Hataraki Man Haircut
As you can tell, I'm in need of a haircut...
After having obsessively watched Hataraki Man (10 episodes, one week), I now have a serious crush on Kanno Miho, and I want her hair. Good? Bad?

Perfect Blue
Just saw Perfect Blue for the first time, and loved it. I think I may even have prefered it to Paprika... Not sure about that yet, may have to watch it again.
Lots of R&D will be needed re: Japanese classes. Speaking of which, I'm in the mood for a couple of episodes of Lain... How sweet it is to finally be taking classes that actually rock my boat.

Satoshi Kon 1963-2010
*How incredibly sad. I loved Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers and was looking forward to his next picture. Here's his obit in today's Times.

Kurosawa Centennial
There's an Akira Kurosawa centennial celebration being held all through the month of August at Cinéma du Parc and we're going to go see Seven Samurai on Saturday, which I've never seen. I'm excited and anxious at once - I want to LOVE it because if I don't, it's not the kind of thing you can admit, now is it? Sort of like telling anyone who will listen that YOU HATE ALL OF ALMODOVAR's movies...
Oups.
Note * I am most definitely not equating one director to the other btw.
Update: Just started Yoshida's Villain - so far, so good my friends.
Update #2 I LOVED Seven Samurai! It was funny and sarcastic - perfect. Villain was a great read, but so sad...

Shuichi Yoshida's Villain
Shuichi Yoshida is being billed as the new Stieg Larsson by the WSJ. Read the article here. The book in question, Villain, has been made into a movie and will be shown at the Montreal International film fest in September. I've just ordered the book on Amazon... Will let you know my thoughts as soon as I've read it.
In the meantime, in other Japan-related news, let's all get together and try to coerce Evokative Films (using charm - nothing kinky please) into distributing Yoshihiro Nakamura's films on DVD here in Canada.
Evokative Films Website.
Their Facebook page.
We saw Fish Story and Golden Slumber this summer and were completely hooked. We want more!!
