it's still ohkura's birthday, and i wrote
an ohyass fic for him! ♥ ilu tacccchoooonn a.k.a my sexy pig of silence. :B
!warning non-je rant here! okay, there's a mention of sousuke but stfu.
some people already knew that i was a horror buff, no i don't enjoy gore and splatter (but they occassionally cause me giggles and mad fits of laughter. not to mention they are good sources of entertainment), my favorite kind of horror is intellectual horror-- yes the one that fucks with your mind and rapes it for several days or weeks on the sheer thought someone or something might be under your bed/peering at your window. i'm a masochist that way.
which is possibly why my most unforgettable (if not, most disturbing) moment in last friends is michiru entering the apartment, several hours later after sousuke locks her out-- only to find three (sorry but i found them disgusting) cigarette burns on sousuke's wrist. sousuke them nonchalantly tells michiru he smoked three cigarettes while waiting for her. still one of my favorite scenes because it was subtle in it's entrance but jumps at you when you realize that sousuke is in fact, a very disturbed man. perhaps the only genius i find in last friends' writing. yes i'm an picky little viewer aren't i?
anyway o shit-- i just totally randomly looked for new horror movie trailers and accidentally stumbled upon an 'alternate' trailer for the The Shining (1980) which gave me the
chills. apparently it's not an alternate as the youtube folks say but whatever. still remains goddamn amazing right up to this day.
this folks. is how you build tension and paranoia out of people. and give what they expect. ahhhh, love it.
( some of my favorite The Shining moments. Thank you youtube now i can share the frights with my flist! )And now, for reccomendations! The Shining is a must for anyone who loves horror or movies in general, you don't get these things from hollywood anymore so usually the best way to get the best movies is to backtrack. XD
Strange Circus, if you thought the domestic violence in Last Friends was bad-- you ain't seen nothing yet. From the same genius that brought us Suicide Circle comes a tale of a young girl raped by her father and abused by her jealous mother-- a hardcore mindfuck with one very impressive ending that leaves the viewer satisfied. ;) That is-- if you can piece it together as you wade through kind of softcore porn in the first parts. Give it a chance, it will not disappoint you especially if you're in for the twisted narrative. XD high points for not being self-indulgent bullcrap too.
Noroi, think of it as Japan pulling a Blair Witch Project, this is chilling simply because of the gritty, realistic portrayal of basically-- this documentary. although the premise is nothing revolutionary, the ending still creeps the fuck out of me. and that's all i need, one memorable moment to piece all the incoherency together. my favorite is the crazy psychic guy who wears a funny hat. as usual in the land of japan, creepy kids= a++++++++++.
okay that was enough pretentious talk for today. *________* ♥
