SUICIDE CLUB II!

NUEVA YORK! Noriko's Dinner Table, the unavailable-in-America prequel to the incredible / surreal 2001 Japanese horror film / suicide mystery / cultural critique Suicide Club... the prequel which allegedly ties up many of its open ends, such as Who is the cryptic cougher/caller in the underage pop band Dessert? From whence did the Ziggy Stardust-like psychotic gangleader come? In the internet age, what does it even mean to be connected to yourself?! - is totally playing at Two Boots' home cinema next week. Even though Two Boots theatre is roughly 1/4 smaller than my living room and smells like pizza grease, I will be there, reveling in the blood, delighting in the gore, and pondering the deep technological-age social commentary.

This totally makes up for the fact that the related manga is only available in Japanese.
