My How time flies. Kinda of a funny saying time flies but it does.I look back at the last three months and wonder where they went. Obviously the universe has not change as at least I perceive it unless I am an unknowning victim of some Dalek plot to jump people through time. Yet it seems like the summer came and went faster than Britney Spears career. I try to think back about what I did this summer with the family and it was not as much as I hoped. Somewhere someone stole hours from me. Why does that happen? Time going faster than expected. Is it because we ask too much of ourselves and so we never have a feeling of accomplishment. Do we spend too much time Plowing through our lives to the next event or thing to do that we simply lose track of when or where we are in time.
I think of the hours that I have played video games and wonder ..."Did I just waste that time?" when in truth I didn't if I was doing something I enjoyed. I think it is that we are plowing through life faster than we like and not realizing it. Then if we do stop to take time to pay attention we realize that we just went through three months of our lives in a blink of an eye. Since our minds are always focused on "what will be" its harder to think of "what was" and that is what I think causes time to fly. Its the simple fact is its harder to recall what we did then what we are or will do. This can cause gaps in the memory and at least for me the feeling I missed something. Not sure where I was going with this sorry oh wait yes ...
I am going to try and blog more ...this is my official official declaration...this time I mean it. Blogging will I think help me recall the things I have done and also reduce that feeling of time flying.
I am making progress on a number of projects and this has me happy. For some reason I was hitting a wall that was stopping me from doing the things I enjoy. I have been chipping away at the wall and it is paying off. I plan to start doing my Wii work out plan this week and try to lose some poundage by christmas. The hardest part will be curbing my Dew Addiction. I have made progress on the story "Fae'th in Time" and , with the help of my friend Jim, I have some footage shot for my "Weird AL" video Idea I came up with only 2 years ago....man how time flies. Anyway on to a Movie review.
Lets talk Japanese Gore movies. The types of movies that inspired the Kill Bill "Crazy 8's" battle. The blood spurting like a water fountain down town. Gore so over the top it is more humorous than sick. Case in Point "The Machine Girl."
Its a lovely family romp about a robotic girl who strives to be more like her human counterparts and in the end both the robot girl and the girl who owns her learn how to be more human...NAH!! I am just kidding. Its actually about this girl Ami whos brother gets involved with a local Yakuza gang. After he is killed, Ami seeks revenge for his death and ends up with her Arm being sliced off and a Shower of blood that reselmbled water from a fire hose. Man I tell you the Japanese have some serious Blood pressure.
Ok the story is good, direction of the movie is well done and over all the fights kick ass. There is pleanty of gory, bloody fights that at times are more comical than shocking. In the behind the scenes you learn its the girl playing Ami is doing her first real action film and first time acting. She does excellent as the machine gun armed Ami. She really pulls off the Pissed off School girl look well. Some weapons too note, The 8 Barrel Machine gun arm Rocks, the drill bra is definitely something different, a Flying Gullotine is something you just have to see, and the Chainsaw arm which has to be an ode to Ash. Groovy. If you do not mind over the top gore and some blood drinking this film is definitely for you. You also have to watch it in the native language with English subtitles to really appreciate the performances in the picture. Gore Whores definitely put this one on your list of must haves. The same crew who did this one will also be releaseing a movie soon called Tokyo Gore Police which looks to be along the same lines as The Machine Girl, A kick ass, fun, bloody good time.
