Welcome to Miike. Try and watch a few more films of his from that era, they are almost all pretty good (and if they aren't they still tend to be worth a watch). As a fan I have been pretty disappointed by a few of his more recent films.

Overnight I've never seen all the way through, but am aware of.
Boondock Saints I saw once at 5am, 'round at a mate's, after we'd all got back from a club. I'd never heard of the film, but he proclaimed it's brilliance and stuck it on the DVD player. Then he (-and everybody else), fell fast asleep. So I sat there, not wanting to wake the gorgeous woman lying asleep in my lap, and watched the film. It was shit.

An Injury To One - doco on the lynching of IWW agitator Frank Little in Butte, Montana. Made using old soviet experimental techniques, sometimes succesfully, sometimes not. An interesting film.

I used to love it, though it was amazing. I got given it for free on DVD last year and had a watch.
I hated it. Boring as fuck.
In fact I think I gave it to Rutabowa which is odd because I never give anything away.
I'm scared to watch "They Live" now.

So many particulars. So many questions.
ennit though? I was dreading it but fuck it was a great re-working.
Sylar put in an excellent performance as Spock.
ViolentPanda
Hardly getting over it.
All 6 episodes of "Apparitions".

Wake in Fright - pretty horrible aussie new wave thing from early 70s. Horrible kangaroo hunting scene. Destroy's the aussie good on 'ya mate myth.

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.
It didn't make me laugh and it was boring. Big Shame.

Never trust your memory. Some films are best left in the past.
I use to love Fright Night. Watched it the other day and switched it off after 20 mins. Same with From Beyond.
I'm not going to watch The Thing or any other old Carpenter movie.

Yup. I watched the fog a while back and almost went into a coma.

I've got a copy of Ichi O Assassino to watch tonight, and have the Black Society Trilogy on order.
What is your opinion on Andromedia? I have read some poor reviews.

It's laughably bad.

Ichi is awesome. The black society trilogy / shinjuku triad wotsit is mostly a little bit more on the dull side compared to other miike.
Andromedia??? Well it's bollocks to be honest but I have a soft soft for it. It's one of Miikes first bigger budget mainstream films. It stars a girl group (Speed) and a boy group (Da Pump) that where both extremely popular at the time. If you imagine take that and the spice girls doing Andromedia together it does seem pretty funny.
The end is fucking stupid too because it negates the whole caper eliment to pretty much everything that has gone before.
I was hardcore into Miike when I bought mine (I found the LTD DVD in a small back alley store in Shinjuku). There are about a million Miike films that should be further up your list before you watch Andromedia (in fact I would put the black society trilogy quite a long way down that list too).

In HD. Still exactly what it always was, a believable epic work of art, slightly tidied up (actually, a very nice HD cut). With Karen Allen in it.
I have a mate who looks just like Karen Allen...
