The Japanese are some sick bastards

The Movie Guy showed us an interesting selection of movies last night at Bookpimp's place. Every couple of months or so an even that is called "movie night" takes place at BP's. The Movie Guy has an amazing talent for choosing good bad movies. Some might think that Space Balls is a good bad movie. These people haven't seen Ms. .45 Summary: mousey mute waif girl gets raped twice in one day and goes on a shooting spree in New York and kills only men. The Lesbian Straightener was keeping score and in his words "was tripping over symbols."

After we struggled through the eighty minutes of Ms. .45 we trekked over to the movie room of Bookpimp's apartment complex. The movie room is fucking amazing. It's the Sistine Chapel of entertainment systems. The sound system is so good that it's just like sitting in a theater. We were shown a sick piece of Japanese sadism called "Ichi the Killer." The plot: indescribable. The violence: constant and bloody. The ending was like Hamlet, everyone died. Although it was disgusting it was not revolting since most of the violence was cartoonish and much of it took place off screen. The sound effects are what really grossed everyone out.

Two scenes stand out to me from Ichi the Killer. In one scene Ichi, who wears a mutan ninja turtle type suit with the number one on his back, runs into a room full a yakuza and kill them all. All we see is the open door while buckets of blood and entrails fly out the door. A human face actually smacks a wall and slides down it like a flat snail that looks like a human face. The other scene standout scene features Ichi killing a guy with the blade that sticks out the heal of his superhero boot. He slices the guy from head to crotch, slicing him in half. The two halves of his body slowly seperate. Disgusting yet entertaining.

When is the next movie night?
