Is That a Sword In My Pocket

.

Takashi Miike has a new movie out on demand right this very minute - it's called Blade of the Immortal and it's his 100th movie (he's such a maniac) and it's a fantasy samurai epic and I'm sure you can picture what that means in the hands of Takashi. Anyway on a lark I entered a contest yesterday and somehow I won a real fucking sword, as you see above. It's signed by Miike, which is cool! I've loved Miike for nigh 20 years, ever since Audition broke my brain in '99.

That said I mean I've never really thought of myself as a "murdering weapon" sort of person, but here we are. Let's hope it turns out better than My Son My Son What Have Ye Done. (In all seriousness I have every intention of mounting this sword on my wall and creeping people out more than usual, so yay me.) Anyway I haven't gotten the chance to watch Blade of the Immortal myself yet but I totally will this weekend, presumably while caressing my real fucking sword. Here's the trailer:
