His & Hers [movie, nonfiction]

His & Hers [movie, nonfiction]

THIS IS LIKE REVERSE BECHDEL TEST, IT IS 70 INTERVIEWS WITH PROGRESSIVELY OLDER WOMEN FROM LIKE 3 TO 100 ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN THEIR LIFE. SO LIKE LITTLE KIDS TALKING ABOUT THEIR DAD THEN TEENS ABOUT THEIR BOYFRIENDS, THEN NEWLY MARRIED WIVES, THEN ABOUT BABY SONS, THEN ABOUT THEIR TEEN SONS, THEN ABOUT THEIR ADULT SON, THEN THEIR RETIRED HUSBANDS, THEN ABOUT THEIR DEAD HUSBAND. ALSO EVERYONE IS VERY VERY IRISH. THE TONE OF THIS MOVIE WAS REALLY WEIRD. YOU THINK IT WOULD BE BITTERSWEET OR EVEN DARK, THAT WOULD BE AN EASY MOVIE TO MAKE, BUT EVERYONE SEEMS GENERALLY HAPPY, BUT THE WHOLE THING IS FILMED IN AN INCREDIBLY BLEAK WAY WHERE NO ONE BUT THE WOMAN IS EVER SHOWN AND MOST SHOTS ARE HER WALKING AROUND AN EMPTY HOUSE SHOT FROM A LONG WAY AWAY SILENTLY. 

PS. (HONESTLY EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT AN IRISH WOMAN AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED I THINK THIS MOVIE MADE ME REALLY SAD. I THINK I'M STILL STRUGGLING WITH TURNING 40, LIKE, IT'S A MOVIE ABOUT LIFE STAGES AND I LIVE LIKE A TIMELESS WEIRDO TOTALLY OUTSIDE OF THAT SYSTEM, AND THAT IS SOMETHING I CHOSE TO DO, BUT IT'S NOT ALL GOOD. IF YOU MADE A MOVIE INTERVIEWING 70 ANDREWS FROM ACROSS THEIR WHOLE LIFE IT'D BE BASICALLY FLAT, WITH THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING AT EACH POINT.)

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?
