just wanted to post saying i love anything Takashi Miike so much. XD that guy is one creative director. i just think he deserves a mention as i don't think he quite gets his due outside of japan.

Great finds! I really wish I understood what was going on in that yokai clip; it looked interesting.

Which one? The big group scene? That was probably longer than it needed to be, but I just wanted to show them all - including the before shot of the River Princess. Nothing special happening other than various discussion about needing to fight the bad guy and everyone bowing out.

Still can't figure out how to rip subs with dvdshrink - seems like it would be automatic but that might only be for ripping the entire film.

Ok....this film has a mixture of clips (and it's Japanese), so I'm just sticking them all here for simplicity's sake.

I also had the brilliant idea to rip some screen shots - so you can see if you like it ahead of time ;p

A nice little adaptation of the Osamu Tezuka manga - a little heavy on the CGI but fairly original story - Dororo.

Clip 1 - demon fight - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RPAMQNMA

Clip 3 - female TF to demon - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U0TWJZ9A

Clip 4 - demon fight - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3XLQBB8P

Clip 5 - male tf to demon - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9MJT6RBY

Too lazy to write a summary but this review sums up the general gist ;p - http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/dororo-review/

Another strictly Japanese film - so here it goes.

A j-horror movie about hair....hair extensions: "Exte: Hair Extensions".

Not sure why we can't just get a good hair growth scene that isn't so disturbing (most of the "really good" hair growth scenes in this movie are from a corpse(!)). Why can't someone make a movie with some nice, cute bimbo tf scenes with lots of hair growth/curling, etc???

Oh yeah, and some of the child abuse subtext undertones make the movie really disturbing. http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/exte-review/

Death by hair - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R6FKNWQU

Extreme hair growth (and death) - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HDWEO39C

Still, it's a little more original than some recent j-horror out there. I'll be listing my R3 HK dvd on ebay tonight if anyone's interested.

I actually liked the part where her hair all retracted into her head the most in that one. Kinda reminded me of how some TFs are described in stories of hair receding before being replaced with something else. But the death parts, not so much.

thanks for the clips

I'll grant you it's all fake (a couple steps above Troma IMO), but still pretty wild - I'd call it Evil Dead/Evil Aliens level gore - but then Evil Dead didn't have a guy getting his dick bitten off and growing a cannon to replace it....Evil Aliens is a little closer ;p (maybe Undead as well - need to watch that one again too).

This is a clip from the middle - interesting visit to a truly messed up fetish club. Again, I highly recommend checking out the DVD on netflix (or even xbox live movies) - or just buying it. I haven't even ripped the excellent scenes with a quad amputee with samurai swords or machine guns for limbs or the school girl squirting acid from her breasts and melting another cop.

BTW, any feedback on these - quality, etc - is appreciated (I already mentioned the subs issue).

Bumping for anyone in the DC area - I am really looking forward to the chance to catch TGP theatrically at the freaking Smithsonian this next Thursday.

Seriously - with the art film crowds I've seen at some of these other indy screenings - I cannot wait to get their reactions to this flick ;p

[thrandrall]

Just came across a trailer for an upcoming Japanese tv show - The Ancient Dogoo Girl.

Here's hoping it makes some appearances on youtube or even US dvd eventually. I counted several different process bits (even if a bit cheap - a lot more than the normal US show) and pretty fun overall. By the same production team as some of the other crazy effects movies I've posted here before.

Also, I should have some more clips up here in a few days hopefully.

Yeah.. that's pretty high up there on the weirdness scale.
