Sputnik Sweetheart [book]

 Sputnik Sweetheart [book]

ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MURAKAMI BOOK IS THE EXACT SAME BOOK AND I UNIRONICALLY LOVE THAT. LIKE NO MATTER WHAT THE BOOK IS YOU CAN TELL EACH CHARACTER IS THE SAME CHARACTER AS ONE FROM ANOTHER STORY AND THE PLOT IS THE SAME AND NO MATTER HOW IT SETS UP LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT IT NEVER IS. THIS WENT LIKE 80% OF THE STORY BEING A NORMAL REAL WORLD STORY THEN RIGHT NEAR THE END IT WENT "OH, NOW IT'S WEIRD" AND GOT SUPERNATURAL IN THE EXACT SAME WAY IT ALWAYS DOES. BUT IT'S NOT A FLAW. EVERY BOOK IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AS MUCH AS IT'S THE SAME. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE THREW A HANDFUL OF PAPERS OUT A WINDOW THAT SAID 'CATS, DISAPPEARANCE, OLDER WOMAN AND YOUNGER WOMAN WITH FAKE NAMES ON AN ISLAND, DISINTERESTED MALE MAIN CHARACTER, DREAMS" AND THEN A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT AUTHORS PICKED UP THAT OUTLINE AND WROTE TOTALLY DIFFERENT BOOKS, WITH DIFFERENT THEMES AND TONES BUT ALL THE AUTHORS JUST HAPPEN TO ALL BE MURAKAMI. 

PS. I WAS GOING TO READ THIS AS A "BOOK YOU HAVEN'T READ BY AN AUTHOR YOU LIKE" BUT THAT IS SUCH A PRIME CATEGORY THAT I JUST WATCHED A MOVIE THAT MENTIONED THIS JUST SO I COULD CHEAT TO CHANGE CATEGORIES.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always [movie]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always [movie] I DON'T KNOW. THIS MOVIE RULES. IT'S ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT IS DEFINITELY A PARODY BUT THE KIND OF PARODY WHERE THEY LITERALLY EVER MAKE A JOKE OR TRY TO BE FUNNY AND IT'S JUST LIKE THE MOST SPOT ON FULL HEARTED LEGITIMATE VERSION OF HOW STUPID POWER RANGERS ALWAYS WAS. LIKE ALL THE POWER RANGERS ARE 40 AND YOU THINK THEY WOULD MAKE JOKES ABOUT THAT, BUT THEY REALLY DON'T. SO YOU THINK THEY WOULD EXAGGERATE HOW BAD THE WRITING IS, BUT THEY DON'T DO THAT EITHER, OR YOU THINK THEY WOULD GO THE OTHER WAY AND TRY TO MAKE POWER RANGERS ACTUALLY COOL AS IT THOUGHT IT WAS AND THEY DON'T DO THAT THEY JUST WRITE EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE WOULD HAVE SAID EXACTLY IN THE ORIGINAL AND JUST LET HOW STUPID IT IS STAND. IT RULES. LIKE HE JUST BREAK DANCE FIGHTS AND THE MOVIE NEITHER TRIES TO MAKE IT ANY LESS LAME THAN IT WAS NOR PLAYS UP HOW STUPID THAT IS. IT JUST DOES IT.  PS. JESUS CHRIST, YELLOW RANGER DIED IN REAL LIFE.

The Green Knight [movie]

 The Green Knight [movie] YEAH, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT I KNEW I WOULD LIKE SO MUCH I COULDN'T GET MYSELF TO WATCH IT BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE. BUT YEAH, IT'S GOOD. I LOVE HOW CLEAR IT IS THEY JUST OWN ONE BIG SPOT LIGHT AND DECIDED TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE EFFECT IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE TURNING ON AND ON THAT LIGHT AND USING GELS. IT'S LIKE LEGITIMATELY GREAT.  I WOULD SAY LIKE 75% OF SCENES INVOLVE CAMERA LOOKING AT SOMETHING, SPOTLIGHT BEHIND A WALL DEAD CENTER TO THE CAMERA THEN SPOTLIGHT COMING ON AT SOME POINT TO SHOW THE MOOD SHIFTING AND IT LOOKS *SO GOOD* PS. I DO NOT THINK "MY SISTER QUEEFED YOU OUT" IS A REAL PHRASE FROM THAT TIME PERIOD OR THIS TIME PERIOD OR ANYTHING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID EVER. WHY DID HE SAY THAT?

Hypertrophy Genital Girls [movie]

YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN THIS MOVIE EXISTED FOR YEARS AND NEVER GOT AROUND TO WATCHING IT, ON ONE HAND NOBORU IGUCHI IS JUST ABOUT THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED BUT ON THE OTHER HAND THIS ONE IS JUST A FLAT OUT POROGRAPHY THAT JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE HIS INSANITY MAKEUP INCLUDED. I THINK MAYBE I HAD HOPED IT WOULD BE MORE NOBORU AND LESS PORONO BECAUSE REALLY IT WAS JUST 4 RAPE SCENES IN A ROW THEN AN HOUR LONG SCENE WITH THE TWO GIRLS HAVING 'SEX' AND PRETTY MUCH NO STORY. ALSO THERE IS NO TRANSLATION SO MY KNOWLEDGE OF JAPANESE WAS ALL I COULD USE TO FOLLOW THE STORY, LUCKY I KNOW "ALIEN", "CUNT", "WEIRDO", 'WHAT?' AND "STOP!" AND THAT IS REALLY ALL THERE WAS. PS. THE ONLY TWO PARTS THAT HAD THE MAGIC OF HIS REAL MOVIES WAS THE ALIEN PUNCHING THE GIRLS SUDDENLY WITH NO BUILD UP AND ALSO THE FACT THE VERY LAST SCENE IS THE GIRLS KISSING IN A SHOWER OF BLOOD COMING OUT OF THE GIRL'S GIANT PAPER MACHE VAGINA. WHAT?
