Movies

Aachi and Ssipak (2006) Korean animated SF action comedy. Deliberately, excessively violent and offensive, which I normally dislike, and yet I found myself enjoying the excess from start to finish. In this horrible future, human excreta is the global energy source. Infants have a chip inserted in their recta at birth to record their contribution to society, and every time you poop you are rewarded with a highly addictive laxative popsicle, which has become a prime object of exchange, and which has made some people into miniature blue mutants who can eat nothing else, but have lost the ability to excrete. Such obligatory action cliches as the subterranean mine car rollercoaster and dangling over an abyss are made into savage mockeries. Brilliantly stupid, and stylishly deranged. 9/10
