Another Boring Sunday

All I did was update my DVD catalog (something that I apparently hadn’t done since 2003 according to the program’s record) write a bit of Lost in Loveless, do up a last minute GameAxis article and watch some bizarre Japanese film by the same guy that did Audition, Ryu Murakami only this wasn’t some horror film, so much as a confusing, arty sort of film called Tokyo Decadence that seemed like it was about Japanese S & M hookers until it took a hard left into tangential land 3/4 of the way through and just became odd and pitifully tragic. At least until that brick wall of an ending. I get the feeling that the Murakami just had no idea how to end the film after he made his statement clear about his feelings on modern Japan…
