Battle Royale 2: Requiem is a mess of a film. It's a fairly fun mess though.

I fucking love Battle Royale. It is one intense adrenaline pumped thrill ride courtesy of one Mr. Kinji Fukasaku, who is my personal favorite director to come from Japan. Fukasaku created 40+ years of highly entertaining films and Battle Royale is perhaps the most entertaining of all of them. It'...

Asuka is one fine German dish. Sure, I'd date her. Sure, I'm 19 and she's 14 and such, but love is love. I just hope the FBI isn't reading this. Let's end this post with lyrics from the Oingo Boingo song "Little Girls". I love little girls they make me feel so good I lo...

Wow.

Kubrick could not pull this off... at all. If living, he would turn out some incredibly boring overly artsie film. People could call EoE that too, you know. Kinji probably would have trouble w/ such a massive production as well. No, he wouldn't have. Message From Space and Virus were two of the...

I haven't had such a good laugh all week.

My old avvie was a picture of Bruno Ganz as Hitler from the movie Der Untergang (Downfall), which every single one of you should see.

My new avatar is a mouthwatering plate of orange chicken, one of my favorite Chinese food dishes.

Man what is it with Shinji spanking off that is so scarry? People blow the fuck up and limbs are lost in this movie! I guess with all the gory movies I watch I'm used to seeing people's limbs getting blown off but I'm definitely not used to seeing scenes where teenage boys masturbate ov...

If I could just direct the damn thing, yeah, I could make it work. But seriously, there's only one director alive that I think could make this film work decently. That director is Peter Jackson. Alfonso Cuaron could do a good job too, he works well with movies involving teen angst. But I doubt h...

I'm hoping for a PG-13 for the first film to suck people in (the first half of the anime series is at PG-13 level anyways), then an R-rating for the sequel(s), if there are any made. Or they could just release all the movies in watered down PG-13 versions theatrically then releas...

I think a live action Eva film has SOME potential to be a hit. The Matrix was anime style and those films all did well at the box office. Kill Bill, which was a tribute to hundreds of grindhouse films that 99.9% of people have never heard of, did okay at the box office as well. The film will actuall...

Next to everything in EoE is disturbing, but still, I don't think anything beats the masturbation opening of EoE in terms of creepiness.

I for one wouldn't mind seeing Sonny Chiba in ANY live action anime adaptation. That dude is the single baddest ass mofo around. Sadly most of you anime otaku have only seen him in Kill Bill, you haven't seen him in films like The Street Fighter, Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Deadly Fi...

Is this the guy who directed the last anime segment in the Animatrix? ... Ehh, "Matriculated" I think.

Yep, that's Peter Chung all right.

Aoen Flux looks okay. It'll probably be a cool, all style, no substance action flick, quite like ELAM will probably turn out.

I know a little Japanese, about a couple hundred words and phrases or so. I also plan on learning Mandarin and Italian pretty soon. I can pretty much just say three or four things in Mandarin, sadly.

Takeshi Kitano is a great choice, but KEVIN SMITH! KEVIN FUCKING SMITH AS IN SILENT BOB KEVIN SMITH?! ARE YOU INSANE?!
And Elijah Wood would have made an okay Shinji before he shot Lord of the Rings, but now he's way too old.

Jake Gyllenhaal for Shinji, Jake Gyllenhaal for Shinji, Jake Gyllenhaal for Shinji, Jake Gyllenhaal for Shinji! Watch Donnie Darko and you notice that Jake Gyllenhaal is perfect for a disturbed and emotive Shinji. Jake Gyllenhaal is a terrible choice for Shinji. He's too damn old, for one thing.

It's been a recent trend to shoot movies with the actors entirely in front of green screens and then add in the backgrounds, sets and visual effects by computer in post production. Some of the films shot in this style include Sky Captian and the World of Tomorrow, Casshern, Sin City as well as a...

I have mixed feelings about Cosplay. Some of it I like, some of it is so bad I would rather smite my eyes with a gay porno. The sad fact is, the Cosplayers in Japan are so much more skilled at it then we are. Perhaps it's because they've been doing it for longer or perhaps it's because J...
