Death Note: Light Up the New World

So my friend told me last week about the launching of the movie as well as asking for ppl to go there in cosplay. Initially wasn't planning to join... but I guess I ended up coming anyway. And I'm not regretting the decision.

So, last weekend I went on a bit of movie binge for the 2016 Japan Film Festival (JFF). The random amount of freebies I get was astounding! End up watching Chihayafuru (both parts) as well as Creepy and Bakuman. The rest of this post might be spoilery a bit.

Title: Family Matters
Series: Star Wars, Legends
Characters: Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo
Summary: The mission on the forest moon of Endor suddenly gets complicated.
A/N: Slightly influenced by Ryder Wyndham's novelization as well as the Rebel Force series by Alex Wheeler. And might also be influenced by Hong Jac Ga's Star Wars webtoon. And for some reason I just HAD to write this scene.

So today I ended up watching the Flu, since the JFF movie I wanted to watch was sold out and I can't afford taking the much later slot.

First thing first, if you've read the interview where Jang Hyuk talked about the movie and his role being very emotional? YES, it really was. It's very emotional and struck you to the core to the point by the end of the movie, my whole body shook with tense emotion.

So yeah, what follows after this is my thoughts and review of the movie. And I don't think people should mind any spoilers mentioned here. Since no amount of spoilers could ever spoiled your experience while watching this movie. There's a lot of message about humanity... that you just can't help but be saddened. Even if this movie was fictional and not based on real outbreak, it gave you an insight on how bad it could have happened.

So... I watched Pacific Rim. Most of it anyway since I sorta missed the intro a bit.

I see the refs with the tokusatsu fandom yeah. And by now, half my memory of the movie have faded so I shall just... mention my thoughts that I still remember.

Today I went movie-watching... with sisters and friends. Best things to do... watching stuffs with friends, regardless if you're doing at home or cinemas or somewhere. Nicer if you had on similar fandom that you can all understand some of the subtle jokes. And the best thing that we had done today... seeing that what we literally booked the whole hall for watching Avengers. How cool is that? Good thing about that, if we unthinkingly reacted loudly while watching, you don't have to be so conscious that someone might just shoosh you or something. I mean right.... not everyone can just stone for a few hours watching a movie without making a sound. Especially when said movies are so exciting to watch.

Unless of course you're watching a serious movie or documentaries. I mean... it was quite strange when no one made a sound at a intended funny scene, even inside cinema. I mean... if you're reacting to the movie content I don't see why anyone would be so offended about it. Unless you're secretly trying to record the movies and sell them as bootleg copies. THEN yo have reason to be annoyed. Or, if you were talking odd unrelated things during the screening and/or physically distracting other people to enjoy the movie.

So, that's why I love today's outing~

( Don't think there was any actual spoilers worth worrying about, just the barest hints tho. )

That aside, being spontaneous and grabbed Hollow Earth the moment I've set my eyes on it. */clenches fist. BARROWMAAAAAAAAAAAAN!* Yeah, partially buying the book because of John... wanna see how his (and his sister's) writing was like. Plus, the plot was similar to something I've always had in my mind for my NaNo muse all these years but never put down to words. Maybe someday I would actually go back to that muse.

Today went to watch one of the movies from the Japanese Film Festival 2011. Was lucky I actually double check the schedules since it seems, they don't show all of the movies at each GSC cinemas that took part in the screenings at the same time in each cinemas, but allocate certain days and certain set movies to each of the cinemas. So on certain days/time and certain movies, you may have to go to different venues to watch it.

Lucky too seeing that just as we (sister and I) went to buy tickets, we only left to choose seats from only 4 free seats. o_O Felt so dejavu. I think Mebius movie last time also was like that.

So what movie we watched?

“Second Chance” セカンドバージン

Later went to Kinokuniya. Went spazzing at old/new photobooks/mags/toku mags there for no reason. XD

 XDDDDDDDD I watched Ooku the gender-bent version. 8D

( lalalalalalala~ oiyoyoyoyo~ )

“And the secret that I have to tell you is that we are not nearly so dumb as we have always thought. Indeed, we each have a brain.”

Haha~ Nice line from a puffin, where... in the Gahoole series were portrayed to be less intelligent compared to the owls aside from their abilities to swim and fish skilfully in the icy regions of the Northern Kingdoms. Any other birds that was grouped to be less intelligent was seagulls. Then again, a lot of other fantasy/animal stories drew seagulls in that similar light~

Finally finished all fifteen books, and I have to say it's an amazing journey in a world written by Kathryn Lasky.

Honestly speaking, if you think the animated movie of the Guardians of Ga'hoole: Legends of the Guardians was amazing, you'll have an even bigger surprise once you started on the books. The movie, was llke an alternate universe to the adventures of Soren, Gylfie and his two friend, Twilight and Digger; later known as The Band, throughout the Hoolian world as they fought against the Tytonic Union of the Pure Ones. But nothing can compare with the books.
