furtechMy mind's going, Dave...
I spent far too much time yesterday trying to remember a film from a memory chunk that stuck in my brain. All I could remember clearly was a bridge spanning a large body of water that suddenly disappeared, leaving the cars on it (and a tyrannosaurus!) hovering mid-air for a beat before falling. The scene was so bizarre and non-sensical that I -should- have remembered it easily, but no.
It turns out that I am possibly the only person I know who could have identified that film. It was something I came across and sent (via LJ reply via another mutual friend-- see how complicated it got?) to someone who is a fan of the source material. Buh.
Here is the trailer in question (totally work-safe, if kooky):
Directed by Takashi Miike, the film boasts his distinct style ("Ichi the Killer", "Dead or Alive"). The film is a live-action version of a classic Japanese anime called, " Yatterman! " This series started out in the 70's and was about as surreal and funny as any anime gets (which is saying a lot).
Here's some eye candy for Elin if she ever bothers to read this...
