humans trying to save themselves from the sadistic AI
it wouldn't make a good movie

Just a couple of hours ago I was thinking about Don Coscarelli adapting this but
>>79958180 is right, the story itself is not that good, but it could be at least an interesting setting

Which Cronenberg should I watch next?

I've already seen:
>Scanners
>Videodrome
>The Fly
>Dead Ringers
>The Naked Lunch
>Crash
>Spider
>A History of Violence
>Eastern Promises
>A Dangerous Method
>Cosmopolis
>Maps to the Stars

>>79956561
he realized body horror movies don't make money anymore, so like a good kike he stopped doing it.
carpenter couldn't see that and failed, his last movies are shit.

too bad the game is just as trash as the book

thought it would be something edgy with a decent story, instead i got a shitty story with hamfisted toodeep4me analogies with 9gag tier "provocative" imagery. the only really unsettling thing was the blob you get for the bad ending, which i had to google to see since i got the good one

>Cronnenberg never directed an Alien movie
What is even the point of Hollywood's existence?

>>79956402
It couldn't be made today, it bashes women (the only woman) pretty bad.

There is an interview out there from the mid 70s with Tom Snyder and he's interviewing the crew of Star Trek.

Harlan Ellison comes on and it's obvious he's coked up, blabbery in his own convoluted stream of thought that vacillates from one topic to the next, and eventually Walter Koenig steps in with his stuttering pretense to help the guy through the process.

I admit the sentence was long but the topic never strayed from Harlan Ellison's cokey speech that was reaching and somewhat embarrassing to watch.

Oh, okay, yeah, I know the episode.
Picard's talking about Dr. Fassbinder before entering some time rift.

>>79956478
this. i have this problem with most of Ellison's work. no development, no actual story, just loud trumpet braying.

he wrote one decent story: "God Bless You Little Life Hutch". protagonist faces a life-threatening problem. he solves it.

it'd make a good Twilight Zone episode.

>>79966465
yeah, Ellison was always more of a spec fiction cheerleader than a top writer. his prose really is abysmal and while he does have a handful of good ideas, he rarely fleshes them out. he's a pulp speculative fiction writer (he hates the term sci-fi). man, to be honest, i don't recall much of his stories. read them in high school. they're forgettable. i recall digging the Deathbird stories, Slippage, Angry Candy, and his essays. the Dangerous Visions anthology, like the Dune series, was a seminal read for any sci-fi geeks in middle/high school.
