Lost in Translation [movie]

SOMETIMES IT'S SUPER OBVIOUS WHY I WATCH A MOVIE WHEN I DO.

PS. IT MOSTLY USED THE SETTING OF TOKYO TO REPRESENT ALIENATION SO IT WAS ACTUALLY MOSTLY TERRIBLE TO WATCH IT TO HYPE MYSELF UP FOR A TRIP.

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?

Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions [book, nonfiction]

 Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions [book, nonfiction] I DON'T KNOW, THIS WAS RELATIVELY INTERESTING. I WANTED A NEW BOOK AND WALKED BY A LITTLE LIBRARY AND GRABBED THE ONE THAT FELT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I'D NORMALLY READ. THIS IS A LETTER ABOUT RAISING A DAUGHTER IN A FEMINIST WAY AND IT ISN'T ANYTHING TOO WILD, BUT THE AUTHOR IS NIGERIAN AND WRITING TO SOMEONE NIGERIAN AND I REALLY LIKED THE POINTS WHERE  A CONCEPT WAS BROADLY RECOGNIZABLE BUT THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE WAS UNIQUE. LIKE "USING EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY TO JUSTIFY SOMETHING SEXIST" IS DEFINITELY A THING HERE, BUT I LIKE THE EXAMPLE WAS "THAT IS WHY MEN HAVE TO PICK DAUGHTER'S FIRST NAMES" WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A THING HERE. MOSTLY PRETTY STRAIGHTFOWARD OTHERWISE (MOSTLY STUFF LIKE "DON'T JUST BUY A GIRL DOLLS, GET HER A HELICOPTER TOY IF SHE WANTS") PS. I LIKE THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY JUST AN EMAIL THEY WROTE PUBLISHED INTO A BOOK. I GUESS THERE IS NOTHIN...

 There Is No Antimemetics Division [book, audiobook] THIS IS THE SCP BOOK AND I GOT RECOMMENDED IT ONE TRILLION TIMES AND EHHHHH, I GET WHY, I CAN IMAGINE A BOOK THAT IS 90% LIKE THIS THAT I LOVE BUT THIS JUST RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY. LIKE, THERE IS A STORY ABOUT LIKE, A CIVILIZATION THAT DEVELOPED AN IDEA SO RADIOACTIVE IT WAS GOING TO DESTROY THEIR WHOLE CULTURE AND THEY HAD TO BURY IT AND DESTROY THEMSELVES AND MADE THE LONGTERM NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE THING THE INTERNET LOVES ("THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR") AND THAT IS LIKE, LEGITIMATE COOL IDEA. BUT THEN THE IDEA WAS..... A BIG SPIDER THAT EATS YOU. AND THAT SUCKS. IT SUCKS IT KEPT INVENTING LEGITIMATELY INTERESTING SITUATION THEN SOLVED LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE WITH A NEW DRUG. THE DRUGS EVEN HAD SEQUENTIAL LETTERING SO WHEN THEY SOLVED ONE PROBLEM WITH 'DRUG W' YOU JUST KNEW THE NEXT PROBLEM WOULD BE DRUG Y, AND THE FINAL SECRET DEUS EX BEING THEM USING DRUG Z IS JUST STUPID. BACKROOMS HAS A THING WHERE THE PO...
