I agree about the use of violence of Cronenberg in this film. The shot of when they kill the girl sets ups eveerything to go on and beyond the violence as you know it. I also liked so much the comicesque twist.. i though while watchign the film that was weird in something.. the performance of Viggo was far too weird.. then i saw was based on a comic. excellent comeback of Cronenberg, as well as Woody allen's Matchpoint.

i prefer 10 times A History of violence rather than Existenze and like 4 times more than Spider. I just can't dig Ralph Finnes.

I liked Existenz. I think I'm one of the few people I know who did. People hated the ending, but I thought the ending was perfect.

Spider was meh. I like Finnes (that's not how you spell his name, is it?) though...Constant Gardener was great.

Aww...no love for Ralph Finnes Jer? Liking Spider I guess kind of hinges on that. Despite that, the movie wasn't that great at the end of the day.
