Very few people can compete with J Lo in that category. Koizumi does have that "lion hair" going for him.

Regardless of J-Lo's bootage, she's right up there with Julia Roberts as far as "actresses I don't like" goes.... bleh

BTW, has anyone seen "Kikujiro no Natsu" with Kitano Takehashi? That is a really strange, screwed up movie....

The most uncommon Kitano movie. Screwed up? You mean the-homeless-dude-attempted-taking-off-the-boys-pants?
What can I say, hmm. I really have no answers to it, Kitano just put that scene in the movie. Not really serious though (the scene). Actually the issue is sensitive in the Western countries.
There are even worse screwed up movies around. There are plenty of funny and fantasy-like scenes in the movie and gotta love Kitano's silly jokes. Kitano knows how to make moving scenes and capture the audience's feeling.
Again the music by Joe Hisaishi is excellent!

I sense some sarcasm, Geez...

Dang! Am I being too subtle again?

Though without subtlty or sarcasm I'll say straight out... I'm with you BMW. I see no point in either Julia Roberts or Jennifer Lopez.

Yes.

I can safely say that my home is Julia AND J-Lo free. And I plan to keep it that way. Big Grin

I used to not think Jennifer Lopez was that bad...until she became really famous. She did one of those personality morphs into a spoiled brat. Hmm...now that I think about it, I don't have any movies with Julia or Jennifer either.... I think a better sequel to Shall We Dance would have Koizumi and Bush dancing together.... _________________ -=kitakaze=-

After all the talk about Shall We Dance on this thread, I put it on my Netflix list (my VHS copy has long since disappeared) and watched it last night. Man, it just gets better each time I watch it. _________________ Manga is to Literature what Graffiti is to Art

Just 'cause there's no body count or CGI doesn't mean a movie isn't spectacular... Beaten

I'm not a big fan of ramen and noodles... in fact, the stuff they were putting in the ramen in "Tampopo" pretty much freaked me out. But I was, and am, wild about every frame in that movie. I think Juzo Itami was as close to being a genius as a commercial film maker gets. The Funeral Tampopo Taxing Woman Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. _________________ Manga is to Literature what Graffiti is to Art

Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2005 1:24 pm Post subject: The Fall Guy

I don't know whether I should put this here, or over on the "Yoshitsune" thread, but... I just watched a movie from 1982 titled "The Fall Guy" It's a wonderful behind-the-scenes story about a bit player in Samurai movies set at the Toei studios in Kyoto. Funny movie. Worth watching if you're a fan of the genre. But what really struck me is that in 1982, Keiko Matsuzaka was a freakin' goddess. You can see her now playing Kiyomori's wife in Yoshitsune, and it's clear that she's still a good looking older lady. As she was the good looking older lady in "Proof of the Man", and in the movie, "The Happiness of the Katakuris". But in 1982... she was spectacular. _________________ Manga is to Literature what Graffiti is to Art
