You do know Megaupload is gone, right?

I'll refer you to my post 2 days ago: "Also, please let me know if there are any clips previously posted that you'd like to see again. Everything I put up before was on megaupload so probably long gone - but I can reupload with rapidshare or something similar if there's anything you'd like to check out."

Hence my query whether the new rapidshare links for the videos I just posted were working....

Well, appears that it only just had a Japanese premiere, so it'll be a while before it shows up over here.

The long-overdue update that absolutely nobody was waiting for ;p

Now this turned out to be an interesting situation. One movie I've been waiting for a long time, that turned out somewhat disappointingly. Another one that received somewhat shoddier reviews that seemed in my opinion to be a more solid product - conceptually and visually.

First: Psycho Gothic Lolita - saw the trailer a while back - posted in this thread. Reviews were pretty mixed but kinda low at amazon, dvdtalk, even twitch. Might just be that I'm kinda inclined towards the fashion - just check my site - but the main character was pretty well designed on the whole, excellent outfit, nice concept, albeit traditionally stereotypical backstory. One decent TF - clip below. One nice change was a heavier emphasis (comparatively speaking) on some practical effects over CGI and a little more variety in some of the deaths (at least compared to some other recent pics). Definitely worth a rental.

On the other hand, we have Mutant Girls Squad. I've been waiting a long time for a decent release and the blu-ray/dvd combo is a great release with a ton of extra features. A few issues though - it's a big ensemble piece (with the same generic plot-kickstarter as PGL) , but with only one real exception (seen below), most of the character designs are pretty lackluster - especially for a sushi typhoon flick by the guys who brought us Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police and Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl. Similarly, a lot of the deaths are pretty toned down or feature far too much CGI and not nearly enough practical effects - very few come anywhere close to some of the previous flicks mentioned above. On the whole, it definitely seems to have a few disjointed issues - possibly partly related to having 3 different directors - each of whom has previously done their own extreme flicks, but here is only responsible for 1/3 of the movie. Basically, it's a bit of a disappointment that several years and movies after Tokyo Gore Police, we haven't seen anything (even from it's creators) come close to rivaling it in design or style.

clips - Yoshie the amazing tentacle-girl/cosplay nurse - the kawaii highlight of the flick - actually shown even more in her own short film included as an extra feature - partial clip here. Not sure why I still can't get the subs to rip right.

There are certainly some other decent process-y type clips in the film (see below for example), but certainly nothing nearly as inventive as the girl in TGP whose legs and crotch turn into an alligator mouth or anything similar.

Lastly, there is this trailer as well for "Mask The Kekkou Reborn" - looks pretty bad

"The Warped Forrest" is a new film from Japan I just learned about, it looks to have some size related bits as well as other bizarre stuff. Here is the link to the article http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2...t-press-notes/
