Hey All.
Sorry for the late-ish notice, but if you were at Freddy v. Jason last tuesday (and a big shout out to everyone who was. it was hella-fun (excuse the pun) if only barely tolerable. i did plan on posting a review, but this week kinda wupped my ass. maybe i'll get around to it later. ha ha) you already know. so you have no excuse.
so: This Tuesday (Aug 26) starting at 7pm (because meeko has to get up the next day) we will be providing for your viewing pleasure, two early Kenji Fukusaku films as a memorial tribute.
7pm GRAVEYARD OF HONOUR
9pm YAKUZA GRAVEYARD
(graveyard theme was unintentional, it's just what we got)
For those of you not clear on who Fukusaku was, he was the director of BATTLE ROYALE and one of the most prolific Japanese directors right up until his death earlier this year while filming BATTLE ROYALE 2 which was finnished by his son who knew it was likely his father would die during the filming.
The films on Tuesday are from his early '60's Yakuza cycle and are considered two of his best, and two of the best of the genre.
Also, schedule permitting we may have a special guest: Vancouver's own Sinister Sam in attendance.
RSVP me if you can so we have an idea of numbers (or to get directions).
Later,
~meeko
