Its been hard to read recently… my brain feels fuzzy. Mostly been reading manga.

I finished the first three volumes of Berserk by Kentaro Miura… they call it they best for a reason.

Of course some of the weird shit to be expected with anime/manga too ofc

I got the first 3 of the really big collections of this series for my birthday and Christmas… they r expensive as hell so I will probably wait til I can ask for them as gifts again to get he next volumes.

I also read a collection of the first three issues of Dragonball too which I got in the airport in Tokyo…. that series is very cute and funny but also jus a smidge too fucked up as far as it’s treatment of the young women in the story…. especially Bulma Jesus christ

As far as movies/TV I watched I’ll just do a very quick overview

Eyes Wide Shut dir Kubrick - 3/10 - Nicole Kidman hot af, movie looks GORGEOUS, underwhelmed by the story, HATE Mr. Cruise OBVIOUSLY

Possession dir Andrzej Zulawski - 8/10 - incredible acting, confusing as fuck, very blue looking, sampled in the next Wednesday album??????

The Audition - Takashi Miike - 10/10 - horrifying in all the right ways and for the right reasons. The office scenes are my favorite, they look so GOOD

Phantom Thread dir PT Anderson - 5/10 - Honestly not my fave of his…. but I love The Master and Magnolia a lot a lot. Clothes were gorgeous. Acting was great obviously… I mean it was what’s his name … he’s basically the goat of all time.

The Doom Generation dir. Gregg Araki - 3/10 - Honestly made me cringe quite a bit. Very edge lord stuff. I see why its iconic for sure though. Also points cause I realized that’s what Ben Kweller wrote “Wasted & Ready” about.

I watched that show BEEF a million years late - 5/10 - …. I thought it was fine, was entertaining for sure! The ending was extremely unsatisfying but all the acting was great

I guess I didn't watch much TV this month….
