SHOULD SCOOTER WATCH THIS MOVIE WITH ME: LET SKATZ BE THE JUDGE

[SkyNigger]

I haven't watched The Machine Girl. But pretty sure they stole the idea from that horrible Planet Terror abortion - which is pretty noose considering it's usually the other way around.

Also, lets be clear on something. Planet Terror was a Robert Rodriguez joint, not QT. While paired up with QT's Death proof in Grindhouse, please don't put the blame for the PT abortion on QT. I thought death proof was kinda god, actually, particularly that Kiwi stunt woman.

haha first off, *FACE*. MODED. TOTALLY KNEW YOU DIDNT WATCH IT. HOLY SHIT MODED TO THE MAX.

second off, there is a long history of japanese movies that fetishize the conjunction of machine and human, starting to my knowledge with Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989).

The Machine Girl has _nothing_ in common with Planet Terror stylistically, morally, or spiritually and, iirc, was already filmed and in post production by the time Planet Terror was in theaters.

its just an over the top hella violent yakuza vengeance flick.

you seen Battle Royale yet? thats probably a bit more your speed, touch more sophisticated affair.

off topic, thinking of going to Climax tomorrow night.

I liked Battle Royale. If QT or someone equally talented remade it so it wasn't quite so hacky, I would adore it. All the elements for hof are there.

I've started a 'sober' phase of the endless cycle - which means I'll be bored, tilted and overall noose until I say "fuck it" and the other part of the cycle swings around.
