I have 2 absolute favs, one controversial.

"Survive Style 5+" Japanese film about 5 wild, interlocking stories including a man who keeps killing his wife (who keeps coming back to fuck him up) a murderous advertising rep, a man who gets hypnotized and thinks he's a bird, a group of teens robbing houses where two of the members might secretly be in love with each other, and a hitman. Both Tadanobu Asano and Vinny Jones is in it, lol.

The second is "The Holy Mountain" and that film...is a lot. It's stunning and fucked up at the same time.

survive style 5+ is so good! tadanobu asano is <3

[anterrabre]

I loved all the stories. The scene where the wife comes back to life and cooks him a huge breakfast before commencing to beat his ass always makes me laugh, plus I love their house.

[willardwright]

There was a time when Asano was my unrealistic fancasting for Bond. I still think it could be very fun.

[blazingeternity]

Oh my god... I never had this thought, but now I can't un-imagine it!! Asano rocks suits, knows his action, slays a suave scene... what more do they need?!

I've only ever seen Asano in Love & Pop (I loved this movie but it's not an easy watch, especially his role) yet I feel like I know too much about him because he seems to exclusively go after girls in the niche music scene I follow, a lot of DJs for some reason. He just married one this year, actually, 18 years younger than him. The announcement threw me for such a loop because I've watched her come up over the past decade and I did not see this in her future.

[anterrabre]

Yah, I follow him on Insta because he posts a lot of his artwork but his love life is hella messy!

[blazingeternity]

I think it tracks because he also DJs (electronic) when he's not doing punk with SODA! or drawing his weird DigMan comic. ngl I do side-eye him for marrying such a young woman, but I never heard anything bad about him, he appears to have a good relationship with his daughter... so idk. I love his on-screen work, he's one of my favourite actors, and that's what I try to focus on.

[roomgirl]

Yeah, I did hear that about him and was surprised that he has so much going on in different fields. He's just a typical man, I guess? The way he cheated on Chara with Diana Chiaki and then on Diana with Naka Riisa who he met through her was low to me. But I hope Kurumi is happy with him for how long they've been together now, even if I side-eye how young she was when they started dating.

I love Survive Style 5+! Such fun insanity.

IA about The Holy Mountain.

On that same thought The Cell to me is visually gorgeous, but the movie itself is messed up.

[anterrabre]

The Holy Mountain is amazing but it would NEVER be made in this day and age, plus it still makes religious people mad as hell.

The Cell is stunning too. I remember when the movie first was released it had a Flash Website where you could take a test and find out what mental "quirks" you had, lol. I loved Jennifer Lopez looks were so pretty; the scene where she dresses up like the Virgin Mary and makes a peaceful place for the boy always makes me cry.

[eva_hagberg]

She has never looked as gorgeous as there, neither in a movie, nor in real life.
I know a person, who was forbidding her children to play with Barbies, and when they were given one as a gift by unknowing friend, she would tear of their heads and let them play with those only, so they had a basket of Barbie heads at home.
And I always thought, DID NOBODY SEE "THE CELL"?!!

[anterrabre]

In my defense I was going through some things emotionally at that time, and people being soft and good for a change really set me off. She looked so warm and comforting too, it just really appealed to me.

[eva_hagberg]

You don't have to defend yourself. I don't even think she LOOKED comforting, I think she WAS comforting there. Her character felt genuine compassion towards the boy, and there's nothing wrong with that.

[hotdoggoz]

I can understand either letting your kids play with barbies or not, but a weird middle ground where they can only play with the heads?? Lol
