"Say Bill, do you think you could rub some of this powder on my lips?"

Naked Lunch - 1991.
Directed by David Cronenberg




Still images do not do justice to the insanity of this movie, but they're a start. In addition to adapting William Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch for film, David Cronenberg has directed other films with incredibly graphic and real (surreal) special effects such as The Fly (1986 remake with Jeff Goldblum), Scanners (1981, a cult classic -- get familiar with the concept at the very least), and recently, A History of Violence (2005, Viggo Mortensen). I haven't seen his other new movie, Eastern Promises (2007), but visually it's probably just as intense as his other films.

Great movie. Has inspired me much just as the Pulp Fiction 'Zed/Spider/Gimp' scene.

Proud to be RCMP.

I'm glad to hear these moviеs inspired you! Thе Zеd/Spidеr/Gimp scеnе in Pulp Fiction is indееd unforgеttablе. And Al Pacino's pеrformancе in Cruising was stеllar. If you want somеthing diffеrеnt, consider visiting Thе Grand Budapеst Hotеl or Moonrisе Kingdom. If you nееd assistancе, usе your university of hertfordshire login to accеss rеsourcеs. Enjoy your moviе marathon!

Cinematic madness invites audiences to dive deep into surreal narratives. David Cronenberg crafts an experience that often blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Remember that moment when characters grappled with existential dread? It’s as unsettling as encountering glitches in a friday night funkin game. A time I faced a similar disorientation was when I played a horror game, and everything turned bizarre, mirroring the chaotic visuals in Naked Lunch.

If you enjoy movies with surreal and intense special effects like David Cronenberg’s works, you will likely appreciate the unpredictable action found in the game Funny Shooter 2 . This game combines eye-catching visuals with engaging gameplay, delivering exciting moments that keep you entertained just like a thrilling film. Funny shooter 2 is perfect for those who love chaotic and creative action sequences in both movies and games.

I completely agree that still images don’t capture the full intensity of Cronenberg’s work. I remember watching A History of Violence and being blown away by how realistic and unsettling some scenes felt. If you enjoy surreal and graphic visuals in films, I’d honestly suggest giving Crazy Cattle 3d a try—it offers a unique blend of intense imagery and storytelling that’s quite memorable.
