Good Old Fopp
Had a great day of shopping yesterday. Got my hands on the League of Ext Gentlemen Black Dossier, plus success with friends' birthday stuff (I won't bore you - although don't buy ipods from the Apple Store, they're cheaper at John Lewis). And then it all went wrong when I went to Fopp. Blimey, I love that shop. So cheap. But somehow it's always surprising that when you've bought 2 Cat Powers albums, 2 Linkin Parks, and Tell No One, Battle Royale, and DAncer in the Dark on DVD - all for under a tenner each - that it all adds up to almost 50 quid. Oops.

Hey, Mart, when you're watching "Battle Royale" see if you can spot Shibasaki Kou -- star of the "Galileo" do-rama series; she made her name in BR playing a girl who goes psycho. Also, as you may or may not know, Fujiwara Tatsuya from BR went on to play Yagami Light in the Death Note live-action films. It's all connected! :)
Oh, and I see that you've taken up Kelvin's suggestion :)
good tip-offs, especially the death note one. have you seen the death note movie? i've seen the trailer - Ryuk looks AMAZING!!!
yep, taken up kelvin's suggestion - that virus thing was too annoying.
I was in Japan when the first Death Note film was released, and I remember seeing posters for it everywhere -- seemed like it was a big deal -- but I'm just not that into horror flicks, so I didn't bother checking it out.
(In fact, the only Japanese film that I saw the entire that I was in Japan was "Linda, Linda, Linda" -- and that was on the plane returning to Japan after a trip back to Blighty :) It was all work, work, work, you see!)
I don't think Death Note is really a horror movie. the manga is very psychological (well, maybe the 'finger puppets' part goes a bit far).
did i tell you what i would do if i was in charge of japanese horrors? I'd remake american films. now that J-horror makers have completely run out of ideas, it'd be amazing if they did their version of some cool American movies...
