Recap: Kei Nakata's TSURUGI, Hideaki Sunaga's NAGURIMONO, Naoki Kubo's OH! MY ZOMBIE MERMAID, Keita Tokaji's JAPAN CRIMINAL WRESTLING, Minoru Kawasaki's KABUTO-O BEETLE, and Sakichi Satô's TOKYO ZOMBIE

Have I mentioned how excited I am for Tokyo Zombie?

Just wondering, I've been seeing a lot of these articles lately with all the links and stuff but I need some clarification: If I'm not mistake, Kabuto Beetle came out several years ago, even before Calamari Wrestler. Is it available on DVD anywhere? For that matter, would it be too much to ask for these articles to specify if these are random movies being discussed, movies about to come out in theaters or movies already available on DVD?

kabuto oh beatle is out in japan on dvd in jan 06. no subtitles.

Well, I made the mistake of seeing "Tokyo Zombie" without the benefit of subtitles... (I was in Tokyo for New Years and it was still playing at the Shibuya Cine Saison) It has a wee bit too much talking if you can't understand the dialog... so that makes it a bit tedious to watch... also it's a bit uneven; the first and second halves are interrelated but going in slightly different directions... the whole thing comes across as serious "WTF?!" but not in the same way as "Ichi the Killer" or "GOZU"... (I think those are good examples of well-done "WTF?!"...)
