The Elephant Vanishes [book]

THIS IS A SHORT STORY COLLECTION SO HERE ARE 16 CAPITAL REVIEWS:

THE SECOND BAKERY ATTACK: THIS WAS A MOVIE I GUESS AND I CAN SEE WHY.

KANGAROO COMMUNIQUE: I WAS TOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND THIS STORY.

ON SEEING THE 100% PERFECT GIRL ONE BEAUTIFUL APRIL MORNING: FLUES DON'T WORK LIKE THAT.

SLEEP: THIS FELT LIKE THE END PART OF WINDUP BIRD A WHOLE LOT.

THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, THE 1881 INDIAN UPRISING, HITLER'S INVASTION OF POLAND AND THE REALM OF THE RAGING WIND: I ALREADY FORGOT WHAT THIS STORY WAS.

LEDERHOSEN: THIS SEEMED LIKE A JOKE WITH A PUNCHLINE I DIDN'T GET.

BARN BURNING: THIS STORY WAS REALLY GOOD AND THE SECOND BEST STORY BUT DON'T ASK ME TO EXPLAIN THE POINT OF IT.

THE LITTLE GREEN MONSTER: THIS JUST KINDA SEEMED LIKE A GOOSEBUMPS STORY.

FAMILY AFFAIR: THIS WAS ABOUT NOBORU WATAYA BEING A BAD BROTHER IN LAW AND ABOUT TALKING ABOUT CUM AND PERIODS AND BUTTS AND POOPS.

A WINDOW: UNTIL JUST NOW I THOUGHT THIS WAS CALLED "A WIDOW" AND IT WAS ABOUT A WIDOW.

TV PEOPLE: HOLY CRAP I READ THIS STORY IN LIKE 1995 AND READING IT AGAIN MADE ME REALLY FREAK OUT REMEMBERING THAT.

A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA: WAS THIS STORY RACIST? ARE YOU ALLOWED TO SAY "A CHINESE"?

THE DANCING DWARF: HOLY CRAP THIS STORY WAS WEIRD AS FRIG, THIS IS MY FAVORITE STORY. WHAT THE HELL?

THE LAST LAWN OF THE AFTERNOON: DID THIS STORY ACTUALLY HAPPEN? IT SEEMS TOO MUNDANE TO MAKE UP AS FICTION.

THE SILENCE: THIS SEEMED LIKE AN OKAY CONCEPT FOR A STORY THAT MADE MY EYES GLAZE OVER TRYING TO ACTUALLY READ.

THE ELEPHANT VANISHES: MORE NOBORU WATAYA AND A LOT OF SAYING THE PHRASE 'ELEPHANT HOUSE' WHICH IS A CUTE AS FRIG PHRASE.

PS. THE FIRST CHAPTER OF WINDUP BIRD WAS ALSO IN THIS BUT W/E

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?
