Well well well. We really have to hand it to the Japanese when it comes to creating out-of-this-world stuff. Totally. They own everyone else on the planet!

Just look at the following pictures.



Don't you wish you had one of those dangling scarf? I wish I do.

Another one -



This makes the festive decorations in Singapore looks like shit.

And another one --



OMG!

And yet another one ---



Holy cow. SQ sucks totally.

And who can deny they have the whackiest game show in the entire world?







Now now now, who says you can only hide stuff underneath manboobs?



Rainy days will never be wet again with this umbrella.



I actually think that this chopsticks are useful!

And finally.... in case you are wondering, the title on the bottle reads "Bukkake". But I am sure the illustration explains everything.



Ermmmmmmmm. Looking at this bottle of white liquid again makes me understand why people say you can fulfill all your sexual fantasies in, you got it, JAPAN!

OK. So the Japanese have hell lotsa creativity. But some things are just not to be. Like the movie I watched earlier. Its called Grotesque and 100% of you would have guess by now that its a gore movie! YEAH! But anyway, its literally a gore movie.

There isn't any plot at all and I sat through 70 minutes of pure torturing, on the film of course.

The show goes like this:

a couple on their first date was ridiculously kidnapped by a man who was later revealed to be a torturer. The torturer is a sick person. He demands the couple to turn him on sexually if they want to leave his torture room alive. After that, he proceeded to violate the girl and the boy. Next, he started torturing them and it was revealed that the torturer's definition of "turning him on" was actually for the couple to endure his brutal treatment.

*He gets sexually aroused by torturing others. That is wrong is so many ways.*

Then, when the torturer finished hammering nails into the boy's nuts and cutting off his penis, he stared intently at the severed appendage in his hand. When I expected him to stuff the thing into his mouth, he suddenly shouted "Hell yeah! You stimulated me! I feel it! OK I am so sorry. I won't let you die! I am going to save you and the girl now!"

Wow. That is so kind of you. Except that you just sawed off his fingers, dug out his left eyeball, hammered four nails into his ballsack and cut off his manhood. How noble of you.

But anyway, the torturer really ended up treating all the wounds he inflicted on the couple. And the scene changes from the dark torture chamber to a cozy hospital room. The couple woke up and was wondering what the heck happened. Then, the torturer entered the hospital room and explained to them that he has been stimulated and thanked them deeply for bestowing upon him the heavenly experience. Then the three of them proceeded to have a calm, peaceful and normal conversation, with the torturer/doctor promising to release them and then surrender himself to the police once the couple has fully recovered. To sweeten the deal, the doctor/torturer also agreed to hand over his 400 million yen worth of assets to the couple after he surrenders himself to the police.

WHAT THE HECK! SERIOUSLY! You are willing to accept the money of someone who just mutilated you beyond recognition? How can you even negotiate him peacefully. This just defies all logic! But whatever. Its just a show.

Moving on, the couple fell asleep and then they wake up, to their horror, to find themselves in the torture chamber once more. Apparently, the doctor/torturer was greedy and wanted to be stimulated once more. He argued that he didn't break his promise of releasing them after being stimulate, instead, it was the couple who didn't stimulate him enough. So he started torturing them all over again until they die. End of story.

..........

After the movie, I cringe at the realization that the only reason to watch the show is for the gore. Otherwise, there is simply no other purpose to watch the show. Then again, the gory scenes aren't exactly that gory, but that is by my standard so I don't know about you guys.



The film boldly advertises itself as the main course and Saw and Hostel as appetizers. The way I see it, Grotesque is just junk food. Too much and it will spoil your health. And brain as well. But I sure wouldn't want to live in a world where there is no junk food.
