Thanks! I'll go take a look!

[Probably be sorry later, but I'll try almost anything once...]

Geez, is it something like "The Lottery" at that school, or is that what they do for detention there? I guess being forced to stand in the hallway with buckets wasn't enough...

I'd have a small group of friends together, kill everyone else, then play some Russian Roullette (I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong... T_T).

That sounds like a pretty good idea. That way, it's up to chance who survives, not being a totally cold-hearted jerk.

Finally saw the first live-action movie.

It's kind of "Lord of the Flies" meets "The Lottery" meets Richard Bachman's "The Long Walk."

Not my cuppa but I've seen worse. Wasn't all that bad but it reminded me of several different movies, and altho I like Beat Takeshi, I thought his inclusion and the way his role was written was a little self-indulgent.

It was a disturbing movie, but I don't know what the big fuss was all about.

At least there wasn't (to quote Twisted Kaijuu Theatre) a "curse chock full of grey squirmy people" in it...

I love the battyle royal series. I loved the movie. I heard there was a few sequels.. but I have only watched the first one. I cannot count how many times I watched it, but nothing is more fun then watching a bunch of kids kill eachother
