v prototypical of too old to die young in vibes & style, compelled
script sometimes veers a lil 2 winking w/ the metajokes abt real-life hollywood but there's an undeniable weird brilliance 2 the fact a david cronenberg film has robert pattinson say the line "chuck lorre...he, uh, created two & a halr men"
wow...she is LITERALLY me!
an insanely powerful performance
need these gloves
it is so screamingly obvious that this screenplay in the hands of any director but cronenberg would end up making a joylessly smug satire instead of like, this alien vibes nightmare shit
this is like if that stupid wim wenders movie abt how action movies & rap are evil was abt early 2010s television & also raw enough 2 be confrontational instead of just schoolmarmish
the dialogue is so full of "maaaan, this joke is gna crush in theatres, everyone will get it" 2014 celebrity namedrops, one of my favorite bad screenwriting clichés
cronenberg has such a gift for getting legitimately rly weird performances from big-name actors instead of phoned-in character quirks
