james woods.

(videodrome, 1983)

"fucked up" is the only way to describe david cronenberg's entrancing fantasy picture videodrome. in it, james woods' max renn is a sleazy television producer who gets caught up in the bizarre world of the pseudo-simulated videodrome universe -- a program created by an evil madman intent on annihilating the degenerates who get off on watching torture porn. at least, i think that's what it's about. max's mild-mannered, buttoned-down wardrobe makes for an interesting contrast to his freaky sex scene with nicki brand (debbie harry). you have been warned.
