ワイの採点　100点満点
My score (out of 100) 

大日本人　35点

テンポが悪く間延び。
質の悪いコントを無理に引き伸ばしただけ。

Dai Nipponjin - 35/100

Bad pacing, flat, slow and stupid.

It feels like they just stretched a bad quality skit

Downtown denies discord rumors with Tunnels... "We haven't even been together on programs"

1: 2014/04/07(月) 20:24:16.07 ID:???0

On the program HEY!HEY!HEY! MUSIC CHAMP - HEY!HEY!HEY! 2014 Chou Gouka Artist ni gorigori karamimashita SP "Spring", SMAP asked Downtown about all those discord rumors surrounding them and two other comedy duos Tunnels and Bakusho Mondai following their appearance on the stage of Iitomo's grand finale. Downtown, Tunnels, and Bakusho Mondai have been rumored to have strained relationships with one another for the longest time.

Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada replied "No, no, (how can we have strained relationships when) we haven't even been together on programs", implying that they're not as conscious about this as the public.

When Matsumoto was asked about his impression of the Tunnels when they appeared with them on the finale of Iitomo, he just said, "They were literally huge! They were much taller than what I expected!".

We were invited(?) to see the movie R100 which Hitoshi Matsumoto-san directed.
It was a movie which only Matsumoto-san could express! I would never have imagined that anyone would come up with something like this! I watched it with feelings of surprise and nervousness of what's about to come next...

Hitoshi Matsumoto at R100's completion screening: "I have now established the Matsumoto brand"

1： 三毛猫φ ★ 2013/09/24(火) 21:25:55.89 ID:???0

The screening event for Downtown's Hitoshi Matsumoto's latest movie R100 was held in Tokyo on the 24th. 

Matsumoto comments:
"We've been screening it in various places, and it's been a hit everywhere."
"You can't go wrong with this. That's why I'm certain that this will be a hit here today as well."

"I'm not aiming for comedy in my movies, but I think I have been able to establish the 'Matsumoto brand', a world never before seen."
"I want people to watch my movie without any sort of strange bias."

When his movie was screened at the 38th Toronto International Film Festival:
"It's an honor as a director that everyone enjoyed my movie, but it really made me realize that I have to be serious in everything that I do."

Matsumoto also said that he was moved by the reactions of the foreigners. 
"The Japanese people should also sit more on the edge of their seats. The screen won't be jumping out at you, but I hope it becomes a bit "3D" where the audience are the ones jumping out of their seats."

Hitoshi Matsumoto's movie R100 rated 1-star by the Toronto Star

1： れいおφ ★ 2013/09/10(火) 17:06:09.54 ID:???0

Hitoshi Matsumoto's movie R100 was given a 1-star rating by the Toronto International Film Festival, lowest of all 59 entries. The second lowest got 2 stars.

From the Toronto Star:
"R100 (1 star): Japanese comic turned director Hitoshi Matsumoto explores the nature of desire through the world of kink, told through the eyes of a mild-mannered salesman who joins a club where he can be humiliated by a succession of dominatrixes. Shot through a sepia-tinged lens with flashes of pale pastels added later, it’s a film designed to satirize modern Japan and to shock. (One particular scene will raise hackles.) Occasionally edifying, mostly unsettling. B.D."

Remember when Hitoshi Matsumoto dissed Hayao Miyazaki? (Radio program "Housoushitsu")

千と千尋を見た松本人志

「なにがおもしろいのあれ、ぜんっぜんおもろない！！」

「何がいいたいのあれ？なにもないやん。」

「宮崎駿なんておもろない。あんなもんロリコンや」

「今まで叩いてきてごめんなー・・・弱いものいじめしてごめんな」

「一ミリたりとも何もかもいいと思わなかった」

「だるいし、ながいし、20分くらいでまとめろや。あんな無茶苦茶でええの？」

「あんなんでええんや・・・あんなんでええんならもうようせんわ・・・きついわ。」

「なにからなにまで無茶苦茶なんで、どれから言うたらいいかわからん」

Hitoshi Matsumoto on Spirited Away:

"What the hell's so good about that!? Absolutely nothing!"

"What was that movie trying to convey? Nothing at all."

"Hayao Miyazaki's boring. He's just a lolicon." (pedophile)

"I'm sorry for all the bashing... Sorry for bullying the weak."

"Not a single millimeter of it could be considered good."

"It was dragging, it was long, trim it to 20 minutes why don'tcha. Are you fine with something as messed up as that?"

"So he's fine with that... If he's fine with that then I won't bother with it anymore... It's tough."

"Anything and everything about it was a mess, I don't even know where to start."
