No Longer Human [book]

 No Longer Human [book]

BASIC SUMMARY OF THE BOOK IS KID WHO CAN'T UNDERSTAND OR LIKE HOW OTHER PEOPLE ACT SPENDING THEIR CHILDHOOD BEING A GOOFBALL CLASS CLOWN TO COVER IT UP THEN GROWS IN AN EXTREMELY SOCIALLY AWKWARD ADULT WHO IS KINDA A BAD PERSON AND HAS A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS WITH ALCOHOL THEN DRUGS THEN THE BOOK ENDS AFTER NOT REALLY GOING ANYWHERE. 

THE BOOK  HOWEVER BECAME VERY FAMOUS BECAUSE THE AUTHOR DIED WEEKS AFTER IT WAS PUBLISHED AND IT TURNED OUT THE BOOK WAS EXTREMELY BUT NOT PERFECTLY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL. INCLUDING A PART HE KINDA SORTA KILLED SOMEONE AND CONFESSIONS HE WAS MOLESTED AS A CHILD. MAKING THE WHOLE THINK INFINITELY MORE BLEAK. ALSO IT CAME OUT IN 1958 AND WAS TOP OF THE BEST SELLING BOOK LIST FOR AGES SO IT'S GOT LIKE, THAT SORT OF WEIRD CULTURAL DISTANCE BY NOW SO IT JUST GETS ADAPTED INTO WEIRD THINGS NOW LIKE JUNJI ITO MAKING A HORROR COMIC OUT OF IT? WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ME KNOWING THIS BOOK EXISTS. 

PS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW AGRO THE BOOK INTRODUCTION IS ABOUT WESTERN STUFF BEING IN A JAPANESE STORY. IT'S LIKE YOU OPEN THE BOOK AND THE INTRO WRITER IS JUST JUST SO ANGRY AT YOU FOR THINKING HE MENTIONS A LOT OF WESTERN STUFF AND IF THIS BOOK WAS FROM FRANCE YOU WOULDN'T THINK IT WAS WEIRD IF THEY MENTIONED AN AMERICAN MOVIE STAR AND IT JUST COMES OFF AS SUCH A WEIRD INTRO, IT FEELS SO SPECIFICALLY ANGRY AT YOU FOR THINKING IT,  BUT IT'S THE INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK. SO YOU HADN'T THOUGHT IT YET. IT'S SO TANGENTAL TO ANYTHING ABOUT THE STORY TOO. IT'S REALLY WEIRD!

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?
