lol yeah Michael Bay. dunno how

Angrist: you answered, but the Chaw movie is kind of a low budget thing. The boar's about the size of two grizzly bears. I wouldn't bother with it in case you were wanting a monster movie.

The Happiness of the Katakuris - A comedy from Miike. I laughed my ass off the first viewing, but I was intoxicated. It's gruesome, but not really. If you've seen Ichi the Killer this is polar opposite tameness.

Takeshi Kitano has a new film that just showed at Cannes. Outrage. I'm looking forward to it, mostly because while I hate a lot of serious yakuza films, kitano's are in their own realm of cool. Sometimes the violence and darkness are a bit much, but he makes you feel the characters and combines it with expert filmmaking. See Hana-bi for one of his less violent yakuza films. Still really good, methodically slow stuff that works. Beat knows how to burst violence so it matters.

And in case someone here hasn't seen it yet, The Warriors (1979). Just sayin, it's fucking awesome ambience.

edit: twitchfilm.net Found some interesting films on his review list that I'm getting now. I wish I could find Symbol(2009).
