No, it did not end well

“WTF!” is what I have in mind after watching All’s Well Ends Well 09.

Vincent Kok, I used to like you, thinks you are talented and funny.
This is unforgivable!!!

Shojo Tai (少女队) & Happy Girls Trio

Movie

Think 1971 version of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory except trippier, with nudity and cartoon gore. 2 years ago I watched a clip of the movie on Youtube and has not been able to get the movie out of my mind.

Hausu (豆瓣):
Oh man,”Hausu” is an extremely weird and grotesque horror parody.It [...]

Movie

*my favorite movie dialog from “Sideways,” which echoes loads of how I feel these days…

Miles Raymond: Well, the world doesn’t give a shit what I have to say. I’m not necessary. Had. I’m so insignificant I can’t even kill myself.

Miles Raymond: [...]
