NEWS: Quentin Tarantino Teams Up with Takashi Miike

How can anyone not like Mike?!

...and even if you consider both of these directors movies to be nothing more than mindless violence and action how the hell can you think of that as a bad thing?

I don't have any problem with the guy at all, but you'd be amazed how difficult the guy is to appreciate. You either love him, or you think his films are unwatchable. That's kind of the divide.

Certainly cant argue there, anyone who a fan is rabid and those who dislike his work find it vile.

I love mindless overdone gore!

Dude. Trust me, you haven't seen all Miike's films. For one thing, he turns out roughly 3 per minute, only a relatively small percentage of which make it to the US. Second, although he's earned notoriety for films like Audition and Ichi the Killer, his work goes all over the fricking map. Yes, he does really really weird and extremely violent/disquieting. But if you think that's all he does, you might want to rent Rainy Dog, or The Bird People of China. For example. I will, however, grant you that this is more likely to be like the former pair than the latter pair.

As for the news of the movie: I am always happy to hear of a new Miike movie, especially one that will make it to America. But Tarantino as an actor in a Miike film doesn't excite me especially. Tarantino and Miike co-directing a movie, now, *that* would be mindblowing.
