Should I be upset that I am going to miss Flowers of Shanghai due to work?
Will probably check out Puppetmaster.

Flowers is great, but you should be able to find a DVD of that.
I don't think I can pull the trigger on Puppetmaster a third time, it let me cold twice.

I resaw last night -- it could be BW's best post-Apartment film inho (tho I might go with Kiss Me, Stupid).
Pretty much ruined by the FF's condescending guffawers, of course. Fucking shits.

bird people is worth seeing; feels like there's an amazing film in there somewhere but the pacing is overly fatuous and there are numerous tactical errors... the use of Bowie and a painfully long skype are particular culprits. But the bird's eye (and bird tracking) footage is amazing and the new-yorkeresque storyline are fascinating when they're not abused.

i remember when this was just a kickstarter never expected it to be this big, glad it's getting good press

it's pretty good? both my friend and i were kinda sad it didn't go a little harder and maybe not make the characters so 2-D but I thought it was fairly aggressive and funny. Dude has a major hard-on for Spike for sure but there was a lot less misogyny than in Spike's films... plus the animus of John Hughes, I thought. It also smelled strongly of first film with a lot of flashy camera tricks: freeze frame moments of blackface, a vertigo zoom for no real reason, somewhat corny interstitial graphics. But good acting! Generally good writing! Definitely a step up from any mainstream comedy about race that I've seen lately but maybe not so drastically different from what shows up on How To Get Away With Murder and i dunno if that's a question of mass culture shift or just the impact of rimes' arrowhead or what exactly.anyway, yeah, worth a watch.
