Not bad looking, even with the tattoos. The lady looks good too.

bet she slots her cog into the machine by the final scene though, after just the right amount of rebellion to appeal to all demographics.

“Snake and Pierced Earring” Brilliant stuff here still being made by the Japanese film industry

This bloke is so repugnant and annoying. I saw him once on TV in a family home playing with the daughters, both under ten, in his jockeys, like it was perfectly natural. He is definitely a symptom of a deep sickness.

Don't be silly, Notginger. You make him sound like some sinister child predator. He's just an unfunny comedian trying to extend his life in the limelight as long as he can. If he dressed normally he'd be back in the gutter by lunchtime.

"Yuriko Yoshitaka keeps a wary eye on Yoshio Kojima’s python."

If he keeps wearing those Speedos, she has no other option.

In that particular show, he came across as a sinister child predator. Normally he comes across as an idiot.

What the daughters were doing in his jockeys, I'll never know.

"Brilliant stuff here still being made by the Japanese film industry" sarcasm were on or off?

I did see the trailer. Pretty bad acting...

I sit around at home in my pants all the time, but if I were to come round your house in my shreddies and put your kids on my lap I think you would shudder, before calling the police, or just shooting me (seems there are a lot of NRA types posting here). And I'm a dad, not a sinister child predator like Kojima here.
