"Following the screening, Miike returned to the stage for a question and answer session with a Japanese film critic whose name I was unable to catch. The critic misleadingly described the film as a "gay horror", but Miike explained that his concept was to place characters based on Yabuki Joe and Rikiishi from the venerable manga/anime "Ashita no Joe" in a prison setting."

This is 46-okunen no koi, in case you're wondering, the one with Ando Masanobu and Matsuda Ryuhei. Supposedly on the quiet artsy end, not the pulpy violent one, but...

Thanks to everyone who commented on the last couple of music posts. ^^ I just worry sometimes, like, "Would you like me to post something else? Really if you'd like me to post something else, 遠慮しないで、just say the word!"
In other news, Flash class is cancelled today due to instructor's cold, so the course will be extended for one week - but if it hadn't, I'd've only had two weeks to complete the final project. O_O;; *works furiously*
I like what we've been doing, though: the classes are conducted at breakneck pace well beyond the paper curriculum, and there's a lot of emphasis on achieving specific effects with little headache-reducing tricks, which is what "mastery" of these hulking and labyrinthine MacroDobe design software suites is all about.
