;D I'll have a look through the anime and Asian film sections later, see if there's any worth recommending (I would put Naruto forward, but you've got to watch the first 19 episodes to appreciate it properly, and I don't know if you guys have the patience for that! Given that the series is currently at ep 215, it'd certainly keep you occupied for a while! ) |

battle royale's on there. anyone who hasn't seen it should be deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves Or alternatively, they could take this opportunity to redeem themselves! That said, is it the dubbed version or has it got subtitles? (Or did you just not look?) If the films are on there, any of these are worth a watch: Spirited Away Hime Mononoke (Princess Mononoke) Hauru no Ugoku Shiro (Howl's Moving Castle) Laputa: Castles in the Sky Uzumaki Ringu (and Ringu 2 and Ringu 0) Ju-On Wild Zero (possibly the worst zombie film you'll ever see, but it's so bad it's good!) Akira Metropolis Easy start for yas ;D |

Akira Metropolis Easy start for yas ;D didn't see akira, ringu or ju-on - spirited away, monokoke & howls moving castle weren't in the films but they might be under anime. i was blissfully unaware there was a dubbed version. did you hear that theres an american remake being made? i went into an anger coma upon hearing the news. |

So Hollywood have run out of original ideas, and are thus cashing in on Japan's huge successes. Ringu, Ju-On, and now Battle Royale? The very idea makes me nauseous, especially seeing what they did to the two afore-mentioned titles. In the hands of someone like, say... Spielberg, there's a chance it'd be a worthwhile effort, but I doubt that's gonna be the case. Cue crap acting, cliché directing, excessive gore and no psychological impact whatsoever. Just like the other two rip-offs, really. |

not sure who's directing it, but it seems unlikely they'll get any big names attached.

On the one hand, I despair - that basically guarantees it'll be a pile of wank - but on the other, if there's no big names then maybe it won't generate enough interest to completely destroy that great name. We can only hope  |

worst case scenario: nanahara is played by ashton kutcher, noriko by hilary duff....
if a remake must be made, then cast it with 42 unknown actors and base it closer to the book

if a remake must be made, then cast it with 42 unknown actors and base it closer to the book That would be a nice thought; give a load of young actors a chance to break through and so forth. Can't see it happening though! Thinking big names, I reckon Jack Nicholson would play the teacher well (That said, he can do just about anything well!) |

The Olsen twins can play the two girls with a megaphone that get gunned down horribly by the resident psycho early on! ;D |
