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>

Heh heh. I'm with Kia: Moon Child is NOT my favorite movie, by far. It's not a masterpiece, it's not genius. But it got me awfully emotionally involved in the characters and despite the camp, the cheese, the guns held sideways... it's just likeable, to me.

"I think many just got themselves all "hyped" up for it, or something like that."

I was the opposite of hyped, actually, I abhorred the idea. =P

"Kia thought the acting was alright, just, the ending there where Sho was dying and coughed up the blood, I dunno, I thought that was a little too... corny for me.^^;"

Actually, I thought that was better than him dying with flawless hair, make-up, and clothes. It was an ugly, gross death, much less romantic than it could have been.

"Fans who love something just because it's by the artist... I think some people are just too goddamned extreme in their 'fan-ness'."

This is true. I tell myself I'm not so bad because there are several Gackt songs I dislike (I refuse to allow Nine Spiral anywhere near my hard drive, for a vehement example), Star Wars novels I loathe with a passion, etc.

I'm sorry for turning your LJ into a forum, Nutmeg. *profuse bowing*

:O You agree with Kia, kinda?? XD *tee hee*

If there is one thing Kia shall say, it is this: watching that movie REALLY makes me want a gun.^^; My brother actually said that, and I agree, it does make me want one. .___.

Okay movie, not the greatest thing I've ever seen, then again, not the worst thing I've ever seen. :) *fwee~*

Kis is so adorable. ;_;

Yes, Moon Child makes guns just look downright sexy and entertaining.
