i love the asian horror genre. they just lack alot but it doesnt take away from what i watch them for. i was browsing IDMB and didnt realize takeshi miike was the japanese dude in hostel that told him he could spend all his money in the supposed art gallery

yeah that's one of my favorites from him. people always call Visitor Q disgusting, but i think the violence and depravity in it is all pretty comical. like when the guy gets his dick stuck in the dead girl? that was fucking hilarious.
maybe i'm just a sicko. :emot-shak

i find that ammusing to. my friends think im sick. they wont watch these movies with me because theyd rather be watching requiem or donnie darko. i tell them about these films alot and they get freaked out. funny thing is, ill watch any asian deth scene in a movie but i will never watch a faces of death or any gruesome REAL video posted on here. it just freaks me out
miike is just great in exaggerating everything.
like dead or alive, which is another good miike flick, where the ending is just over the top.
waaaaay over the top.
if you're a sicko, i am probably as well.

Battle Royale was really good. I need to find the book and read that.
There are no movies that are better then the books they were inspired from.

I had a dream where my social studies class was put in the same situation. I was the 7th person to die because I got AWP'd. It was so retarded.

one of the best movies ever. if you've seen it and disagree, you're probably missing the point.

i disagree, i thought the ending was the worst part of the movie and it didn't live up to how good the bulk of the film was. it almost seemed like they ran out of ideas or realized that there was no good way to end the story. it was just a little too convinient for me that everything worked out nicely and that the main characters got out unscathed.
as for the acting, i just thought the kids were a little melodramatic. obviously most of them were young, so i won't be too critical, but a lot of the characters were unrealistic and poorly acted. however, i thought most of the adults in film did a good job (particularly Takeshi Kitano, i like him a lot).
and i haven't seen many low-budget films? please. :o

one of the best movies EVER? that's a very bold statement to make. Battle Royale was great, but not that great.
and i haven't seen many low-budget films? please. :o
go see six-string samurai at once. it's definately a movie for guitar players.

me describing the acting to a friend: "The acting is sort of bad, but you can't tell, because they're Japanese."

the acting isn't bad.. they're 9th graders, it is all quite intentional.
the movie is brilliant for it's social/political satire, cinematography/imagery, and overall badassness.
I read the manga version 1st (well, ive just finished the 5th and not sure how many are left) and i think the manga is much much better than the film. I much prefer the 2nd film aswell, alhtough it wud be useless without the first one so... yeh go find the manga books somewhere they're well worth it.

well, i disagree. i think it's unintentionally bad. but i won't argue opinions.
We're watching it in Film Club thursday. I've heard it's similar to Lord of The Flies. True?

You guys ever seen Ichi the Killer? I couldn't sit through it. I'm not into stuff like that. Battle Royale didn't bother me though.

ichi was a good movie. the worst scene for me was the scalding hot water to the back while suspended by chains. the end of audition gave me chills when she cut the dudes feet off

dude, after that scene is when i walked out of the room. I was like, "No, I can't watch this." Like, right after he was about to jam the needle thing in the dude's dick.

yes, you can download most of Miike's popular movies on just about any torrent site.

yeah Ichi is probably the goriest and most difficult to watch of all his movies. it's the only movie (besides Audition) that has serious violence and isn't completely over-the-top. you should have stuck with it though. Ichi, in my opinion, is Miike's best film overall. the ending is sweeeet.
Savior
03-20-2006, 06:19 PM
Yeah, my friends told me aside from the goriness the movie itself is really good.

I loved Ichi the killer. watching the Anime version helped me understand it more, it gives you a bigger insight into Ichi himself.
Anybody seen OLDBOY? My favourite film of all time. MAde by a korean guy called Chan-Wook Park.

03-20-2006, 06:40 PM
yeah, Oldboy is fucking kickass. that scene where the main character beats up about 30 guys in a corridor with just a wooden plank is totally badass.
Yeh he eats an octopus/squid thing. not really a major part, just gets hungry and thats on the menu lol i love the movie because it has a great script, great acting, great cinematics, violence, love, gore, a mental story and a fucking intense twist! i had nothing bad to say after seeing it and i still dont now. Could watch it a million times, not the same when you know the ending though lol

Is there an order to these? Like, are they connected? I'm downloading some shit called "Ichi the Killer" and I wanna make sure I'm on the right track. Never heard of any of this shit before, but sounds like I'd like it.
Savior
03-20-2006, 07:21 PM
They're not connected, except Ichi One and Ichi The Killer.
Ichi the Killer is just an anime/manga made into a motion picture by an insanely good japanese director called Takeshi Miike. He's made about 50/60 movies in the past 10years. There is no order. OLDBOY is simply another asian film that kicks ass. Directed by Chan-Wook Park, who is also an amazing director (check out Sympathy for Mr Vengance)

Savior

Yeah, well at least the Ichi's were.
No, subtitled. Maybe you could find a dubbed version i guess.

The only Ichi I can find is Ichi the Killer. All the other ones I can't understand a fucking word in the tags. If somebody runs acrossed a torrent or something they know is the right one for the first one or whatever it would be cool if you could hook that up, cause I'm way over my head in Japanese shit over here.
I want to see it but at the same time i don't. :(
