Movie Review: Dead Slowly

A new benchmark for brevity. I can review this film in one word.

Given the title, you might reasonably ask, "Howslowly?"

Well, dear readers, I'll tell you.Inconceivably.

Inexcusably.Insufferably.

InsultinglyInterminably.Intolerably.Irrationally.And that's just the I's. Take your pick. I try to support Hong Kong film and filmmakers.

A Great AnD Day

Earlier this week (read: I can't remember which day), I met up with AnD artist Mimi Leung to catch up on what's new and to help her with some heavy-lifting type stuff.

It's the Polish national pastime, and considering I weighed a multiple of the stuff, it was hardly work.Mimi's artwork hypnotizes me. Something about it compels me to look at it.

She's pretty good to look at too. I could do a lot worse for companionship, especially in publ...Read more

RESPECT MY GANGSTER: F@#$ you, Bambi

Apparently, at the National Zoo in Washington DC, a young female deer (a doe) made the terminal mistake of jumping into an enclosure with two female lions.

Darwinism ensues.

There is no graphic content in this video, just nature as God intended it to be.I'd have paid money to watch that show.

The deer, although separated from the lions, was later euthanized because its injuries were too severe. Which is just as well. None of the other deer would ever believe her war story:

My Teammates Rule

A while ago (a couple weeks?)Yung Yung Yuasked me if I wanted to take part in the 48 Hour Film Project. I thought she wanted me to help with the music, and maybe be an extra or a one-line character.

Thomas Lo directed, and Stephanie Fodorproduced and played a small role, as did Y3 and Read more

I've been so busy lately...

How busy? Well, my internet connection got turned off because I forgot to pay the bill for about a month. Horrible. I had to read a book last night until they turned it back on. I almost lost mymind .

I'm so busy I never blogged about Mr. Big in Singapore.

So I better start there.

Sunday, Oct. 18

I left the hotel early, carrying the Less Paul. I walked to Fort Canning Park, which is a pretty dumb thing to do that close to the equator.

By the time I got where I needed to be, I was ...Read more

HKAFF Viewings

I apologize for a criminally short entry here, but my life has refused to come out of 5th gear lately...

I have been viewing lots of movies at the HK Asian Film Festival.

Most of them are Sion Sono (he directed Love Exposure) films: Hazard, Biciycle Sighs, Into A Dream, Suicide Club.

Yesterday I saw Mother, a Korean Film, and Air Doll, a Japanese film about a blow-up doll who comes to life. Not as salacious as you'd think, and a very good film. The cinematography was excellent.

There are very likely ...Read more

Words Fail Me

Halloween Costume

I was a bit stumped as far as a costume for Halloween.

Then I had an idea, and I am happy to announce that it will work and I have already assembled (or already own) all the components.

Edward Van Halen, circa 1995:

When You're Really Big, They Call You Mr.

Friday morning, I woke up at 6:15. Not because I had an early flight, but because I had agreed to meet Rick at the gym at 7:00 AM.

I realized I may have turned the corner into what Hunter Thompson would call Body Nazism if I was exercising before a morning flight, not to mention going directly to the airport from the gym.

Still, it was nice to have someone to talk to, and we ate breakfast afterwards. I spend a lot of time alone, so the break is worth it.

Tales and Treasures of Tokyo... Tattoos, Too!

Sorry it took me so long to get this posted. I went to Tokyo, came back, and have been busy as hell ever since.

It was a short, hectic trip, but I had a LOT of fun!

I landed at Narita on Wednesday afternoon.

Far be it from me to complain about white people (I have a family full of them), but I had just got in when this drunk Australian...

Okay, maybe he was in a sun burning bed that turned every inch of him bright red, and maybe he used Old Beer mouthwash, who knows?
