NEW MINIMOCK: "ICHI THE KILLER!"

[Bod]

I watched half of that film and couldn't stand any more.
Sickening violence just for the sake of it.

[Dr. Boogie]

Oh, come on. I admit the scenes when the pimp is beating up the girl aren't particularly fun to watch, but so much of the violence is so overdone as to appear comical, like the cheek-pinching and the pimp getting split in 'twain.

Last night I finally watched the rest of Goku after falling asleep the first four times (less the movie's falut and more of mine for having a screwy sleep pattern). It was weird had had a couple of funny parts but I just flat out didn't see the point of it. At all. Maybe there wasn't one. I kind of feel the same way about Ichi.

Nah Dr Boogie (a dr of what btw?) I cannot agree with you. There was a bit where he was torturing a bloke strung up by his skin pouring boiling oil on him. Made me squirm. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one for weepie/girly movies, I prefer to be scared stupid, left on the edge of my seat, but that was just nasty. Not comical at all - maybe I've just not been desensitized enough?

You might like Miike's other films, Bod. They're not as gross or scary.

You say you're not one for girly movies, but I do suggest you check out Audition, done by the same guy. Just so you can get a better sense of the guy's style without the gratuitous torture and gore scenes.

But his expression...and when he says "Just a little torture.." when asked what he's doing. I lol'ed

That was probaly my favorite minimock I have read so far, The more violent the better, but the guy cutting out his tounge was a little weird.

[the_dudefather]

got this on DVD a few years back (when it was supposibly on sale for only one month before being taken off the shelves again or something)

the tongue scene and the finger back snapping were a bit nasty :P

might get story of ricky sometime soon (which was minimocked a while back)

To answer Bod's question.

Dr.Boogie is a Doctor of all things awesome.
