Watching TV All the Time Makes You Stupid (2007 Video) User Reviews

Interesting But Oppressively Filmed Two-Act Play

[jfrentzen-942-204211 · 5/10 · 25 April 2020]

Yuki (Honoka) is a shut in, possibly agoraphobic, living in a trash-laden apartment. She feeds her goldfish, watches TV and sleeps a lot. In what is essentially a filmed two-act play, the camera never cuts away a green-infused view of the apartment. The green filter apparently illustrates Yuki's only method to making money -- the camera is connected to the Internet for voyeurs to enjoy watching her. Problem is, she never leaves her bed. A technical helper arrives at her apartment and suggests that she leave her bed sometimes and undress for the camera. She remains in a near-catatonic state as more people come into the apartment, such as a social worker who eventually persuades her to go outdoors, and a boyfriend who leaves her food and has sex with her. This movie is well done but the apartment setting is as oppressive for the viewer as it is for Yuki. This is an artistic effort that really should be played on-stage. The acting is good, with A-V star Honoka again demonstrating an ability to rise above her sex film beginnings. The final scene is somewhat shocking and ambiguous, but at least it is in color.

Watch With Patience

I'm ashamed to admit that I probably wouldn't have hung in there to watch had I not seen quite early on that the woman was attractive. Incredibly so! It was such a depressing situation for her that I had to see how it ended. I will say that it provoked thought. Both about myself and about society.

The movie was definitely different. Humorous. A bit depressing. And my spoiler is that I believe they both came down together. One way or the other. Holding hands.

Before Room there was Kill Ugly TV

[Leofwine_draca · 1/10 · 18 May 2017]

Before ROOM there was KILL UGLY TV, a very low budget Japanese pinku thriller about a young woman who has spent years living inside a single room. The entire story takes place in said location, which is extremely messy, and there are only a handful of characters to boot. As per usual, the version on Amazon Prime is shorn of any adult content that might have once existed. As a result this production is boring and tame, shot with a gloomy green tint that makes it a sleep-inducing watch.
