On the other hand... you have different fingers.

Well, the gakuhai fandom has gone into uproar upon the release of Moon Child in the US. (and Canada? Someone fill me in there.) Personally, I'm finding it hard to get terribly excited on the whole prospect.

I have yet to see the infamous movie which has spawned so many of the fans within the fandom (Personally, I liked the couple before I even knew there was a Moon Child movie.) but I have serious doubts about it. From the reviews I've been hearing, it's not that good of a movie. The only people who seemed to really enjoy it were overly-hormonal 14-16 year olds. (Not that there's anything wrong with 14-16 year olds, but I hardly think they're a good judge for how good a movie is when their favourite (really hot) singer(s) are in it, right?)

I have no doubt that I will see the movie eventually. I mean, I'd like to, just to see what all the hullabaloo is about if nothing else. Hell, I'll probably even like it, seeing as I have a thing for campy B movies. However, if I see one more person join gacktxhyde and start their intro post with "I love Gackt and I'm only just getting into Hyde now because he was so hot in Moon Child Oh.Em.Gee.One.One." I do think heads are going to start rolling.

THERE'S MORE TO THE FANDOM THAN JUST ONE FUCKING MOVIE. GET OVER IT.

Thank you. nutmeg's going to go over there *points* and fume quietly, now.



<EDIT> Amazon.ca has it. That means it's in Canada. (For those who don't know, Amazon.ca is one of the worst places for getting anything. Usually, one just goes to Amazon.com, as they have a better selection. Why? I'll never know, but it's all good.) But... it's $30. Holy fuck.
However, it seems Blockbuster.ca and Chapters.ca do not have it. Hmmn. </EDIT>

mmm... I thought it was a good movie and not just for Gackt and Hyde, though it is what got me into the whole Jrock scene, it's not the only reason I liked the movie. I thought the basic plot was interesting, maybe a bit confusing at times, but it still kept my attention.

I guess that's my attempt at saying that I'm not an overly hormonal 18 year old... maybe... ok it's a lie becuase I am, but I still liked the movie for more than just the stars.

It's reassuring to me that some do like the movie for it's own sake, but there are still a lot of people who like it just because of the "hotness" and it makes me cringe every time I have to read it on my flist.

I can understand that completely. I guess it's fine at first, but it just get's annoying after a while, if that seems to be the main reason for people liking the movie.
