so in light of an American movie that pretty much went "Isn't Japan SO COOOL with its big ass swords and robes and feudal fights?????" I get to see a Japanese movie in which the point was "Isn't America so COOOOOL with its guns and its detectives and suits?"
This is the point at which, if you have not seen the anime Baccano! (2007), I grab you by the lapels (or whatever you're wearing that's closest) and shake until you agree to, because it's a nonlinear, ultraviolent, jazz-swinging screwball collage of every Prohibition-era trope you can think of and some you can't. This is its credit music. It's brilliant. Also, it is mostly set on a train.
The only other week for movie watching that was that appropriate was when I managed to see Bride with White Hair, City of Lost Children and Hellraiser 4 (sigh) in the same week - every movie prominently featuring evil conjoined twins.

Yeah, that kind of wins.
