eXistenZ (1999)

SOME BULLSHIT TOMORROW is the movie theme all August and how can we go through a month of strange futures without including a selection from the director that made today’s discussion? Yeah, a lot of our tomorrows are definitely bullshit but Cronenberg’s future doesn’t seem so stressed. Seems like your refrigerator could have fleshy bits and holes made just for you. The TV remote could look and feel like a ballsack and you know you love it you kinky freak. We’re discussing David Cronenberg’s inventive and wild gamer future film from 1999, “eXistenZ” starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Ian Holm, Willem Dafoe and more. In the near future games get weird but maybe you won’t notice. A major game designer is the target of assassination due to her phenomenon gaming invention known as “eXistenZ”, Her and her nerd bodyguard gotta go into the game and build bone guns and stick umbilical chords into their tramps stamps (in real life and in the game) to help them play the game. We can be immersed in worlds that feel totally real but where does your character go and why? I’d love to play Mario on one of those fleshy clitorus pads. Or Elden Ring? I’m good on rooting through viscera at the “Trout Farm”. Tonguing port holes, though? Let’s do it. Where does the game end and real life begin?
