Proud Staff MemberMonsters HD: Scanners 7:30pm ET
ADVERTS 1
Summary: David Cronenberg's 1981 horror film is a darkly paranoid story of a homeless man (Stephen Lack) mistakenly believed to be insane, when in fact he can't turn off the sound of other people's thoughts in his telepathic mind. Helped by a doctor (Patrick McGoohan) and enlisted in a program of "scanners"--telepaths who also can will heads to explode--he becomes involved in a battle against nefarious forces. A number of critics consider this to be Cronenberg's first great film, and indeed it has a serious vision of destiny that rivals some of the important German expressionist works from the silent cinema. Lack is very good as the odd hero, and McGoohan is effectively eccentric and chilly as the scientist who saves him from the street, only to thrust him into a terrible struggle. --Tom Keogh

MIssed it both times, I set my DVR to record this and when I came back home I realized that my DVR isn't working, so I checked the Voom manual and this loud buzzing occurred in my head so I drilled my head with a Makita power drill... then I woke up and I realized that there is no DVR and also that I had watched Spoiler:
... I'm not sure what one thing has to do with the other but I think it's crazy.. crazy like a HD DBS service without a HD DVR.
