I also find the twins sympathetic but I think their disassociation has more to do with internal flaws than with the 80s per se--remember, they're pretty out of it even in the opening flashbacks.

It's possible that this requires multiple viewings for some though, and I would recommend you do so. There is much more to the relationship with the twins to each other, to Claire, and to the audience than simply being disassociated and unsympathetic.

If you like Cronenberg, here's a top-secret heads up--I saw his new one a few months ago and it's really good--no "Dead Ringers," but fun and well made; it's called "A History of Violence." It'll be in theaters in September after screening in competition at Cannes in a few weeks. It has a good Howard Shore score, too, kind of a Bernard Herrmann thing.
