    The battle for the mind of North America...

    will be fought in the video arena:

  • Unknown

    the Videodrome.

  • Brian O'Blivion

    The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye.

    Therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain.

    Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen...

    emerges as raw experience for those who watch it.

    Therefore, television is reality,

    and reality is less than television.

  • Unknown

    Max.

  • Brian O'Blivion

    I'm so glad you came to me.

  • Unknown

    I've been through it all myself, you see.

  • Brian O'Blivion

    Your reality is already half video hallucination.

    If you're not careful, it will become total hallucination.

    You'll have to learn to live in a very strange new world.

  • Unknown

    I had a brain tumor,

    and I had visions.

  • Brian O'Blivion

    I believed the visions caused the tumor...

  • Unknown

    and not the reverse.

    I could feel the visions coalesce and become flesh.

    Uncontrollable flesh.

    But when they removed the tumor,

    it was called Videodrome.

    I was the-

    I

    I...

    was Videodrome's...

    first victim.

    But who is behind it? What do they want?

    I want you, Max.

    You.

    Come to me.
