Today at Tor.com, I point out that the geniuses at Universal who have decided to remake Videodrome apparently did not realize that Cronenberg had already taken care of it when he made eXistenZ.

For those who want to know more about eXistenZ – and you do! – the trailer is below. It’s hilariously over-explainy (IN A WORLD…), and doubly hilarious because even all this explaining takes care of maybe the first half hour of the movie, and everything after that is an idtastic free-for-all.

Fair warning: I get queasy every time I watch this movie, so if you have a tender tummy, think twice.
