Someone tell me what's this i'm watching.....and i'm confused that this is an Oshii film?

[Major Focker]

yes it is. i recall someone brought it up in the forums some weeks ago but can't recall which thread.

[David Hingtgen]

If it were a video game, I'd so want to play it.

wait, looks neither boring nor desperately trying to be deep and introspective, how the hell is Oshii involved in this?

this looks f'ing sweet.

I was gonna say the same thing... if it was an Oshii film I'm sure that trailer is as good as it's gonna get. And that's a bad trailer.

Chicks with guns. Big guns. I can work with that.

uh, off-topic, does anybody have any info about this flick Oshii made about food and World War 2, which co-starred Kawamori as an Indian ?

[Tober]

It looks reminiscent of Avalon, which I happen to have liked alot

Thanks wolfx

Yeah, it's called Tachiguishi Retsuden aka Tachigui: The Amazing Lives of the Fast Food Grifters. It's an expansion of an idea in Oshii's Kerberos movie from the '80s called Red Spectacles, a sort of absurdist comedy. The "fast food grifters" are people who scam free fast food. The movie is kind of like South Park-esque animated puppet meets fake documentary. It's also kind of an absurd comedy and incredibly dense with in-jokes.
