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>

*nods* I could understand how it could get tiresome. I dunno... I actually enjoyed Moon Child for what it was. It could have starred two Italian mob guys and I would have enjoyed it. *shrugs* It pulled all my heartstrings; I wouldn't be a fan of the movie if it sucked.

But I agree about the community. Honestly, there are Moon Child communities out there- go fangirl in them. GacktxHyde: More Than Just a Movie. *nods*

Perhaps, but you'd probably have never even thought about watching the movie had not Gackt and Hyde been in it, would you have? I'm glad that you've come to enjoy it for what it is as opposed to who it has, but that is unfortunately not the case with many fans and it rather irks me that people should be so fucking shallow.

'Xactly. GxH is about the artists, not the parts they played. Yes, they were very close in the movie, but that was acting. I've seen married men kiss other people's wives on film. It's fake. What we like is the actual interactions of the men, like how Hyde sent Gackt a text message on his phone to congratulate him on the day Crescent came out and such.

nods* Probably not. I'd have to know about the movie in order to watch it, and unless it had come out in theaters in the US, I would have never known about it.

Yeah.. and how they're just really sweet together. If what they like is Kei holding Sho in Moon Child, go make a KeixSho community. -_-
