Memento is that movie for me. Really great movie, cast well and the directing was top notch. No one seems to have seen it

When Trinity spit in the guy's drink right in front of him ... and a few minutes later he doesn't remember it and he drinks it ... for some reason that scene grossed-me-out maybe worse than other movie scenes that were trying to do the same.

That was a very intense, deep, flick. You gotta watch the whole thing to "get it."

Videodrome starring James Woods

Strange movie ... Blonde (Deborah Harry) was in that movie as well. I've referenced it several times on this forum. If you "get it" then it was a warning, forty years ago, about what we are experiencing these days .... the TV, the Internet - it's controlling people and the more they get the more they want to the point of addiction and eventual self-destruction.

I cannot remember the name of the director, but I saw a special on him one time .... very intelligent guy. He also did another weird as frick movie by the name of "Existential" with Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh and it's message was about mind control as well .... through gaming.

Both movies were well ahead of their time.
