I followed the link in the comm, and thank you for making me laugh - the festival sounded like a kick ass event, and it *is super impressive* that Miike showed up. Man, Shun's like every important director's darling as of late, isn't he?
I also laughed way inappropriately re: the Masami remark. I thought I was the only one who finds her cutesiness grating - I think it's the hamhanded way she goes about projecting, "OHO, LOOK AT ME, I'M SO CUTE! AND JAPAN LOVES ME!" and her voice that do the most damage though. Because, you know, aside from that, she's not that terrible of an actress.
But thank you for sharing this report - you're so lucky that you were able to attend. :)
