Went to see Ping-Pong at Fantasia. SHOUNEN SPORTS~~ :D :D Seriously, I had a headache all day and this film cured it. Ran all the way home from the bus stop. You'll love it if you like shounen sports manga in general - I mean, movie, but it really obviously started off as manga - right feel, all the classic genre tropes from the Scary Bald Team to the sports-related superpowers to the dramatic injuries to the chibi childhood flashbacks to that damned elimination tournament chart (which I'm starting to realise is mass-produced by the Education Department or something and used for all varsity sports in Japan). And quite a lot of the soundtrack was Supercar, including some of the tracks I posted the other day. A WINNER IS ME XD

I'm going to read the manga~~ but I think the live-ac is prettier~~ and that's a phrase one almost never gets to type out, so in conclusion, you must all rent this film~~ :D

EDIT -- Also, I'm going to play corporate paintball out in the wilds tomorrow (sororial unit: "Like that scene out of Good Omens? >_>"). I've never played paintball before. Advice?

EDIT2 -- According to AICN, Miike is making a film about a Bakumatsu hitokiri whose BURNINATING RAGE allows him to time travel. Clearly this will be the greatest movie of all time.
