This movie looks fucking AWESOME... I was downloading it
off Soulseek when it crashed, then I deleted it... I refuse
to watch an incomplete movie.

Fuckin' shame, the transfer was at like 120kb/s!

Has anyone watched it? Looked at imbd.com, and DAMN it looks
extreme. 42 students on an island, given guns, and forced to
kill each other until 1 stands... everyone else must die...


*salivates

was probably a recluse

I DOES sound like something I'd do, I'm crazy like that...
of course it's a JAPANESE movie, everyone would be too wimpy
to make something like that over here. I'd like a bit of the
ol' ultraviolence right about now.

But DAMN Soulseek, I had half of it.

Wow The movie sounds way cool !!!!!!!!, although for soome

no one knows "They Live!" ?

about the aliens who control earth, and by wearing special
sunglasses you can see the aliens, and all of thier
brainwashing methods!

its quality movie making dammit!

Like Bart Vs The Space Mutants for the NES? That game was
pretty cool, spraypainting all the purple stuff back to
their original color (perhaps a subtle jab at homosexuals?)
and using X-ray specs to pick out the aliens. Good stuff.

pair... and wore em cause he thought they were normal... but
then he saw the aliens!

I'll check it out, sounds neat-o. But first on my list is
Battle Royale. I want bloodshed. I want Japanese children
butchering each other. I'm sick.

Have seen Series Seven:the Contenders. They nail that whole
"Reality TV" thing right down to the cheesy bio-clips!
Awesome deep dark satire! RENT IT RENT IT RENT IT!
I doubt you can find it on-line...?

Battle Royale is great.

go see it

It's really brutal, but it has a lot of dark humour wich
makes it a bit more bearable...

I went to see Battle Royale at the cinema,It is a really
good movie[most horrible bit-schoolboy gets stabbed a few
times in the nuts]and is a lot better than series
7:contenders[but this is an alright movie as well].Actually
there`s so many nasty bits-psycho-teacher Beat Takeshi
throwing a knife into schoolgirls head,and then pulling it
out,or when he blows up a schoolboys head-just to prove a
point.It is actually very funny.......didnt they ban it in
america?

Has anyone seen Audition[another sick japanese movie -
brilliant though]as I thought this was
sicker....psycho-woman brutally hacks off mans foot with a
wire!!!

I saw it weeks ago.
it's fun !
and it's quite interesting because it's like a synthese of
the ingredients used in recent nippon films :
very violent action but very simple sentimental topics, and
'clin d'oeils' to manga or videogames.

(err what's the english word for clin d'oeil ? it means a
joke or an apparition wich refers to another precedent film
or bd or whatever)

Yeah, the British release of Battle Royale on DVD by Tartan
Asia Extreme. And it's Region 0 which is really cool! DVD
Review magazine gave it a good review and I'm looking
forward to seeing it. I've got Series 7 on DVD but I'm yet
to watch it (Well, I kinda started watching it to see what
it was like and ending up watching 40 minutes of it).

Audition looks like a great movie, I can't wait to see it...
I viewed a scene of it from the banned section of
filmfour.com

I saw 'shaolin football' too.
it's stupid but it's fun.
becauses it's a parody of old japanese football cartoons.

I wouldnt watch Audition expecting a Battle Royale type of
movie,as it is slow moving and there is no violence until
the final scenes[obviousy its a lot more shocking if you
dont know whats going to happen]but it is a good movie[if
you like japanese movies I would recommend Beat takeshi`s
films]

I'm watching it right now, it's kind of disappointing,
thought it would be better. It has a cheap feel, and the
concepts are rather silly. It's more funny than anything
else.

Battle Royale rules, loved it, far better than anything
hollywood is making right now. Most of the best recent films
i've seen are either independant or foreign.

They don't all have guns. In fact, most *don't* have them.
There's other weapons such as crossbows, stun-guns, knives
etc.

Obscure fact: the book it's based on is set in a world where
Germany and Japan won WW2.

also, look out for the re-release of the film "the year of
the sex olympics" at the end of this month

despite the title its not porn but a 'reality TV' film from
1968, where a family (dad, mum, girl) are sent on an island
with a serial killer for TV entertainment
