I?m like a month late to the convo, but I saw people discussing the revival of Takeshi?s Castle on here: What a great show!
As an American I only ever got to see MXC, so seeing Takeshi?s Castle was mind blowing. There was all kinds of plot and lore that MXC never bothered to explain, lol. Also they had a lot of great Japanese comedians show up on there too. The revival was fantastic.

Has anyone watched the live action Rohan at the Louvre on Amazon Prime? It is a movie continuation of the live action Kishibe Rohan series that was scripted by all time Tokusatsu GOAT - Kobayashi Yasuko (she also wrote the good seasons of the Jojo anime, so that?s probably why she got the job too). The movie is fantastic, in addition to the all-time great writer it also stars Kyoryu Violet and Issey Takahashi who did the voice of Shin Ultraman. It?s a great film that amazon did a really bad job of promoting, imho. Also while I am spamming movie recs with tokusatsu actors - Signal 100 - it?s pretty much a mini Ex-Aid reunion with Kamen Rider Brave and Parado?s actors starring. The plot: uh it?s basically Battle Royale with some goofy tweaks. I had fun. It?s on Amazon?s Freevee service in the US if anyone is interested. |

Oh I did not know the captain had Tokusatsu cred too! Haha. Just from watching MXC I was surprised to see that guy was an enemy of Takeshi. I thought they were buds because of the wag MXC depicted it, lol.

Haha! I did not know that about Takahashi. He’s a very interesting actor. Very effective at playing an absolute psychopath like Rohan.
If you watch enough Tokusatsu shows watching Japanese movies or J-dramas becomes a lot more fun. Just constantly recognizing people. |

I think everyone knows that there are fake branded items. I recently learned that branded bags are sold for those who want to better disguise their fake. But what really blew my mind was that these bags... are also counterfeit. And not as part of a fake, but by themselves! I don’t know, maybe this is something obvious, but, as for me, this is a particularly advanced form of commodity fetishism.

Are you asking how my day is today? I think I can share this. I feel great and am working on my physical fitness. Every day I want to go to the gym and increase my mass. I confess to a big secret. I use muscles growth hormone, I know that not everyone has a positive attitude towards this, but you should see what results I have achieved in a short period of time. I think you wanted it too!

Oh, well, since we're talking about steroids... I think everyone has the right to decide for themselves. My personal opinion: if you work out for yourself and a beautiful body, then it’s better to do without them. Because the body will not forgive such fraud and will punish it very seriously. But if you are an athlete or an actor/model, then you can’t do without them. Let's be honest, in big sports those who have better pharmacology win. In this case, if you ruin your body with drugs, then it’s for the sake of money, fame and medals, and not a short buzz in the company of stoned friends.

I only took steroids one for medicinal usage to give my immune system a little boost against hay fever. But, yeah, I would highly recommend staying away from them as much as possible, and especially against long-term usage.

Today I met with students of the sixth and seventh grades (I think, the second and third classes of the middle school), where I talked about my teenage fantasy novel "Shadow Girl", as well as about creativity in general. I performed in the school auditorium and it was my first experience with such a large audience. The children were very active and interested and literally bombarded me with questions (I've had this happen before, but with a much smaller number of young listeners). The event turned out to be wonderful, exciting and informative both for me and for the students. In particular, I will note the interest in horror, so I advise all horror authors to pay attention to this age category.
The meeting itself seemed positive and not overshadowed by anything. But already after it, the air alarm reminded us in what time we live. And I made sure I chose the right tone for the second part. |

And a small bonus: a program for my speech at school. It is incredibly pleasant to hold it in your hands and reread it. I keep smiling even now as I type these lines.
