I read a whole ass 1000 pages Asimov book bc I was 9 and thought Empire was a made up word for Star Wars like Alderaan or kessel etc and the book must be about empire in star wars. It had robot sex in it.

Yknow that post about that person watchin Parasite expecting there to be an actual flesh parasite monster.

Well I was readin “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison, which is a good book about a man tryna find his way in a world that doesn’t want him after his entire life plan fuckin falls apart (the invisibility in this case is metaphorical).

And I was NOT reading “THE Invisible Man” by H.G. Wells (which does in fact star an actually invisible man)

So I’m readin like ‘damn, this dude fuckin goin through it! The groups of power present truly do not see him as the man he is, but rather what they wish him to be! Making him, metaphorically, invisible!

…

And then he’s actually gonna turn invisible!!!!”

#It is funny the other way too - cant remember the name of the movie but it shared a name with b-class monster horror #and I start warching this “very good recommended for me great movie” and at some point I was like ok i have been trolled #I too went into Parasitr knowing nothing of it thinking theres a literal parasite and it actually enhances experience when you figure it out #why cant i remember the name of the movie but it took me atleast half an hour to notice my mistake #Honestly though the Asimov book may not have been about star wars but I can not believe I actually read it #and understsood very little bc i was indeed 9 and it was Isaac asimov not the easiest read for most adults either lol #WE DID NOT HAVE INTERNET OR CABLE TV AND HOBBIES WERE TOO EXPENSIVE except reading library is a friend #parasite #star wars #godzilla #isaac asimov
