Battle Royale!

Has anyone read/watched Battle Royale? It's really cool. For those not in the know, this is the plot:

Forty-two ninth-graders are kidnapped and put on a deserted island, where as part of a government-sanctioned television show called the Program, they are forced to kill each other until one survivor remains.

I'm bidding for the movie on eBay, but I've read the novel and all of the manga that's out by now. What do you guys think about it?

You wonder why that kid from Home Alone disapperard for a few years during his teenage years? He won that show... 41 other poor, abused, child stars (but not Gary Coleman) died in the effort...

Well, I forgot to mention... it's a theatrical release movie, not a reality show.

Seems interesting. It's always funny to see how low people will go for money/fame/freedom/earthly delights/my respect/whatever. :)

Reality or not, it still seems quite sick if you ask me...

Ever read Lord of the Flies? It's sort of like that.

It's not that bad. It's really good. You should at least read the novel.

Sounds cool. You people don't like death do you? Personally I think it might be worth watching.

If it's not real, it's very cool. If it is...well, let's just say us teens should start cavorting body guards around with us.

I was thinking of borrowing A Brave New World... but I decided against it. But, Battle Royale and A Brave New World are both on the subject of dystopia.

That is an awsome movie, but it's really bloody. It was funny in the beginning, when they were watching the movie on it, and the lady held up the giant axe- "This one's super lucky!" ANd when the one dude killed like 20 people with the fan. That was cool.
