I saw that movie 4 or 5 times before I was 30. The last time I saw it, it turned my stomach. I didn’t even enjoy the interiors. It isn’t in our video collection.

I still enjoy the soundtrack, though. (What ever happened to Walter Carlos?)

It was meant to be disturbing so I give it a pass for that.

I loved the language. It was amazingly complex. They used the term 'horrorshow' to mean amazing. It's a great term because kids of that age would have thought 'horror shows' are amazing so it makes sense that they might use that term to designate amazing things. But also, 'horrorshow' is the bastardization of a Russian word that means amazing.

So basically a twofer. And so many other examples that prove the genius of Anthony Burgess.

He became Wendy and released Switched-On Bach 2000. Magpies in the wild always remind me of "The Thieving Magpie."

Some years ago, Walter Carlos became Wendy Carlos.
