Chiaki Kuriyama, Kill Bill's GoGo Yubari is to star in a new movie called Last Quarter, to be released in Japan in October. mind you that this is a love story, and Chiaki's character is VERY girly... to those who doesn't know the story yet Last Quarter is based on the manga by Ai Yazawa, wo happens to be one of my favorites... not sure if i want to see such a gem of a comic be spoiled by being turned into those Janpanese teen movies though... and since this is a story about spirits & reincarnation, i got reasons to believe that Chiaki will play two characters in the same movie. vip.6to23.com/weibu/moon/moon-9.htmthe girl on the right is Chiaki's character, whose name means "Moon" in Japanese, keep forgetting how it's spelled, though...

Hopefully it won't turn out to be ANY type of teenage flick... that it doesn't do the cutesy wootsy "I'm soooooo in love with this guy and he's in love with another girl and I'm such a loooseer" thing that most teenage romance flicks I've seen have done... of which I've seen 2... hence why I'm more of a horror fan... because either the guy in that relationship usually gets offed while doing the sluty girl... I'm going on about a bunch of sillyness... bah... pay no mind to what I have said above...
Hmm... I saw the pic you linked to. Hmm... I haven't heard of that manga before. The only mangas I get to read are the ones my friends own and as many as I can read before getting thrown out of the bookstores I visit. (I have no job and my dad isn't a bank) If I see it about I'll give it a look through...

No it's more like "Oh i'm so in love with this girl and now she's dead how can i live without her maybe i should kill myself then i'll see her in my next life" type of story. had some interesting twist, though. it started kinda cliched because i've seen many of this kind of thing, but it turned out totally original. makes it not fit for being made into a movie, though. i mean once you know what happens next, the suspension's all gone. just wish they come up if a new plot, an exciting one...

Doesn't sound that interesting to me, but I'll check it out if I ever get the chance.
