I didn't even consider the environmental impact. That's horrible. As if AI wasn't bad enough.

Re: Videodrome vs. The Fly?
I enjoyed both very much, but I felt that Videodrome brought out a lot more interesting, realistic, and and disturbing philosophical issues related to technology and media.

I'm not quite sure why Kids seems to have such a cult following surrounding it. It's obviously a shocking movie, so that could do it, but it feels much more mundane in comparison to the other movies...
