Fabulous Bodies [book, audiobook]

 Fabulous Bodies [book, audiobook]

   I REALLY NON IRONICALLY LIKE CHUCK TINGLE AS A HORROR WRITER. I'VE READ ALL BUT ONE OF HIS BOOKS NOW, I DID REALLY LIKE THIS ONE BUT I FEEL LIKE I COULD NOT LOVE IT FOR A REALLY DUMB REASON:  I DON'T KNOW WHO EDDIE MICHAELS IS SUPPOSED TO BE. LIKE THE WHOLE BOOK IS ABOUT A DEAD 70S/80S QUEER ICON ROCK STAR, AND LIKE, THERE WAS LIKE 20 DIFFERENT 70S/80S QUEER ROCK STARS BUT LIKE, IMAGINING HIM AS FAKE DAVID BOWIE IS REAL DIFFERENT THAN FAKE GEORGE MICHAELS OR FAKE PRINCE OR FAKE FREDDY MERCURY AND I GET HE WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE, GENERIC OFF BRAND, BUT IT REALLY BOTHERED ME THAT I COULD NEVER REALLY PIN DOWN WHO I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IMAGINING. AT SOME POINT I FEEL LIKE I JUST STARTED PICTUREING CARTOON BEETLEJUICE INSTEAD? AS FLAMBOYANT SHOWY ZOMBIE GUY? I DON'T KNOW! IT'S STUPID BUT IT DRAGGED DOWN MY WHOLE ENJOYMENT! 

PS. I ALSO KINDA FEEL LIKE IT SET UP A BUNCH OF MORE EMOTIONAL HOOKS BUT DIDN'T PAY THEM OFF. IT DEFINITLY HAD A THEME ABOUT SOMEONE TELLING YOU HOW TO ACT VS TELLING YOU HOW TO FEEL AND LOOSELY LINKING THAT TO PARENTHOOD. AND I KINDA WONDER, WAS IT UNDERDEVELOPED OR WAS WRITING IT LIKE THAT THE POINT? I FEEL LIKE CHUCK TINGLE DOES A LOT OF 'IT'S SCARIER IF YOU DON'T SHOW JAWS" STUFF WITH THE EMOTIONAL PARTS, WHERE LIKE, THE NOTHING STUFF IN LUCKY DAY RESONATED WITH ME SO HARD BUT THEY REALLY BARELY SAID ANY OF IT. SO MAYBE THE POINT IS THE HOOKS WERE THERE SO SOMEONE DEALING MORE WITH THAT WOULD INSERT THEIR OWN MEANING, AND IT JUST WASN'T ME THIS TIME. (SPEAKING OF LUCKY DAY, UMM, EXCUSE ME, I SEE THE SECRET SHARED UNIVERSE YOU ARE SETTING UP HERE, FROM STRAIGHT->CAMP DOMASCUS->LUCKY DAY->THIS WITH THE NOTHING/VOID, BUT UMM ACTUALLY, IT WAS ESTABLISHED PREVIOUSLY THE VOID THINGS ARE NOT ACTUALLY CENTIPEIDS, I HOPE SOMEONE WAS FIRED FOR THIS BLUNDER)

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?

M3gan 2.0 [movie]

 M3gan 2.0 [movie] I AM VERY MEH ON THIS. MALIGNANT WAS SO GOOD BECAUSE IT KEPT GETTING STUPIDER AND STUPIDER BUT WOULD NOT BREAK KAYFABE. ORIGINAL M3GAN  WAS LIKE 50/50 ON IT AND DIDN'T FULLY WORK BUT WAS FINE, THIS FEELS LIKE IT'S MARVEL LEVELS OF CAMERA WINKING. LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE WATCHED THE WOMEN'S WORK SONG PART AND HAVE TO USE OUR OWN HUMAN BRAINS TO KNOW THAT IS A SILLY AND STUPID SCENE AND NOT HAVE THE MOVIE KEEP TELLING US IT'S BAD AND DUMB.   PS. THIS MOVIE FELT SET UP LIKE A PILOT FOR A TV SHOW MORE THAN ANYTHING. I WONDER IF THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

Live a Life [game]

 Live a Life [game] I HAVE SUCH A LONG AND COMPLICATED HISTORY AND OPINION OF THIS GAME. IT CAME OUT IN 1994 AND WAS SOMETHING I COULD EMULATE SO IT WAS THIS WEIRD UNRELEASED SQUARE GAME FROM THE AGE SQUARE GAMES WERE SOMETHING AMAZING. BUT I ALSO PLAYED IT BEFORE FAN TRANSLATIONS SO I COULD REALLY ONLY DO CAVEMAN AND WRESTLING AND NOT REALLY THE OTHERS. IT'S A WEIRD GAME JAM IN A VERY LITERAL SENSE. THEY GAVE MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS A JRPG GAME ENGINE AND MADE A BUNCH OF REALLY WEIRD ALT GAMES IN GENRES THAT WOULDN'T HAVE COME OUT IN 1994. IT'S REALLY NEAT! IT'S REALLY INTERESTING! IT'S ALSO..... NOT FUN? IT WAS NEVER FUN. I HAVE ALWAYS SORT OF BEEN VERY INTRIGUED BY THIS GAME BUT NOT REALLY ENJOYED IT AT ALL.  THE REMAKE IS ALSO VERY INTERESTING BUT ALSO NOT FUN! PS. I AM SURE NONLINEAR STORYTELLING WAS ONE OF THE BIG DARING ELEMENTS AT THE ORIGINAL RELEASE BUT IT *REALLY* SHOULD HAVE GONE MIDDLE AGES, 7 CHAPTERS, END CHAPTERS, NOT 7 CHAPTERS, MIDDLE AGES, END CHAPTER...
