[The Third Man]

I'm not as big on Tokyo Story as most - I think it's really good, but when it comes to Japanese film give me the exciting [expletive] like Harakiri and Woman in the Dunes and Tetsuo: The Iron Man - but saying nothing happens in a movie that's about life and death itself is weird.

You know what similar film is even better? Yi Yi. [expletive], that's a great movie.

Yes, I think I prefer the Japanese movies where things happen. Like Kurosawa. Or "Gate of Hell", which was tremendous.

And OK, the wife croaks, so one thing happens in "Tokyo Story".

First look at Aquaman.

Harakiri and Woman in the Dunes

OH HELL YES. (I haven't seen Tetsuo yet)

I think that's part of my frustration with Ozu. I WANT to like him because I've seen gobs and gobs of amazing Japanese films. Kurosawa is on a very short list of what I consider the best ever. I liked The Face of Another even more than Woman in the Dunes (Pitfall, too... but let's face it, that whole Teshigahara trilogy is amazing). Kon Ichikawa's Fires on the Plain; ghost stories and horrors like Ugetsu, Kwaidan, the deliciously nutty Hausu, Jigoku, Onibaba, and Kuroneko; the monster movies (Gojira and that whole line of films); the samurai films- the Zatoichi movies, Yojimbo, and a billion others... Japanese cinema kicks so much ass. In terms of world cinema, I'd put it only behind France. (just my opinion; your results may vary)

Caught "Kwaidan" off of TCM as well. Pretty nifty.

Of all the superheroes to take way too seriously. Ready for the bubble to burts.

I don't think it is for a stand alone movie, but a Justice League movie.

Zack Snyder is like that guy that uses all his Photoshop filters because he can.

Birdman is my 2nd favorite movie featuring Edward Norton, alter egos, and characters shooting themselves in the face.
