Sukiyaki Western Django Trailer

I have to preface this entry by saying that I am not a film geek at all. I spent two hours of my life last night at a Mamma Mia sing-a-long, so I know my tastes in movies are far from discriminating. So with that said, I’m very excited about Sukiyaki Western Django, a cowboy movie splattered with a whole shitload of blood, and with a whole shitload of Japanese aesthetic. Jackson Pollack would be so proud

But film nerds would pinpoint that the real selling point is the film’s director, Takashi Miike, the master of modern horror/uber-violent Japanese cinema. The only Miike film I have seen is Audition. I watched it years ago at a shady ghetto Halloween house party with way too many mind-altering vices in my body and with way too many feisty-fingered fratboys trying to pull the “hey, I’ll protect you from scary movies, let me put my arms around you” bullshit. The bad thing? I vomited. I don’t remember the entire movie but I do recall flashes of pure grossness that tickled my gag reflex. The good thing? The movie acted like some sort of cultural media castration because all the guys in the room vowed to never to mess with chicks ever again. So really, I have no actual knowledge of Miike’s craft but I do know he’s a guy with a pretty vivid imagination. So here’s to hoping that his new cowboy movie won’t make me blow chunks.
