I'm with you on feeling like January fell on me like a rock.
Thanks for the link. It sounds very much like Cronenberg talks, very smart and with certain very specific obsessions. I got to the exhibit associated with the retrospective, and the very best thing in it was a room with a bunch of video screens that played clips of interviews of Cronenberg from the full range of his career. It was sort of like stepping into Cronenberg's head for 10 or 15 minutes, and fascinating to see that he was as smart and unafraid of controversy in his twenties as he is now that he's 70.
The big guy says thanks for the link too. He's the really big Cronenberg fan in the family. I stay away from some of the ickier films, but he used to retrospective to fill his Cronenberg cinephilia card and has now seen all of his features on the big screen.
