When U know Yer Old!

I know exactly what you mean by product of your generation! Me and my cousins would love to watch Zombie films when we were kids on the old Betamax Videos.  I dont reckon any of us suffered from nightmares even though we were like 9 years old - My parents let me watch anything when i was growing up even films with sexual references in them which is quite embarrasing when you are young!  A few years ago i discovered Japanese Horror which started with the Ring series - thought those were ace - collected a whole bunch of the since, rare and hard to find and cult classics and there are so many Western remakes of Eastern films its untrue.  Think the last one i watched was Kairo (Pulse for the American version) so little time these days.  If you get a chance grab yourself Kichiku Dai Enkai and Suicide Club, great films though i couldnt figure Suicide Club out.... It starts with a really surreal scene of about 20 Jap schoolgirls standing on a train platform to weird 80's music and they all jump in front a passing train smiling away, the amount of blood is tremendous.

Films like Hostel i think are just Violent and Gory just for the sake it:  i prefer films that make you think a little but there is nothing wrong with just kicking back and watching something you dont have to think about.  AND why do some people have this freaky gift to know how a movie is gonna end right at the start?? Clever ass so an so's!!

I liked the Eye stuff, even have Eye Infinity which i bought six months ago and still havnt watched, Takeshi Kitano or Beat Takeshi from the first Battle Royale (The director of BR 2 actually died during the making of and his son stepped in an ruined it)  is my fav actor though - he's the guy who has a show called Takeshi's castle on Sky where Japanese people do seriously crazy stuff! His early Yakuza style movies are fantastic.  As for Jap Horror wow i could go on all day about it but suprisingly i liked the weak ones like Blair Witch Project (2nd one Book Of Shadows was pants) big fan of Clive Barker's books too but have refrained from buying Jericho for the 360 for some reason?!

I didnt figure Sixth Sense until the end - yes me yes noob - i'm too tired for movie talk damn these burnout weekends are killing me....

There is nothing better than a 2am Horror movie, open fire spitting at you, pitch black - lights out (living in the middle of practically nowhere alone adds to the creepyness somehow) all the windows wide open, smokey atmosphere and a cool new Jap Horror movie - damn its been so long since i did that - passing out at 11pm will do that to you darnnit!

I don't watch the stuff (much, will watch from a SFX point of view, have written a psyco killer script, that was well recieved, and will be writting another soon, as i bought another cooks knife, if you have seen Dextor, it's along those lines, may even post it one day?), as i don't like torture to much, but have watched the Jap versions of most of the horrors, better than the yank remakes, but at least people will hear about and watch them after. I like Asian cinema  a lot, Old Boy, Happiness of the Katakuras, a must watch for all, as its mad as a bag of spiders, there is a new Jap horror called the Notebook, no not a romantic film from America, but a sort of like the diary of Lord voldimort from Harry Potter type of thing, saw it in Sing and awaiting it to make it way this way. Love Jap animation, big eyes, large bobbs etc, lol. Crap ,I have seen most films except for the stuff out this year, then just the majors, and the odd indipendent, Darwin Awards was a funny one. Have not seen Ichi, sorry dude, but thats just makes me feel like i should copy it, and i want to be a real boy, and live under the radar. Sorry read this and it does not make sence but muck it, I just need to write something. And love Beat, for the said film below, and he is so versitile, he even does stand up, lol.

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

Yeah i collected the whole original series for a friend of mine cost me like £300 and still havnt watched further than number 3 (first two were black an white) goes from 1969 or something but the Beat remake was hilarious - loved it mucho.  Old Boy is one of the best tho Suffer, the scene in the flats where he battles loads of bad guys in a corridor to get to the lifts is awesome - good story too, nice twist!

and there is lil old me thinking ah great a chin wag about the aches and pains of growing old and was about to mention my stiff joints in the mornings, glad I dident  now, I can't wach those kind of film's due to having the scary  mary syndrom, Its not the actual film that scares me, its usually happens a couple of days later when I finally get it, I cant even look in the mirror and say S.M three times, yep Im a wet blanket when it comes to those kind of films, Active imagination I like to call it, The last Horror Film I was stupid enough to see was Day of the Living Dead way back in the 80's and still have problems when if I  see an old man in a cemetery.

i might be the youngest freqent poster but i do remember growing up to scary movies like childs play, friday the 13th nightmare on elm street, hellraiser, holloween, texas chain saw masacre the origanl!, kristine hehe id like a car like that lol amaty ville horror, darkman all i grew up watching and i remember playing mortal kombat for sega befor there were any rateings for video game so much gore!! lol and im a sweet kids lol wouldnt hurt a lady bug haha

The harder to play every game makes you more a winner the cheating to the top!(it's like the needler got on Steroids!)

Im still waiting for someone to go with a modern day version of Christine with Hondas and stuff.        Christine : Fast and Furious.   Then they can make about 30 annoying sequels.   Sry, I've always been a big fan of the origianal,  wait, its not called the original cuz there isn't any other version right?  I need sleep.

I always thought they would be but now we have proof?  You say they're golden????

Hey Ichi - is that the movie you put your gamer tag together from? Kichiku Dai Enkai ?  I was watching one of those specials, something about 100 scariest movies and they had the Psychos and a bunch of Freddy movies in there but the one that got the top spot was some Asian horror movie about a girl that got blown off for a job interview and she abducted the interviewer and tortured the heck out of him.  And for the life of me I can't figure out what the title is.  I really wanna see someones #1 scariest movie.  I figured if anyone knows alot about foreign horror flicks someone on this page might might be able to help out.  I wish I had more to go off of but aparently it must be pretty popular and its fairly recent, like within the last 7 years or so?  It has a pretty short title, something that would be like (in english)  'the interview' or 'the message'  I know that answering machine messages are a big point of the story.  Crap, I wish I had more info.  Any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated.

One of the most prolific directors in Japanese history and the movie is Audition dude... Pretty visual torture scene at the end Eezo?!  He also made SUFFER'S recommendation Happiness Of The Katakuris which (im ashamed to say) is a bit of a rip off  a movie called The Quiet Family.  One of his best for me was Gozu - damn that was a funky thing to watch!

Thanks Ichi!  I knew you'd know what it was.

CAPS LOCK - Cruise control for AWESOME!!

Happiness, then quiet family, but the other way round, or the other way would be best, and i have keys made of cheese...

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

Here is a list i put together of what i managed to gather together before i got bored of collecting Eezo - Audition i dont seem to have but its worth the watch!  Watch out for the gay recommendations next to the films! Some of the best Asian films are on there but i've been out of touch with it for ages

Wow Word does weird things with your copy an paste thing!

I noticed you have Cowboy Bepop but no Samurai Champloo (/Champuru)?  I'm pretty sure it was Shinichiro Watanabe that directed both of the T.V. series (i think).  Have you seen the show before?  You just cant beat break dancin, beat boxin samurais man LOL!  That show is hilarious.  Kinda reminds me of Kung Faux, another one of my favorites... Old kung fu shows mixed up with hip hop dub overs and batman style "Kapow!   Zowie!  Blammos!"  Drawn in for each hit, and a running score / level indicator on the bottom of the screen.  Funny stuff.  I've heard really good things about Kung Fu Hustle but haven't had a chance to see that one yet, actually I've only heard good things about it, everyone who's seen it so far liked it.  Pans Labyrinth was a great movie.  Lots of good stuff in that flic.  I gotta say I was really surprised several times in that one and made me glad that I've never shot a rabit before LOL.  "Alright Capitan,  lets see a BIG SMILE mkay????"

Im kind of new to the Kung Fu scene so I need lots and lots of light hearted entertainment mixed in with mine LOL.

Some great choices, all the Car ones are a must, Drift racer, came from an animation, 6 or 9 disk set, no i did not buy it it was £30, and I could not afford it, i am poor, even on holiday, lol. I have 2 series of the Water Margin, seen most of your list, Apple seed, yes, awaiting the rest of Ghost in the Shell, CowBoy Bebop, awesome, what was the one with the Hospital bed that defends itself, has an OAP in it and the nurse is trying to save him, lol. Nice viewing dude. Anything with Stephen Chow is great, all round movies, with a musical on the side, lol. I had more to say but can't remember, But people must watch Dextor...

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?
