Feel heartbreak after seeing these pictures of F.D.F.
understand Tsutsumi suffer a lot during filming the movie and why his mouth was bleeding after being punched.
ah!! shin shin being punched and tortured by okada!! *grabs knife and stalk okada*
shin shin!! i miss him! i haven't watch KoiOchi frm epd 9! got some catching up to do~ meeting baluku and von later! can't wait!!
the meet up is interesting...thanks!
fyi, i have found software�� that can do the "����������"(�閧) for "Project TS". i will try to evaluate the software�� first and tell u the results then. perhaps, after which we can meet up to use that software for our "Project TS"
meanwhile, either you or baluku reveal our plan to the rest of the guys here. so that the gals can start cracking their heads for their BEST LINES! _________________
It seems that our tsutsumi is always hit by okada.....
*nod* esp the 1st baseball shot.. *ouch*
was reading some of the blog, & dorama sama, we r rite,
those words at tat bus chasing scene -> Dash 200mX50 hon means tat he ran close to 10km just for the filming of tat scene
no wonder he's sweating like crazy & busy massaging his calves at the end of it

Hmm...i realise that our thread is too quiet till i have to reveal our Project TS myself
ok...we decided to do a collage of tsutsumi; something like a photo mosaic and it will be a A3 sized one. everyone can PM your small, little, sweet message to us(baluku/iluvhyde/me) and we will consolidate it into the card and send it over to shin-chan as a gift. Everyone from HK or TH or SG or MY or anywhere are welcome. If you are in SG and wanted to meet us, u can just PM
this is an example of how the card will look like.
NOTE: this is not the actual card. its just a sample done by me so the resolution wasnt that good cos i cant upload a 12+mb image file and i dont have as much as 1000-2000 images of tsutsumi.
perhaps, we can try to get as much images as we have so as to create and sharper picture mosaic.

Tiger Tanaka - Interview with Japanese cult director Hiroyuki "Sabu" Tanaka
by Gabe Klinger
As soon as Kitano-generation filmmaker Sabu arrived at the Chicago International Film Festival for a retrospective of his films, he was already spreading the rumor that he began his career directing because he wasn't getting good roles as an actor. While this rings all too conveniently, it's apparently worked for this young expert of oddly austere goofball comedy. In the shameless self-promotion that is customary after his festival screenings, Sabu has said, "These ideas for my films just pop up in my brain all the time." And after a favorable notice from Variety earlier this year, they've garnered some attention from North Americans, notably Non-Stop (1996), which is being released by Shooting Gallery.
Cursed with the generic birth name of Hiroyuki Tanaka, this crazy auteur would eventually disassociate himself from the long-line of similarly crazy screen Tanakas (you will remember Lt. Tanaka from Magnum P.I.) by complimenting his end freeze-frame with the simple words "directed by Sabu". Four years and several festivals later, in the back corner of a Chicago hotel dining room, a Japanese translator insists on calling him Mr. Sabu while I patiently try to extort the most from his eloquent responses.
"I am a director that needs to excite myself." says Sabu. His first outing, originally titled DANGAN Runner but changed to Non-Stop, was already an exalting action flight à la Run Lola Run (Tom Tykwer, 1998). His next film, Postman Blues, lived up to its title in its depiction of a disillusioned mailman who gets wrapped up in one of the most flat-out fun Wrong Man scenarios in Japanese film. It also confirmed his style of deconstructing the Yakuza. In his films, these famous Poison Fist gangsters are usually tired fuck-ups who can't keep a straight scowl.
Postman Blues contains explicit references to classics like Kwaidan (Masaki Kobayashi,1964), Branded to Kill (Seijun Suzuki, 1967), and even Chungking Express (Wong Kar-wai, 1994). It's not his best film, but it's his widest, thematically. Either way, to assert which Sabu film is the best at this point is about as futile as guessing how tall an infant will grow. However, his fourth and latest, Monday, is the most refined stylistically. He has paired up with a new cinematographer that seems to think on equal creative plains. When I asked him about this change he said, "Our last guy was becoming a little arrogant. It's also good to rotate to keep things exciting."
Please don't get Mr. Sabu wrong - he's a very loyal director in most other cases. His collaboration with actor Shinichi Tsutsumi has extended to all four films. When I asked him to describe Tsutsumi in one word, he responded, "Genius!" The interpreter burst into laughter before she could give me this translation, though through Sabu's facial expressions I could have guessed as much.
He has also worked repeatedly with Takeshi Kitano regulars Susumu Terajima and Ren Osugi, who always play delicious character roles. Sabu, with a calm stare, added, "It's rare to find older guys like them with some style." How about a Sabu/Kitano collaboration, I asked jokingly. "No way!" he said firmly, "We don't need two directors to make one film."
Mr. Sabu says festival audiences are the best. Curious, I asked if Westerners laughed at different moments in his films than Japanese audiences. Without as much as a blink, he responded, "No. They all laugh at the same moments." Surely Mr. Sabu maintains the same unique public persona in Japan as in the U.S., "No. In Japan I don't come out as strong. Here I have to use funny gestures and things to put the audience at ease because my English is terrible. There I can use other skills." He said he doesn't have to use any "shameless self-promotion."
As I concluded our talk, he wouldn't let me leave without telling me about his new film. I would have preferred a bit of mystery but I know now that it's a samurai film with some kind of modern twist. Should I have even asked if it stars the genius Shinichi Tsutsumi?

getting more n more excited!!
perhaps, we can have a share account on photobucket and we will upload whatever we have found?
baluku: yes, i agree with you that our final products will definitely look better because more pics allows the final image to be a sharper, accurate and contrast picture. My sample was done with 108pics only so its slightly inferior.
perhaps, we can shortlist those pics for our final product and let others vote for the best of all as the final collage?
are we supposed to send the card over before 7 july or ... ?
Hmmm...i am getting so excited even though its near bed time.... wonder if i will dream of tsutsumi later.... _________________

how abt setting the deadline to be on 5 July, 12 noon Singapore time?

we will try our best, but there may be a chance that the card will not reach him by 7 July, but i guess that's secondary... wats impt is our heart-felt well wishes and support!
