Anyone hear of Miike's Django remake?



Looks interesting. I have a copy waiting for me to watch.

Longer Promo.

It's actually in English, and Tarantino has a cameo.

Heard of it a while ago. I assume it's available now? I'd be more excited if I didn't hate Tarantino's acting and generally dislike Miike's films.

I'm going to have to check this one out. I finally saw Django for the first time only recently, and while I didn't love it as much as I hoped, I really, REALLY liked it. I'm also still a bit of a Miike newbie, having only seen Audition and Ichi the Killer, but I have almost all of his other movie on my Netflix queue. Looks like I'm going to have to add this one to the pile.

After about 10 minutes, I gave up and turned on the Japanese subs. There's English, and there's Engrish, and then there's Engrish in a Miike film.

Movie's pretty fun though. QT was amusing in his brief scenes.

Yeah, I've been hoping for an opportunity to check this out. Please let me know how it is when you get around to watching it.

Oh shit, been looking forward to this one for awhile now but it disappeared off my radar. If I wasn't at work right now I could check out the promo's, but alas the state of New York won't let me Youtube whilst doing (supposed to be doing) my work.

Thanks for bringing this back to my attention.

My friends at xploitedcinema have it on blu-ray...but it's a Japanese blu-ray, so it's a million dollars.

No way in hell will I pay for something that sounds (not sounds as in "appears to be", but sounds as in "sounds") as irritating as this does based on the trailers I've seen. Pity, as it looks rather glorious. I'd love to see it dubbed in (actual) English like a proper Spaghetti Western, and I'd settle for it dubbed into Japanese with English subtitles, but in it's present Engrish form it is totally unappealing to me. Definitely I'll try before I buy this one.

It's really great. Best thing Miike's done since Fudoh. Yes, I'm kind of including Audition in that bracket. Completely different to that horror opus of course, but SDW is just the kind of ridiculously entertaining, unhinged lunacy that made Miike's name one to watch out for in the first place. Action's great, pacing's great, acting's utterly bizarre, score's a blast.

If is took this to rattle him out of One Missed Call-generic filmmaking, all power to him.

QT has the weirdest accent of the piece, incidentally. He's fun.

No love for the Bird People in China?

This one isn't available on the ol' Canuck Netflix wannabe, looks like I'll have to resort to Jack Sparrowing a copy.

Only AZN import at the minute I guess. Hits the US sometime in August, I gather...

Don't Jack Saprrow it! Save your Asian favourites from being left on the pile of unwanted acquisitions becasue no one wants to purchase them because they have them already. You know it makes sense.

Devin's review: http://chud.com/articles/articles/16...NGO/Page1.html

I wonder how Ji-woon Kim’s THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE WEIRD compares.

I doubt we'll see anything resembling this 3 disc in the States for SWD:

That is tempting.

But not 80 dollars tempting. Still, looks pretty cool.

Don't sail those seas my friend, I ordered it from Cine East for 15 bucks a couple months ago.

It made its US premiere in New York last month. The Escapism Film Festival in Durham, NC is going to be playing it in mid October. I'm looking forward to seeing this one.

Having just gotten back from seeing this, I'd pay the $80. Absolutely amazing, the kind of movie that, now that I know about it, will be a palpable absence from my collection until I own the nicest version of it my money can buy.

Regarding the phonetic English, most of it was actually quite intelligible and I think the movie would lose something in dubbing - some of the poetic strangeness of particular lines, and the weird commentary it makes on the medium itself, which I think Devin mentions in his review. I actually wish most of it hadn't been subtitled, because the subs draw my eyes down away from the beautiful visuals and they were very rarely necessary.
