I have never been that that interested in cartoons, anime, manga and the likes — the only two Japanese cartoons I read regularly were Doraemon and Slam Dunk. So when KY ajak-ed me to watch Death Note 2 (thanks lovely Reta for the tix), I said yes because it was free. Again let me remind everyone that I am a slut for freebies. Got freebie, remember Suanie.
Kelvin said it would best that I watch Death Note 1 before watching #2, and he kindly lent me his DVD. Unfortunately I did not have the time to watch it over the weekend, so 20 minutes before #2 Kerol filled me in with details of what who how why of #1.
A plot summary blatantly c&p-ed from IMDB.com:
Light Yagami finds the “Death Note,” a notebook with the power to kill, and decides to create a Utopia by killing the world’s criminals, and soon the world’s greatest detective, “L,” is hired to find the perpetrator. An all out battle between the greatest minds on earth begins, the winner controlling the world.
The tag line for Death Note is “The person whose name is written here shall die”. Not only the grammar is incorrect (cewah, as if I am the grammar queen), it is also one of the worst tag lines ever, because it makes you think of cheesy sucky awful Japanese horror movies. And Death Note is so NOT a horror movie, but a brilliant psychological twist-ful drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat (especially if you are like me, who didn’t really know the story beforehand).
The main actors were very good, and because I am biased, I am going to say that Ken’ichi Matsuyama was the best of the lot 😛
Ken’ichi Matsuyama is so hot and young that I feel like a paedo just looking at him
Well I won’t spoil the rest for ya. Death Note: The Last Name opens in cinemas today, you all should go watch it!! Take note that it’s a 2 hour 20 mins long movie, remember to pee before you enter the cinema hall and try not to drink too much Coke ya.

‘Again let me remind everyone that I am a slut for freebies.’
Why do I have a sudden urge to say, ‘Mister Humphries, are you Free?’ 🙂
[Yes, a quote from a TV Show almost as old as I am!] 🙂
We could also ask how many men are free here for you. *RUNS*
‘An all out battle between the greatest minds on earth begins, the winner controlling the world.’
Ptttth! Einstein and I have never done battle!
‘p/s: check out who else is in the movie!!!!!’
A yellow capsicum? Why is a yellow capsicum in the movie? Is it’s name written in the note book?

ei guyz you watch a movie2 of deathnote the last name plz post a link so i can download a great movie i wacth a fisrt and its great plz plz post a link were i can download that movie with egn subs ty:D
Ha, my gf explained this to me, the manga is really good apparently, and already translated into English. So I can see me watching the films too.
d_D – it’s a Death Notebook, used by the Shinigami (gods of death) to kill people off. I love the fact that in Japan even the spiritual and divine is hi-tech 🙂 Presumably, in Japan, you enter heaven with a login and password :p
d_D: cos it’s not really a death note per se, but a death notebook. death notebook doesn’t sound as shizzy as death note tho.
aya: watch in the cinema la 🙂
lord: hahahha login and password in heaven, i like that idea 😀
