I was going to post in "pure cinema" but I can't find the clip online of the best car chase ever from the "Yakuza Papers" "Battles Without Honour and Humanity" series of films directed by Kinji Fukasaku that is just total vicarious white knuckle action
just get the box set of six films and work it out

I guess some Japanese people do, but this is the kind of thing that would drive my sister-in-law mad.

in Tokyo they have a whole district, `Shin Okubo', that is all k-pop and shitty popcorn chicken focused, but the Don Quiote store there was one of the best when we visited, they had "baseball hats" you will never see any where else ( according to my travel companion, I have no need of head gear, I have full head full of hair in my imagination ), but yeah, they did have hats you will not find elsewhere - when in Japan it is best to explore any and every Don Quiote store because they are all unique and if you see something you like buy on sight because you will never see again

what about "Copenhagen Cowboy"?
have I mentioned about "Valhalla Rising" is one of the finest "PURE CINEMATIC EVENTS"?

I work with a woman, she asked us "have you heard of George Best?", and obviously we said "yes' and then she got her phone out and showed us a picture and said 'that's my dad" and there was a guy ( her dad ) surrounded by twenty plus "dolly birds" and off to left was George Best, barely in frame, looking like a third wheel, a spare part
edit:
this industrial occult proto house piano raver 12 inch has a youthful George Best on the cover

at the moment I'm reading a neo-Noir novel by Fuminori Nakamura called "The Rope Artist" about the connections between Shinto, Cannabis and "rope bondage" ( "Kinabaku" as distinct from "rope torture") and there is a whole implied rant about how everything wrong with Japan is down to Korea and China but the 'rope artist" isn't really down with that
it's a confusing novel, is the patron of the hostess club with a missing finger actually yakuza or did he really chop his finger off and insert in the vagina of a sub who was the muse of one or more 'rope masters'?
I'll have to finish reading it, about a hundred pages of double spaced prose to go....
