Why are you such a derelict? Such a piece of human junk? The answer’s simple. You’re a scanner, which you don’t realize. And that has been the source of all your agony. But I will show you now that it can be a source of great power.

    Saw this as a kid with my mom in the theater. After being scarred by the “head” scene, I watched the rest of it between my fingers with my hands up covering my face. Such sweet memories of mother/son time in my youth.

      Ah Cronenberg movies, great movies to watch with parents!

      Joke aside, this is by far from the worst of his movies to watch with parents.
