I'm an IFC fanatic and last night I watched a good movie with Sean Hayes called 'Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss" and was surprised that Matt Ashford (Jack on DOOL) had a fairly major part in the film.
It is a gorgeous movie, but not as good as Ang Lee's "CTHD." Geisha had it moments but let me down more or less. So I put on TMC and watched "Sayonara" with Brando - now that was a good film about Japan, it's culture and people.
No, I haven seen Shivers but I have heard about it and hope to see it sometime. I got hooked on Cronenberg after The Dead Zone and The Fly. Since that time I've tried to see everyone of his films. I think my faves from him are Dead Ringers, M Butterfly and Crash.
