weird news because, although his work is not amongst the "cool" new wave of asian cinema Hollywood has been pillaging lately, he's been on my radar since last fall when i came upon Zero Focus (1961) through Zip. it looked creepy enough and the reviews were great so i rented it. i ended up not watching it but i've had a burned copy for a couple of months now. i've been meaning to watch the film but have been a retard about it, just because i can. his passing has convinced me to finally sit down for it, though.
i also want to rent his Kichiku (1978), aka The Demon.
