There was that japanese porn that I saw where they stuck the girl's head in the toilet while ramming her from behind.

I thought that was very funny.

Mo0o I been trying to watch Water but so far haven't been able to get into it. Should I give it more time or is it a slow movie ? I usually enjoy most foreign movies.
