If I never witness the chef eating that sandwich again I will die a happy man.

I will keep a look out for Ichi though, sounds like it could be fun. You might be interested to know Ryûhei Kitamura is currently re-making Versus ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267401/ ). Once again the original is so unique how could you, but if he is doing it himself with more money it could work :) I could not agree with you more about wanting films to take you out of reality. Sometimes its just what you need, but other times you need a dose of reality to give a film meaning. One of my favorite films "Dr Strangelove" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/ ) is so strong because it deals with such a horrific concept in the best way possible, by making fun of it! (and it has the most memorable ending of any film) But there are times you want stupid fun.. and "The Machine Girl" delivers that :) Sideswipe was telling me the recent remake of "Monkey Magic" ( http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/7977763/Monkey-Magic/Product.html ) is excellent.. I think I will be getting that next... "Monkeeeeeeeee!" I really enjoyed Zatoichi (much to my surprise to be honest with you) but I’m not sure you can top it?

I've been interested in this film for a long time, and that trailer is the reason why. It's just completely outrageous fun. Just like when I first watched Versus (which I bought solely for the front cover of the dvd, guy in long coat, holding a large sword over his back with a gun in the other hand, all in black against a white background, how can you not think that's a cool cover? lol - and then I was pleasantly surprised), it was completely outrageous unrealistic fun, and those films are exactly what I want. Films which take me AWAY from reality (you have enough of it in your day to day life anyway, why want more?) are just pure awesomeness. So I am glad there are quite a few who like this film, I am surprised it's got a high score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to say, Terminator Salvation and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, both of which got really low scores. Thanks for the review, will definitely be getting this at some point. Oh and another film I will be getting in the next few days is Ichi, kind of a spinoff sequel? to Zatoichi, where a female blind swordsman is wandering the lands trying to find her master, stumbles upon a town which are being controlled by gangs etc and unintentionally gets mixed up in it, looks quite good so far :) This is a movie on my list to get.
