Thanks, Jim, for reposting this video. It may be your best. A Wonderfully enlightening montage of all of Cronenberg's core themes, issues, motifs...

On a side note, when the heck are we going to get a better DVD (Blu ray??) of Scanners? I'm waiting...

you forgot to credit the rollercoaster clip from Dead Zone. I was particularly struck by it, being a long-time fan of Cronenberg, Walken, and of Stephen King the writer, yet totally ignorant of Cronenberg's having directed that movie. I am very glad you are resurrecting your clips...
