twincityhackerJapanese cinema. What the hell?
Yes, I know. Diffrent cultures. But still - if you're following someone, you do not make it obvious that you're spying on them. And you hide the video camera instead of wearing the damm thing in plain sight on your head!
I am talking about "A Taxing Woman."
And the woman, the main charecter I might add, was either shown as a cow or a bimbo. And I do not mean "assertive," I mean that she acted all tough until someone acted vaugly threating and caved like a house of cards. Then again, everyone in the movie did that - but she was the worst offender.
Plus, she had to dress like a man to get anywhere in life. And the only woman who showed any sort of spine in the whole damm movie was the former mistress of the tax evader who was upset that he was seeing another woman, flew into a rage and tried to kill him, then was upset when he dumped her. (?!)
Then, two years later, she calls down the tax collecters - which is like the SWAT of all tax agencies. The Japanse teacher had to edit out a segemnt or two when they were strip searching people.
But the whole movie expereience was okay, since we MSTed it. And I hold my own on that, even when it comes to smacking down the fellow watches for the "See! Woman can park in Japan!" remark. I can park too, dammit! And since I was the only chick there at the moment, since the other two there left at eight and the movie went on until 9 o'clock.
Plus, we got to eat the riceballs in seaweed covered with seasoning again.
Oh, and the Japanese teacher has to order it over the internet, since you have to drive a couple of hours to get anything other that sushi, ramen, or dried miso soup bowls. Rice, I think, you can get local.
