I recall a cartoon wtih two characters standing under a theater marquee displaying “JFK” and “HOOK” – “One of them is an imaginary fantasy story about all sorts of impossible events; the other one is about Peter Pan.”
I hope not because that would make last night really akward…
You have a vested interest in this answer or something? Or did the OP appoint you ThreadGod?
Because I didn’t actually see those events occur? I don’t know… I mean I was suprised they put it in the movie but it in no way made me go :eek: .
Oh shit, you are kiding me? If they make it with OC/Laguna Beach type of stars I will be tempted to hurt myself and/or them. That movie is one of my favourite cult films and one of my top ten books. Where did you hear that they tried to get it banned? I’ve heard that rumour applying to America but never to Japan. It is the number eight movie of all time there, I can’t see there have been that much of a fuss about trying to ban it.
They seemed to only go with films that are known by the American masses. I would have put Salo or Man Bites Dog on the list.
Have you read them all? If you say just “Number 3” to my friends they will burst out laughing. That manga series is perhaps the worst I have ever read. The random (mostly sexual) parts included that weren’t even in the book were amazing. Next time you want to get the attention of a sports star, just piss on the floor! 
It doesn’t actually say they tried to get it banned. I was posting it from memory and my memory didn’t serve.
Oh, and I think making it with a bunch of OC/Laguna Beach type stars would be perfect casting.
A bunch of pretty, rich, spoiled California brats thrown into that kind of situation. . .perfect.
The Battle Royale movie is slightly more campy then the book and so the shock isn’t there as much. I agree, Suicide Club stays with you longer.
Well if we are going to use this movie just to enjoy seeing stars we hate getting killed off, let me throw Ashlee Simpson into the mix.
Well, I haven’t seen the movie but it sounds like a has some things to say about society and violence beyond just seeing pretty faces getting killed.
What better choice to explore that than the land of exploitative violence in movies and TV and phoney niceness about guns and animals and people in real life (stereotyping here) .
Stick the kids into a place where their figurative bleeding hearts come face-to-face with some literal bleeding hearts and see how they react.
