‘Wearing a mask is a human right’
Nov. 14th, 2024 01:07 pmSo Monday and Tuesday I continued the J-horror Rising run with disc 3, yipee! So now there’s only disc 4 left to go which I’m really looking forward to, (and I’ve got the the included booklet thing to read to).
Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman - 7/10
Premise time! After an earthquake children start to go missing and it seems to be related to the urban legend of the slit-mouthed woman. Two teachers decide to put a stop to it.
So I’m gonna preface this before I get into it, this film is about child abuse so that’ll be mentioned. (Also if you’re thinking of watching it, kids also die too)
( Read more... )
Persona -7.5/10
Premise: Students start turning up in schools wearing masks. At first it seems like it’s a form of empowerment, since most are bullied, but then the deaths start…
( Read more... )
What I find really sweet in the special features, which have featured new interviews with directors for some of them, is how they’re all so happy that they’re getting a release like this. Most haven’t had an international release and even those that have, have become obscure, so they’re so thrilled to get a release like this. It’s so sweet. And I’m glad for them most can see their stuff now.
Next week is the final disc, which is Noroi! Which is the one film on the set I’ve watched and know is so so good.

So my head is still a little hazy. Less so than earlier in the week but it comes and goes. It’s really super annoying and it’s making my focus so off which… ugh.
It wasn’t helped that I saw an old phone I thought lost and, yesterday, tried to get it working after charging it. It ‘works’ but it’s an android tied to Google to get apps sorted and it just wasn’t co-operating. I logged in with the right password, then it wanted me to do an ‘are you human’ test, then insisted sending a code to the backup email and even after I did all that it still wasn’t satisfied. Like, what more do you want from me??
I ended up giving up as the food shop was due. But it further makes me dislike phones.
Anyway, when I put the tv on the other day I saw a thing for a film on Amazon prime called Teh Lazarus Effect so I’m kinda curious cause it has Evan Peters (not that he’s seen more than a brief glimpse in the trailer) and Donald Glover (though he seems like he’ll die first). I think I’ll try and watch it soon though I dunno when.
Also from Amazon I picked up Thanksgiving cause it was still on offer so I’ll watch that close to the day, though not on the day cause the Sleep Token gig is then (ah! 2 weeks!!).
Yesterday was also tiring. Mum ordered something from TK Maxx to pick up and it was ready yesterday (actually Tuesday, but food shop) and I was meant to be going alone but mum inside on coming cause the litter didn’t come with the shop. As a result what was meant to be a quick trip ended up being a bit longer and we got more stuff which weighed heavy and so was tiring. It didn’t help that I woke up not particularly feeling up to going but not wanting to say it.
So off course when I got back I was all exhausted and flop.
Today is gonna be a rest day though. I wanna try and work on fic, then there’s Seapeekay’s squidcraft stream (he’s made it to day 3! Yipee!) and the Taskmaster final. (Alas this series hasn’t felt as good, but we’ll see who the next team is gonna be after it. Junior taskmaster was surprisingly good!) and then I wanna watch Stranger Things. Maybe I’ll watch more than just one ep but we’ll see.
