Day 105(Osaka) : Movies + studies = bored

Yep, these extended weekends are very predictable. There's only so much I can do on a student budget. It mostly revolves around me lounging in front of my TV doing as little as possible so I don't break a sweat in this ungodly heat. I'm starting to wonder if doing an all nighter and sleeping during the day would make any difference. Though it's already too late in the weekend to be giving that a shot.

I watched one of the first movies I've ever seen in a long time. Some legend of that one chick from Street Fighter. The whole story was ridiculous, the acting was terrible, and even the camera angels were jacked up. There was one shot where they were trying to zoom into a pier from a distance but they didn't properly mount the thing so while it was zooming it was also jiggling in the wind. It looks like some really drunk person was just holding the camera in his hand to take the shot.

I think my favorite part was where M. Bison did a c-section with his bare hands so he wouldn't feel guilty anymore. Apparently some part of merc'ing his wife was supposed to make him stronger? But he didn't have any special powers compared to the main chicks magic ball of doom thingy. What's worse is that she totally wrecks the guy in a gruesome death right in front of his innocent daughter and then pretends to be a good guy. I mean bad guy snaps good girls father's neck in front of her, so it's only natural she would turn around and snap his neck in front of his own daughter. That's just karma... But seriously. What the heck was the message they were trying to give with this movie? It seriously makes me wonder if they ever even played the game before.
