I Want This
In my unwavering devotion to anything violent, I have been anticipating this movie a lot. Nino and Ken in it is an added bonus. There were confirmed reports that the movie will be shown internationally but not even a squeak that my country will be included. But I have a huge faith that the ever generous Internet will reward those who patiently wait. And I am a very patient person indeed.
That is not the point of this article though. I stumbled upon buyme_arashi's post of Jayson Grays' tweets. He is this expat in Japan who writes about movies and stuff. He was invited to attend the press screening for Gantz last December. From the time frame of his tweets, it seemed that he was posting while watching the movie. He later on posted his tweets in his blog. I always think that people who text or tweet inside the theater ought to be hanged by their balls (if male) or by their well-manicured toe nails (if female) but this time I am willing to pardon Grays-san for providing us mere mortals valuable information such as these:
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 3: Ninomiya is believable / naturalistic, with nerd->power tripper->using-power-for-good character arc 5:11 PM Dec 7th via web
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 8: Structure is repetitive but action scenes are all different, and quite cool. First one is a freakish bloodbath 5:26 PM Dec 7th via web <--- (my favorite tweet - sinisterteacher)
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 8.5: (though red is hued very dark). Another scene is robot assassin frenzy. 5:27 PM Dec 7th via web
Another thing to look forward is Nino's suit. The girls went berserk when the first photos of him in the suit but from Grays-san observed, I will be also be checking this out:
GANTZ (potential spoilers) 4: Ninomiya is so slight in the battle suit that it gives his furious action scenes a fun(ny) quality 5:13 PM Dec 7th via web
Now to those who were already salivating over this, you can check out the trailer from the site or this one right here:
This movie will be absolutely fantastic. I cannot wait.
