Cat Person [short story] + Cat Person [movie]

 Cat Person [short story] + Cat Person [movie]

THE 2017 SHORT STORY 'CAT PERSON' IS A VERY SMALL SCALE LITTLE 3 PAGE LONG STORY OF A YOUNG WOMAN GOING ON A DATE WITH A MAN, THE MAN BEING A PATHETIC LOSER, THE WOMAN REJECTING HIM AND HIM CALLING HER A WHORE. IT'S VERY GROUNDED STORY. THE MAN IS NOT WRITTEN AS A HORRIBLE PREDATOR OR SUPER EVIL, THE WOMAN DUMPS HIM BY HAVING HER ROOM MATE WRITE A TEXT THAT IS MUCH MEANER THAN NEEDED AND HIS REACTION TO RUNNING INTO HER IS THE REALISTIC SORT OF AGGRESSIVE MEN TURN TOWARDS WOMEN WITHOUT BEING RIDICULOUS OR OVER THE TOP. 

THEY MADE A MOVIE OUT OF IT. THE FIRST TWO THIRDS ARE JUST ABOUT THE SAME STORY, THEY MAKE HIM MUCH DORKIER SO HE COMES OFF AS KINDA AUTISTIC AND IT INTRODUCES A LOT OF THE CONCEPT OF HER HAVING LITTLE FAMILY GUY CUT AWAYS SHOWING HER BEING AFRAID OF HIM AS A WOMAN ALONE WITH A STRANGE MAN. THAT CHANGES IT UP SOME, BUT THAT IS AN EXTREMELY REASONABLE ADAPTATION. BUT THEN THE THIRD ACT JUST GOES ABSOLUTELY OFF THE RAILS AND SHE IS LIKE, BREAKING INTO HIS HOUSE AND THEY ARE HAVING A FIST FIGHT IN A BURNING BUILDING AND HE'S MASTERMINDED THE WHOLE THING BY PLANTING STRAY DOGS FOR HER TO FIND AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY MENTAL.  ALSO I GUESS THE CATS JUST DIE. IT FEELS WEIRD THE MOVIE EVEN BOTHERED TO ESTABLISH FIRMLY THERE EVEN WAS CATS. 

PS. I WATCHED AND READ THIS AFTER LISTENING TO A COMPLETE SCENE BY SCENE SUMMARY ON FLOPHOUSE, I DID THAT SO I CAN WATCH MEGAMIND 2 NEXT THEN MAKE THE JOKE THAT THIS MOVIE WAS MEGAMIND 2 AND THAT FEELS LIKE A PERCEPTIVE CLAIM THAT IS ALSO A JOKE NO ONE ON EARTH WILL GET AND IS NOT WORTH WATCHING 2 MOVIES WITH ADDITIONAL READING TO JUSTIFY MAKING.

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?
