Posters

I got two new posters for my room the other day from
this wicked little manga shop in town. The place is really small but
has so much stuff in it, seriously it has so many videos and a few
posters as well. Couldn’t find any Crying Freeman unfortunately, but I
got a Gundam Wing poster with one massive space flying robot dude on it
and one of this other animation which i’d never heard of but it looks
amazing…Gensomaden Saiyuki.

Today

Went to see The Curse of the Jade Scorpion at the cinema with Nolan the Canadian playboy ™. It’s the new film
written, directed and starring Woody Allen and was really, really
funny. It had so many classic lines in it that when we left the cinema
we could hardly remember a single one – it’s like they were coming so
fast you could only store them in short term memory…

- I wouldn’t try and kiss you if we were marooned on a desert island for 20 years!
- We would never last 20 years on a desert island because after 20 minutes I would make a bow and arrow and shoot you!

Maybe it’s a case of ‘you had to be there’ but if you’ve seen the film you’ll laugh your a$$ off…

Also today I had an Italian exam and it went terribly well…no, wait,
it went terribly. God bless the University of Warwick for not forcing
us to get any sort of great results in our exams here…

Battle Royale

Wow…I went to see Battle Royalewith Joss and it KICKS ASS!!! It really is unique in the way it takes
violence to almost manga proportions and yet manages to retain
brilliant comic humour, both slapstick (sp?) and subtle. Plus nearly
all the girls in it are fit, and all the guys are cool (and in
traditional Japanese film style they’re all really honourable until
their (inevitable) deaths.
If your squeamish, don’t watch it (or
watch the 4 minute long edited version with no violence in it).
Otherwise, it’s the best film I’ve seen this year (except maybe Crying
Freeman but that’s another story…)
