Dubversion said:watched the first Infernal Affairs movie last night, which was very good indeed although initially a little hard to follow. I think this was because the leap from the young gang members being inducted through that weird trailer-style intro into the movie proper left us confused as to who was triad and who wasn't, it took a while to suss it all out but when we did it was fantastic. Anybody watch the alternate ending? bloody awful
are the others any 'cop' (heh, see what i did there?)
I'm sure I watched the alternate ending. Buggered if I can remember what it was though. Feel free to remind me

I'm glad you pointed that out - we were having terrible trouble for the first 20 minutes and I kept narrating my angst loudly
As an aside you may be able to help with, there was a trailer - a crazy trailer to a film called Visitor Q that was fucking intriguing. Do you know anything about it? There weren't any images really, just japanese writing and all these alarming sounds (apart from a bloke at the beginning with a towel round his head who kept going to grab his crotch I think.....)
Really strange...

I wholeheartedly agree, an absolutely fucking fantastic film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is superb in the lead.CharlieAddict said:

I tried to reply. It went like this
:It's not clear whether the random Triad who turns up at the end and kills the undercover cop is a Triad or a cop - it's clear he's a Triad in the original ending. Also - the Triad who's undercover as a cop is nicked at the end. It's shit as you have no idea how they nailed him - they just turn up and say that they know he's a Triad and take him away.
I can't explain it without the above happening

Yeah Takeshi Miike - this is insane, even for him. Check out Dead Or Alive too if you like deranged fun and the most absurd ending to a film ever.

DO I !!!!!
Best film ever ever.
Miike Takashi at his finest. This film has everything. Inceset, rape, murder, child muder, necropillia, tit milk, and a lot more.
Very funny too.

As is 'kishiwada shounen gurentai'. Lovely. Yokai Daisenso is also a little differnt for Miike but like his other kids film 'andromedia' a bit lacking.
Actualy don't watch andoromedia it is his shittest apart from silver, but at least silver is so shit it's sort of good.

Look you have sent me into a Miike Takashi mezmos fit, four posts!
I counted the other day that I have over 50 Miike DVDs!

I think the Streatham Hill Asian Film Festival has some more mileage in it then. Battle Royale 2 nearly brought about a premature ending the other day when 50% of the audience walked out, leaving the remainder floundering for some sort of integrity. The 50% with sense opened wine in the kitchen instead.

It would be something like 'trouble making boys that are from Kishiwada'.
Yokai Daisenso would be 'the huge demon war' or something like that.

Could be. There are two films in the Kishiwada series that miike made, the one with the little kids is the best but I don't remember which number it is.Minnie_the_Minx said:

Bokyo (nostalga) the small boys one is the best. I get confused because the second film (first miike one) is set after the last.
The other Miike one has a great death scene though.
Young thugs nostalga is Miike personal favorate as I reacal.

DVDs tend to be the only thing in Japan that are as expensive as the rest of the world thinks japan is. Well home grown jap films anyway, western films are cheap as chips for some reason.
Sounds like ima ai ni yukimasu (I think it's called to be with you now?) and crying out love in the centre of the world would be up your street. I haven't seen either though.
Have you seen thre korean 'my sassy girl' ? Bit long and a bit mushy, but you might like it.
