Really?? I hadn't heard that yet. But indeedly - American remakes are usually shit. My boyfriend just bought me the book for my birthday, so I can't wait to compare the film to it. I hadn't heard of the book before the film started getting buzz - I don't think it was that acclaimed, so we'll see ^_^
Oh, && to Portrait of Sanity. Alcest is genius right. They are underrrated, but then again I kind of like that we have them to keep to ourselves from the general masses haha.

Apparently theres talk of an American remake, make sure you see the ORIGINAL first. The remake could be trash so you need to experience the original to savor it if it happens to turn out that way.
But thanx for the welcome ^_^

I used to hang out in a horror forum and they would cream themselves talking about this movie. I'll definitely stick to the original. (Like the original Quarantine, called Rec. SO much better.)

Let me know what you think of the book, as amazing as the film was it left out A LOT (such is the nature of film unfortunately though). You really learn a lot more about Eli's backstory and whatnot in the book...

I suppose you can't watch Ghost in the Shell and not end up liking Yoko Kanno.

I actually picked up the Yoko Kanno thing from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack ^_^
But GITS's soundtrack was way more epic && creepy. Wolf's Rain has a great folksy soundtrack too.
Yoko is just an all around genius. && -personality wise- shes a weirdo too, which is usually a plus - as far as artistry goes haha

I first heard Kanno's stuff on the Bebop soundtrack too, but I didn't know it was her or even about her until GITS and then I looked her up and realised. Haven't seen Wolf's Rain yet...

You have to see Wolf's Rain.
It's much more somber then CB or GITS. I'd say it has much more of a Gothic sensibility to. I remember reading a review of it in Newtype USA before I got to watch the series && they described the storyline && visual style as " gothic in tone".
