Please don't try to pass your opinions off as fact or as a representation of my own thoughts. I didn't call it garbge. It was a bizarre movie, and in the immediate moments afterwards I was freaked out by it. Cronenberg's schtick is body horror, and with that often comes a whole lot of surrealist elements. It also contains some legitimately interesting (and almost prophetic) commentary on society and their reliance on technology.
The whole idea behind Doctor O'Blivion being an avatar and "living" through the thousands of tapes he filmed isn't far off from the obsession with social media, YouTube, television/film, and entertainment in general. The difference is that Videodrome has people living through video, while many people do it through the internet. This was maybe the most interesting part of the film for me.
Anyways, with school taking over I'm falling behind on my list a bit. Going to catch up this weekend.
