Which still doesn't explain this one or <i>Onichanbara</i>.<br /><br />For me, there's still enough watchable crap (some fine pinku, the films Nikkatsu produces for aging cult film fans) landing here to keep me semi-satisfied, but much of the stuff just is depressing, I agree.houseinrlyeh aka Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548069611516508274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988760817943351657.post-84204660557428133752009-10-14T23:18:22.971+02:002009-10-14T23:18:22.971+02:00When did Japanese cult cinema become such a wastel...When did Japanese cult cinema become such a wasteland of tedious crap? After about the thousandth "bikini schoolgirl ninja battles monsters" movie turned out to be yet another study in mind-numbing boredom, even I had to give up on the place.
