monday. who in the past determined that there would only be 2 days of rest in a week? anyhoo\u2026weekend was coo. this weekend was the new york\/tokyo film festival\u2026which i had tix for 2 of the sessions. saturdays session of nakano and ishii movies was sweet. samurai fiction rocked! i thought at first the whole thing about stereo future being a \u201csequel\u201d to samurai fiction was just a novelty\u2026but now id suggest to anyone to watch the 2 movies back to back. its still not a sequel in the traditional sense, but the segue into stereo future is coo. the third episode of the sf series\u2026sonic four\u2026was however snuffed due to technical difficulties. argh. they instead started to play stereo future instead. huzzah! but then they cut it off after 7 minutes! bizatch! they said that that was all that they were allowed to show (sonic four wouldve been 7 minutes). they then showed master of shiatsu (um\u2026weird) and then electric dragon 80,000v\u2026.which i watched with my ears covered. ishii\u2019s on crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sundays film fest outing was more for relaxation. they started off with voices of a distant star, which at first looked cheesy, but it was actually coo\u2026pretty provocative. at first it seems like ur avg teenage romance blah, but then a star destroyer flies overhead into space (?!) and then the girl enlists in the space navy and heads off to fight invading aliens(!?) but she keeps sending the guy text msgs to let him know whats going on. this seems like an odd premise at first (m-life its not), but its pretty effective\u2026as she and her battle group fly farther and farther away from earth, her msgs take longer and longer to reach him\u2026eventually taking 8 years for him to just receive 1 msg. evidently, voices was also made by one dude, makoto shinkai, on his desktop. shinkais a nutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

junkers come here was the next anime up\u2026about a girl, her distant parents who are on the verge of divorce, and her talking schnauzer junkers. yea\u2026ok. well\u2026junkers was definitely coo, in the same vein as hayao miyazaki classics like kiki and porco rosso. even fish enjoyed it! didnt think he would. and the last movie lined up was hideaki anno\u2019s first live action movie\u2026love and pop. based on ryu murakami\u2019s novel topaz 2, love and pop\u2019s about japanese high school girls in short skirts. wooha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

anyhoo\u2026this was the first annual new york\/tokyo fim festival. im hoping next years will have an even bigger line-up, more enthusiastic host (i think he drank too much ny-quil), mebbe even a celebrity or two (akiko! akiko!). but keep the venue. damn were the seats cushy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
