Okay. Whilst sitting in one of Toronto's now smoke-free clubs last week enjoying the soothing sounds of Iron and Wine I got on to the topic of Japanese culture with a friend who had lived there for a couple years and offered the opinion that while I love it an awful lot of it is just really, really strange. Which is a healthy part of why I love it, really. But she seemed to take some mild offense to this. Whatever could I mean? How could I say that the Japanese are a strange people? In my defence I present to you this: The Calamari Wrestler. A Japanese film about a wrestling squid. I kid you not. Here's the website and here's the trailer. Thanks again to Hitman over at KFC.
