funky instant link dump
how to make funky instant link dump:
ingredients: generous portions of youtube, imdb and wikipedia
- mix in a small blog and link to taste.
- add steaming hot boredom, just off the boil.
serves: the two or three people who happen to trip over your speck of space on blogspot.com
While looking on youtube for clips from this movie for the previous post I came across some other work by Japanese actor Toshiyuki Nishida:
monkey [english dub] monkey magic
and using The Earth's Biggest Movie Database as a guide I also find a trailer for this movie which seems to have every car chase crash ever imagined:
The Man Who Stole the Sun (Taiyou wo Nusunda Otoko)
plot summary from imdb:
The Ramen Girl (2007, pre-production) starring Brittany Murphy and Toshiyuki Nishida
plot outline from imdb:I don't think I've ever seen a movie starring Brittany Murphy oh wait, I saw this and this but I don't really remember her in either of them*, and b) I'm pretty late finding out about this, so... here (via The Official Ramen Homepage**).
* Was she the one who hung herself in Girl, ... oh right, talking about "an eat-in chicken"?
** which is confusing b/c this seems more official.
Update 6/17/2006 4:48 PM: And the moral of the story is - unless your name is Monkey and you sprang from an egg that got pooped out of Gaia and you posess monkey magic and your nature is irrepressible please don't be surprised when your aimlessness leads you to build an atomic bomb, or worse, study to become a ramen chef because we all know about idle hands and instant noodles.
Update 6/18/2006 2:08 AM: I dunno. Maybe it's just because i just got back from downing, like, ten of these [edit: links to hofbraeu schwarze weisse now. I think that's what I was having...] but this*** is blowing my mind... almost as sick as this.
whoa. chainsaws?

The Man Who Stole the Sun (Taiyou wo Nusunda Otoko)
plot summary from imdb:
A misfit high-school science teacher decides to build his own atomic bomb. He steals isotopes from a nuclear reactor and manages to create two warheads, but at the same time is present at a botched school-bus hijacking and is publicly coronated as a hero. Nevertheless, he uses the bombs to extort the police, first by demanding that baseball games be shown without commercial interruptions and then by having the Rolling Stones play in Japan despite their drug bust. Soon it's a race to see what wins first: the determined cop who's after him, the bomb he's carrying, or a burgeoning case of radiation poisoning...and then there's this:
The Ramen Girl (2007, pre-production) starring Brittany Murphy and Toshiyuki Nishida
plot outline from imdb:
The film is the story of an American woman (Murphy) who's stranded in Tokyo after breaking up with her boyfriend. Searching for direction in life, she trains to be a ramen noodle chef under a tyrannical Japanese master (Nishida)I'd make a joke but a)

The Real Ramen Girl.

Sounds Great but will it be as great as this?

Watch this funny clip of a guy dumping his Girlfriend. Watch as she cries and screams and sobs uncontrollably
Thanks for the links – I sort of watched it. The ho-s and b*tches crap is a bit tired though. I think people try way too hard to be ‘street’ sometimes. If I indulge in that sort of talk on this blog it’s just me making fun of the macho posturing that I see around me all the time… ‘b*tch’ being most recently used in pop culture to mean a prison inmate who is routinely sodomized by more aggressive inmates – as in ‘he’s my bitch’.
I suspect the 'breaking up' is a minor part of the story. Kinda like in 28 Days Later where the bike messenger (?) is hit by a car and goes into a coma and then wakes up to find all of London in disarray and infested by zombies. Except in The Ramen Girl, the 'break up' is the car/bike accident, the messed-up and desolate city of London is Brittany's overwhelmingly strange and foreign city of Tokyo, the zombies are represented by the strange culture of Japan and the mean military brutes who at first seem to be the saviors are represented by the tyrannical ramen chef . But that's just my take.
Or maybe I just liked 28 Days Later. I hear there’s a sequel coming out…
