   BATORU ROWAIARU!!!!!
After a year or two of efforts, I have finally seen Battle Royale! The gist is that social hell in near-future Japan has forced it to instigate the "Battle Royale", where every year they send a class of junior highschoolers to an island to kill each other.

It sounds rather gruesome - and it is, no doubt - but the real magic of it is how the students react to being forced into such a thing. Some attack their friends so they can survive, others group together and plan a way to get off the island, and others just use the opportunity to vent all their hatred towards their classmates. It's a really interesting social-type movie that just happens to have one helluva body count. I'd recommend it, though the company that made it will never licence it in North America. Nuts.


. . . . so, um . . . . . I've had an insane craving for Pocky lately . . . don't know why . . . . .
