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.
