Some Japanese guys are in a prison.
I have no idea what’s going on with this, but after nearly a half an hour I’m just going to give up.

Instead of being allowed to sleep in on his day off, a man is called in to work an extra shift at his convenience store job, and his day goes to complete shit.
The acting is a little halted in places, since these are mostly or perhaps entirely first-timers, but the writing is spectacular. It’s got great flow and style, and is hilarious and memorable.
I first rented this as a VHS tape back in the day, and was immediately impressed. I’m glad this movie, and its author, have done well.
Re-issued as “Clerks. X”

A man stares into the sun as a child, and develops superhuman powers of math, pattern recognition with a side order of paranoia etc.
I don’t think this will appeal to most people, since it deal with topics only the fringe of humanity have any comprehension of. I happen to like it quite a bit, for reasons I certainly never hinted at in the previous sentence.
