    Another interview with me is up, and you can read it here. I think I’ll add permanent links in my “about” section to these (also the one done with Robert).

    Japanese cinema specialists Midnight Eye have recently released a new update to their site that includes a lengthy interview with Kitamura Ryuhei (known for his cult classic VERSUS, and now director of the final Godzilla film), and a review of THE TASTE OF TEA, the new film by SHARK SKIN MAN AND PEACH HIP GIRL…

    Marxy lets us know that Tokumaru Shugo (who I’ve been gushing about for a couple of weeks now) will be live at Enban in Koenji on Friday June 4 (he goes on at 7). That is absolute bad news for me because my job prevents me from seeing live shows that start at 7 during…

    Looks like Godzilla is going out with a bang. The 28th film in the series will pit Godzilla against 10 other monsters, wrecking Sydney, New York, Paris, Shanghai and much of Japan in the process, said a spokesman for production company Toei. But this won’t really be the last film in the series. Godzilla is…

    More pics from the Shilin night market (thanks for the name reminder, William). The meat buns they’re preparing in the image to the left was probably the best thing I ate while I was there. It seems like it’s quite the popular counter, as we had to wait a long time in line. Cooked in…
