hey patrick I'm curious what's your take on the live action gantz movie?

Hey! I liked GANTZ way more than I thought I would. It has way more gore and weird sexual undertones than any mainstream Japanese movie in recent memory. The FX were great, too. Even without a horse in this race, I am totally looking forward to part 2.
