what the... robogeisha trailer
What the hell did I just watch? This is the bizarre, crazy-ass trailer for RoboGeisha: 'Geisha Is Beautiful! Geisha is Robot!.' It's the latest from writer/director Noboru Iguchi, the guy responsible for The Machine Girl, which I never saw, but had an equally crazy bizarre trailer.
The Machine Girl was the story fetishized story of a high school girl whose arm is replaced by a giant machine gun. RoboGeisha appears to be a story about really, really deadly robotic geishas. You really just have to watch it to understand. But even then, you still won't understand.
There are several moments in the trailer where I was like, "Wow, I've never seen that in a movie before." I mean, I've seen breast cannons (who hasn't?), but I've never seen someone stabbed in the eyes with fried shrimp. Nor have I seen armpit swords, or ass katanas for that matter.
