Daniel Robert Epstein: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Truth is, he's not even really considered a good director in Japan, the first Ju On BARELY made it to limited cinema release, the second one went straight to video. Truth is the Japanese DONT watch a lot of Japanese movies... odd...

Japan is sort of going through a revival with a lot of new great films, like Gozu, Zatooichi, Ichi the Killer, Ju On (in some respects, though I hate the Horror copy trend), the AMAZING Casshern (better than any movie that has come out in the US, besides LOTR for years), The Bird People of China...

Ishii, Miike, KUROSAWA (not Akira), and of course Takeshi "beat" Kitano are the ones to watch...

Ishii's "ELECTRIC DRAGON 80.000 V" is supposedly amazing...

everybody in the US says CTHDragon is an example of good asian cinema. And, well, it is, if you consider it asian cinema. yeah, it sucks that people don't know anything about asian film; but it's a fad. i guess i---and probably people like me---just get defensive and protective of what we feel is good work. like, the american remake of "oldboy" (korean film that won 2nd in the cannes festival) is slated for 2006, and I'm ALREADY pissed, haha.

sweet fucking christ when do they do that

and look at the picture bitches

She was in Scooby Doo. She's boring. But I still want to see it.

Plus, Firefly by Joss Whedon rules, my ex introduced me to the short lived FOX TV series on DVD.
