There's no restriction as to what one should read.

However, there's a restriction as to what one can watch.

I just don't get it. From my point of view, I tend to get more imaginative reading and it's the same as watching the same-titled film.

So, why the restriction to the films and not the books too?

Here's an example:

Anyone, and I do mean anyone of any age can read this book.

Norwegian Wood is a novel by Haruki Murakami and yes, there's intimate scenes in the book which is kind of descriptive to any imaginative minds. Like mine.

It has also been made into a movie by a Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung.

Norwegian Wood which stars Rinko Kikuchi and the man I'm squealing over, Kenichi Matsuyama is now showing in cinemas. Unfortunately, it has been rated M18 for intimate scenes.

Disappointing much?

Maybe there should be a new rating impose in Singapore. Perhaps a rating for 16 years old and above?

I really want to catch this movie but all I can do now is wait till I'm really 18 and buy the DVD itself. If I'm lucky enough, hunt it online and quietly watch it alone.

The same thing goes for this book and same-titled film. I've never been so heartbroken before. Tch.

This book...

Again, anyone can read it. Even a child of 10 years old with the mind or maturity of a young adult.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Also been made into a movie...

Staring Keira Knightly, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield.

For goodness' sake, it's also M18 for intimate scenes.

Damn right. I see no fairness in this.

I'm a year shy to watch these seemingly awesome movies.

And off I go to feel all depressed at one corner.

Epic Fail of the Millennium

Life is getting scarier when idiots attempted to make a real-life adaptation of certain anime. It reeks of utter epic failure. And a disgrace to the original anime and their creator. I'm very sure they would be cussing and cringing at the sight of the aftermath of such adaptation with white people as the actors/actresses in it. Please, anime should only be left to the Japanese alone. Don't screw it up and taint it anymore.

EPIC FAIL OF THE MILLENNIUM:

Live-Action Pokémon Movie Trailer (fan-made)

After watching this, I don't know which is more scarier... A Pikachu that looks like a druggie, a fugly old Ash, failed acting or the whole trailer itself.

IDIOTS!

Dragon Ball Evolution Movie Trailer

That's a really failed Goku and other casts. I pity Akira Toriyama.

MORONS!

BLEACH

I'm going to quote this from Wiki. The horror of it all.

"In March 2010, Warner Bros. (USA/Canada/International) and Regency Enterprises confirmed that it is in talks to create a live action movie adaptation of the series. Peter Segal, Arnon Milchan and Michael Ewing have been lined up to produce the movie."

I can only say one thing in return,

"Fuck you, Warner Bros and Regency Enterprises. Just leave the hell off Bleach, pack your bags and go back to where you idiots belong. Westerners doing a live-action adaptation of anime is a huge fail whale, I warn you."

Seriously. Bleach? Live-action movie adaptation? I can't imagine how Ichigo, Rukia or Byakuya will look like on other humans. Or how stupid they will be acting.

I'm going to quote again this mindless statement from geek-news.mtv.com:

"What anime/manga from your childhood would you like to see get the 'dark and edgy' Hollywood treatment?

Want to know what's my answer to that, honey?

"I'm going to fucking shove that 'dark and edgy Hollywood treatment' up your asses if you change anymore anime/manga into live action movie adaptation. It's utterly repulsive to my sane mind!"

So save us, don't turn anymore anime into any real-life adaptation! *cringed*

Another one more live action adaptation that almost make me want to puke blood.

The Last Airbender

Shamelessly, all the cool characters turned into something so repulsive in the movie. Prince Zuko, Toph, Aang and the siblings.

I got nothing else to say to Warner Bros.

Disappointment.

*shakes head*
