I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself [book, audiobook]

 I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself [book, audiobook]

YEAH, THIS BOOK IS PRETTY GOOD. I LOVE IT HAS A SUPER HIGH CONCEPT PREMISE (IN A NEAR FUTURE DYSTOPIAN AMERICA PEOPLE ARE GIVEN EXTRA SHADOWS AS PUNISHMENT) THEN ALMOST ZERO PERCENT OF THE BOOK IS EVER DIRECTLY ABOUT THAT AND THE BOOK REFUSES TO EVER TALK ABOUT A SINGLE MECHANIC OF ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IN ANY SCI-FI WAY.  SO IT'S MOSTLY JUST A BOOK ABOUT ALIENATION AND GRIEF. I ALSO LIKE THAT THE BOOK DOES A GOOD JOB OF HAVING THE SHADOW STUFF STAND IN FOR A BUNCH OF THINGS BUT REFUSES VERY HARD TO MAKE IT A STRAIGHT ANALOGY FOR ANY ONE THING. BUT THEN EVEN WITHOUT IT REPRESENTING ANY ONE EXACT SPECIFIC THING GETS IT EXACTLY SPOT ON THE WAY GRADE SCHOOL TEACHERS WOULD BE AWFUL ABOUT IT. 

PS. I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT HOW HORNY THIS BOOK IS. A MAJOR THEME OF THIS BOOK IS SHAME AND THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A LESBIAN AND ANTI LGBT LAWS WAS CLEARLY ONE OF THE ALLEGORIES AND I THINK THE PREMISE OF SO MANY GRAPHIC SEX SCENES IS LIKE "DON'T HAVE SHAME MAKE YOU HIDE THINGS" BUT IT STILL FELT LIKE A WEIRD BOOK TO HAVE A BUNCH OF SEX SCENES IN. ALSO IT WAS A BOOK THAT SEEMED TO HAVE ZERO IDEA HOW OLD KIDS ARE. IT WAS CLEARLY WRITING A MIDDLE SCHOOLER WHEN THE KID WAS IN KINDERGARDEN AND A TEEN WHEN THE KID WAS IN 3RD GRADE. LIKE I WON'T SAY NO 9 YEAR OLD HAS EVER SKIPPED CLASS TO SMOKE WEED WITH THEIR FRIENDS, BUT THAT IS NOT LIKE, THE THING A 3RD GRADER IS CAUSALLY DOING ON A WEEKDAY.

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.

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?

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?
