Get your own Sally Jupiter cheesecake print

James Jean created a Vargas-style pinup of Sally Jupiter for the Watchmen movie — you can see it for a moment on the wall in Comedian’s apartment — and he’s now selling a 17 x 22 giclée (i.e. ink-jet) print of it on his own site. It’s going for $85, plus $8.75 shipping. Closer detail of it here, Jean’s sketches here.

Wonder if the Warner Brothers lawyers know about this.

‘Delinquent Girl Boss: Worthless to Confess’

‘Zubeko bancho: zange no neuchi mo na’ (1971), starring Reiko Oshida, a classic of sukeban/pinky violence.

‘The Great Chase’

“Flashing lights of thrills spurting from the glamorous prism!
Blinding death match for the first time between Etsuko Shihomi and Mach Fumiake.
Speed-Action-Chase Movie!”

(“Karei-Naru Tsuiseki,” which Hiro translates as “The Glamorous Chase.” Toei, 1975, dir. Norifumi Suzuki.)

‘Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,’ Japanese style

Hiro tells me that the title is translated as “Wild Party.”

Paging Brian De Palma

From Gangster V.I.P. (Nikkatsu, 1968). A yakuza attempts to escape the criminal life, but it keeps pulling him back in. One scene on a train platform has a curious similarity to Carlito’s Way — almost certainly coincidental, since these films have rarely been seen outside Japan, and even now are not widely available. But you never know.

Trailer: with English subtitles, and in the original biff-bang-pow Japanese.

Caption contest!

That’s right, caption contest. Because I want more interactivity on this thing.

So here’s a still from “Gangster V.I.P.,” a not-so-classic 1968 yakuza flick directed by Toshio Masuda. (Coupla scenes from it here.) Funniest/dumbest/nerdiest/smartest caption by Thursday morning wins a DVD (burn) of the movie! Anything goes.

Now make with the Sonny Chiba-meets-Roz Chast zingers already. Submit by comment below. Ganbatte ne!

Run, yakuza, run!

Wish I could make it to this tonight

At Two Boots’ Pioneer Theater, 7 p.m. only.

But there ain’t no way. Screened from video, anyhow.
