‘Sucked’: Audience notes from a ‘Videodrome’ test screening

This was the kind of crap David Cronenberg had to endure from the audience at a test screening of his film Videodrome. Thankfully, Mr Cronenberg and his producers were made of stronger stuff, so they could shrug of such comments as:

“I fail to understand what would be accomplished by releasing such a movie on the public. What sort of person could enjoy it.”

Or:

“I consider myself to be an open minded individual – but I would not accept that such a thing would be captivating to the public.”

Oh really?
