[edit] Where's the movie poster?

I'm not sure if it was a copyright issue, but wasn't there a movie poster there before? --Tokachu 06:46, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] As in French French?

The following text appeared in the list of samples from the movie:

The electro/shoegaze group, The Very Hush Hush, entitled the first part of their debut album, Mourir C'est Facile ("Long Live the New Flesh" in French). Prominently featured on the front of the album cover is a computer generated picture of body transmogrification composed by the artist, Ray Caesar (often compared to David Cronenberg).

I took it out because the translation seems a bit crap. I would just edit it, but if it doesn't mean "Long Live the New Flesh", we're left with... the guy who designed one of their album covers gets compared to David Cronenberg.

Anybody want to insist on including it anyway? --Cdswtchr 11:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia, or Coincidence?

I've been trying to determine if the character 'Moses' in the film is a reference to Moses_Znaimer, in the same way that Civic TV is a reference to CityTV. It seems likely, though the few leads I've poked through like to speak of Znaimer as a real-life analogue to Max Renn rather than simple name-dropping. --Bieeanda 03:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another musical reference

Jeff Minter's Tempest 2000 featured a track called "Mind's Eye" http://www.last.fm/music/Atari/_/Mind's+Eye that contains the line, "Television is the retina of the mind's eye." (An O'Blivion quote from Videodrome.) I have heard who the writer/composer was, but I haven't tracked it down yet. Somegeek 19:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
