Kung Fu Hustle
Mar. 31st, 2005 12:16 pmAs Flirting with Disaster is to Something About Mary, so Shaolin Soccer is to Kung Fu Hustle. Some of you will rave and rave and rave about the newer one, and some of you will think it's kinda gross and stereotyped and has gone way, way, way over the top.
Then again, now that the "flying people, hidden wires" style of movie-martial arts is fairly common, the only way to deal with it is to go way, way, way over the top.
Amazing special effects, and very well-filmed. I particularly liked the scene with the jumping cat, at least in terms of effects.

Afterwards, St.Eve dropped me off at Trivia, where we had enough for 2 teams. Ours came in first, entirely covering my tab for the night. (At last! I am profiting from my B.A. in Art History!) The other team came in third, giving![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
olszowka and myself their unclaimed free beers. He and I walked home afterward. I probably could've walked from Arlington (the T-stop) to Kendall too (but was afraid of the show "selling" out before I got there). Now that the weather is nice enough to make such a walk pleasant, trivia becomes more attractive just for the exercise value.
