I can imagine. I've got the art for Porco Rosso checked out right now (which I need to remember to scan before I leave) and seeing the pre-production art is really inspiring. Great little watercolor pieces.

I'm about an hour into Martyrs and I don't think I've ever felt so awful from just watching a movie. My stomach literally hurts. I honestly don't know why I'm still watching - it feels like an obligation. I want there to be justification or... something. Anything.

I feel like I just watched a snuff film. I can understand reviews I've read since that really appreciate it but I'm not convinced the ending was nearly transcendent enough to... 'justify' what the film did to me. Hmm. I'm going to be thinking about this one.
I'm going to go finish off Standalone Complex again to see if I feel better about myself haha

On that note, here's the trailer for the new Johnnie To film Vengeance
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
looks to be another stylish shoot em up in the vein of Exiled, but with a more detailed plot. Not complaining, To's probably the only HK director I still pay to watch in theaters.
edit: jesus christ Thirst looks fucking dark...no depths to Park's madness

You also got to hand it to Johnnie To for constantly being a very vocal thorn in the side towards the pathetic TVB-dominated dictatorship that is the HK visual and performing arts scene, at least a good 90-95% of it, and still staying well above water. It's not every day someone can make it by playing to their own tune in this town.

just looked up Martyrs on IMDB, seems like an interesting watch. Hey Jonn, how'd you access the film here in good ol' China? I haven't seen it around anywhere, seems like something I would notice if it was...around.
man nevermind I just read one review that somewhat details what happens in the film with pics - i'm staying the fuck away from this one.Last edited by Fade to Black; 05-12-2009, 09:27 AM.
