Can I recommend Survive Style 5+? It's pretty good. Oh! My Zombie Mermaid is a pretty dumb movie, but I think the ending stuff is worth it. Will try to watch at least a few of these as they come up since I love watching weird/good asian movies and spent a good long time watching a ton of them on CR before they went official.

Miike did a good job of blending real gangster movie with other stuff in ryu ga gotoku. The only thing really on my movie wishlist is watching an entire Torakku Yarou movie or the Sonny Chiba movie where he's a ninja though.

If we're opening up the Miike oeuvre, you gotta go with the musical he did, Happiness of the Katakuris.

on the media thing. i wasn't able to find a source, i probably read it one of the dozen music blogs i've followed over the years. the billboard page for them has a small mention of censorship though: 'their fame was growing ever bigger, not hindered even by a yearlong TV ban imposed on Blue Hearts by the stations because of the bandmembers' provocative behavior. ' although it describes them as quite liked by the media besides that. well who knows as for invites, some people have already contacted me on steam. currently the invite system is down though, so i can't send any. when its up i will rajio no jikan was good, i watched it the last time boom boom boom posted about it

btw it might be fun to do a shinobu yaguchi film since a bunch of them are pretty low key slice of life films. like a live action free (waterboys) or sound! euphonium (swing girls). his adrenaline drive is also a nice road trip movie. not the greatest films, just nice friendly comedies

My suggested viewing: Harakiri (Kobayashi, not Miike), and House. Both have Criterion blu-ray releases and are on Hulu Plus. I'd go as far as saying Harakiri is the best Japanese movie not made by Kurosawa, and House is as insane as anything in anime.

Is the whole thing about train-based castes a South Korean thing? I mean castes are a wide-reaching concept, but Snowpiercer really loving laid it in with those speeches on castes and shoes and hats.

Budget Prefuse posted:id say snowpiercer counts because everything about it is south korean but the other two definitely don't. just having an asian director isn't enough to qualify. How does a movie based on a French comic, filmed in Eastern Europe, starring mostly British and American actors, in English, have everything about it be Korean?

Budget Prefuse posted:because it's directed by a korean man, produced by a korean man, written by a korean man, has korean actors in a story that originally didn't feature any korean characters, had a korean cinematographer, was distributed by a korean company, premiered in korea and is listed as a South Korean movie. more importantly, why the gently caress does it matter? what retarded point are you trying to point out here? It's only co-written by a Korean man.

If it's officially classified as a South Korean movie, fair enough. I just always thought of it as a more international movie.

It's going to take us [Dr Evil voice] One Beelion years to watch everything cool that's already been suggested, but i would argue that Face-Off is a Hong Kong movie. We don't have to watch it since there's so many better movies to watch, but it could be a fun argument.

While I'm sure no shortage of people here have seen it I've got to suggest Drunken Master. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQMNllz6aE0 For extra fun drink to it and try to imitate Jackie Chan (please do not do this)

I asked in the "identify a movie thread" in CineD, and nobody had any idea, maybe y'all will know. Theres this movie I saw a few years back, I think in 2006 I bought it on DVD, so it was available on DVD in America in 2006. It also didn't seem too old at the time, so I think it was made in the last 90s or early 2000s. I'm 95% sure it was Korean. Could've been Chinese or Hong Kong, but I doubt it, and it definitely wasn't Japanese. It's about this group of criminals who do a crime of some sort, and a cop who's trying to stop them. There's a climactic scene at an opera house. The main thing I remember is the very end. The cop is in a department store when he runs into the main criminal. The cop doesn't want anybody to know that there's a criminal there, I think to avoid a panic, and the criminal doesn't want anyone to know either, so this very low speed chase scene ensues, where the criminal is trying to run away without looking like he's running, and the cop is chasing him without looking like he's chasing anybody. There's a guy playing a piano in the department store, and the beginning of the chase syncs up with the music. That's all I can remember. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I've just finished the first movie on the list, Linda, Linda, Linda! Slow start, good ending. Slice of life Japanese high school movie, if you've seen one before it's the same a lot of them are. The standout of the movie in my opinion is Son, a Korean exchange singer who becomes their reluctant lead singer for their covers of the Japanese punk-band The Blue Hearts. Three of the girls have some kind of driving motivation throughout the movie, one girl is just kind of there. Ironically she's the one who's actually in a band (Called Base Ball Bear) Another fun fact about casting! One of the lead girls was featured in both Battle Royale movies and Son, the Korean girl was in the popular Korean revenge movie "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" (She's the lead character's girlfriend) Overall: Not the best High School slice-of-life movie I've seen (I enjoyed Hana and Alice more) or the best music-drama (I'm a huge fan of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad). It still had a little charm, but seemed a little long for the kind of movie it is. 3.0/5 from me. I don't watch much asian films but it seems like every single live-action thing I watch has an actor from a different movie/show I've seen. e: I'm hours and hours early but it's technically sunday here okay
