More from Japan

I've already talked about how Japan's main export is surrealism but we're kinda sorta over it.

But today is sort of a slow news day. Plus we're lazy. So we're breaking the glass and pulling ourselves out some good-old-fashioned Japanese Surrealism.

But before we start, I'd like to note that this isn't coming from some random game-show or kid's cartoon, this one comes from a genuine auteur. Takashi Miike- who has made some great films, such as Visitor Q, The Happiness of the Katakuris, and Audition- but not Ichi the Killer, which despite what the film-student with tattoos who is talking way too loudly one table over from you at the coffee shop insists is not the most brutal/awesome/best movie ever. It's just not. Go slap that guy.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah- embeddable video player, go!!!!



So there it is folks.

As far as release info for the US, I don't know, and frankly I'm not going to bother to look it up, because if it's anything like most of Miike's other movies, it will end up being unceremoniously dumped to DVD sometime next year.
