Uhh...I mean...

Y'know, I've noticed an interesting phenomena; actual schoolgirls (by which I mean the legit 16-18 year olds; I'm not THAT much of a goat...)aren't really that nice in uniform. But put a woman of 21 yrs plus (as a general rule) in one...well, it's rather nice.

Yes, I awoke with a lust this morning.

Now when I have time I'll go look up some information on Japanese schooling.

It was brilliance.
Plus the Japanese girls looked very very nice in those uniforms.

Absolutely excellent, one of my favourite films.

Fantastic film.
Shame it was cut up a bit by Channel 4.

One of my favorites.

Not to stop crime it's to stop the youngsters that are out of control and showing adults no respect, so classes are sent to the island as an example to all of them. Least that's what i took the basic plot outline to be

Very glad they kept the subtitles though, i was afraid they'd put some real bad english voiceovers on it. One of my favourite films of all time

Good film but not a great.

I'd like to - there's a certain appeal to it and I personally wouldn't care too much if it was constant action, if it was done well, but I've got school tomorrow and the video recorder's busted.

Harsh one. Might have to go with the book after all. Or rent it.

Why don't you watch it and see?

Fair enough.

It's just that everyone's raving about it when it appears to be quite a shallow affair.
