What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

cheers, just the job.

So what's the best bit torrent site for Miike movies?

Yipes I have no idea about the internet and computor stuff like that. I got all my Miike films the old fashoned way and bought them.

Some are a little hard to come by and only exist as pirates not even available in Japan.
Looking forward to Waru

Looks like quite old school Miike

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

bearing in mind Miike makes 700 films a week and some are shit, and that i've seen this and Audition, what should I look out for next?

Have you seen Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 2?

 

[Dubversion]

Have you seen Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 2?

nah, maybe i'll go for those next..

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

nah, maybe i'll go for those next..

No go for Ichi next then the dead or alives.

Personally, I'd go for the DOAs first!

Ichi is more easy going, funny and weird like Visitor Q. I think it's a good Miike starting point. DOA 1 is a rough old school miike that I like very much but its a different sort of thing (until the end where it is a different sort of thing altogether).
I have a bit of a thing for DOA 3 because it is a short cheap and stupid film with a bizzaro ending but it's not a good place to begin IMO.

We should do a Miike Takashi monthly film night thing. I've got nearly all his stuff on DVD and I might even be able to arrange viewings in the big screen cinema room thing we have here.
If anyone's interested I can't promise anything but I could look in to it.

sounds like a great idea

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I enjoyed Dead or Alive 2 better for some reason (not as much in the way of bodily fluids putting me off my meal ). Also scenes in it that remind me very much of Kitano (and I'm sure I've read you like his stuff)

I do, especiallyu a movie like Sonatine where the moments of violence are mixed with that really reflective, simple stuff..

Never got Sonatine. Can't remember why though. Think I kept hearing that the quality of the DVD was shit, can't be sure though

ah, according to a couple of reviews on Amazon, the sub-titles are all over the place

So come on - is it Miike Takashi or Takashi Miike?

 

[LDR]

Citizen Kane. I got it for a couple of quid in a sale.

It wasn't bad at all and shit load better than the dross that's in the charts at the moment.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I go for Takashi Miike


I think family names come before first names

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I go for Takashi Miike

And you would be wrong.

It's Miike Takashi. The confusion is that in Japan your family name comes first so quite oftern in western credits etc the family name is stuck the at the back. Miike is his family name. Only very close friends, lovers or family would ever call you by your given name and then it would probably be shortened to something (in Miikes case) like Ta-kun.

Well I knew that. Just thought I'd confuse things















actually wasn't sure which way it went, but mainly see his name written Miike Takashi (which I think most Westerners would go for anyway as it looks like Mike)

someone should tell them Mick's a lot easier

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

so, Takeshi Kitano or is he really Kitano Takeshi?

I'd always thought it was Miike Takeshi and Takeshi Kitano but then get confused with the family name bit

Beat Takeshi

I'm pretty sure his family name is Takeshi but I'm not 100% on that.

You pronouce Miike Mee-kay

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Beat Takeshi

Ah, but that's ONLY when he's acting isn't it?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm pretty sure his family name is Takeshi but I'm not 100% on that.

Exactly. Mickey

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Exactly. Mickey

Er, that's not the same (are you playing with me?)

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Er, that's not the same (are you playing with me?)

Yes











well.... not playing with you as such

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Yes

News just in

Takeshi is his first name. Kitano is his family name.

Suplex in 'falable' shock!

Last night I watched Le Boucher.

It came free with a newspaper.
