I had a prof who loved to call him "the Osama bin Laden of filmmaking". What the hell that means, I have no idea. But I did just watch Warm Water Under a Red Bridge and yeah, I'm curious to continue traipsing thru the filmography.

PS - It's good to be back.

hi GS -- what can we do to resurrect ILF?

Stop posting the film stuff on ILE.
I would love to see ILF stand on its own, but if you want a decent amount of responses seems like like you have to post the topic on ILE.

seven years pass...

def struck me as right to scrap the end color scene of 'black rain'

didnt know that miike worked with him, couldnt tell exactly if it was like a tongue in cheek, overworked admiration or whether miike was actually unhappy working as second ad on black rain......either way, he did say he learned a lot
