AJW Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 This is escellent Japanese cinema. Very anime - ish, crazy Aphex - ish music. Fast and beautiful editing. Grimy black and white. Industrial mood with wires and machines clanking everywhere. smoke rising. booster boots so you can hover fast around town. About a man who slowly turns into a walking pile of scrap metal. Starting with a small spike sticking out from his face and growing a huge drill for a penis. Anyone else know this film? I can deffo recommend it to the good folks in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegecow Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 honestly i heard a bunch of good things about this movie, but compared to uh akira coming out in 1988, and david cronenberg making scanners in 1981 (?!), videodrome in 1983... the fact that this is made in 1989 sorta confirms my opinion of this as art school horseshit. its about as good as the movies cronenberg was making when he was IN college, and that was in like late 60s no word of a lie. j.g. ballard (i fuckingg own this edition) wrote "the atrocity exhibition" in, let me check, published in 1966. too f in little an WAY too late. don't waste your time on this and just watch akira, gesus. hate to be a total SF snob but i'm fantastically dissapointed that this art school crap has any sorta reputation at all, just based on how far ahead a lot of other filmakers with. jesus AKIRA came out in japan befoe this did. derivative crap, anyhow?

Blir Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I love Bullet Ballet. Starring Merzbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 I love Bullet Ballet. Starring Merzbow. I will have to check out A Snake Of June despite the battering someone just gave it. Saw the second installment of Tetsuo which was ok but nowhere near the original, would still like to see Bullet Man tho Akira is also one of my all time favourites. Though best anime I've seen is probably Paranoia Agent which is in some aspects similar to Akira. How about Cat Soup for a slice of cute creepy anime short story?

goffer Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 420 you are out of your element... You could also argue that why even have Cronenberg make films when Lynch was making films like Eraserhead prior? And why have Ballard even write if Burroughs books mirrored the same atmospheric redolences. Just because someone defined a genre doesn't mean other awkward shut-ins, drug fiends, alcoholics, idee fixe(sp?) like folks can't also give it a go. I enjoyed Tetsou and have never considered it to be a Cronenberg ripoff. edit: accept my steam invite already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 cat soup is good for having been written and animated by a lawyer. 420 is kinda right, not totally tho. akira is the best; unequivocally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 420 is kinda right, not totally tho. akira is the best; unequivocally. I think the 2 movies can be compared but they are still totally different. Only one of them has a drill-dick sex/murder scene. Watch the movie before you make a concrete opinion on it 420.
