Okay, for those who haven't been following along, I'm in Chicago, there were some bumps regarding my my stuff, but it's all here now, and we're finally online. Busy looking for work, though I saw Kung Fu Hustle last night and it was extraordinary. Most everyone online who wanted to know where I was knows already by now, though, so I'm gonna skip

Re-edit

I saw this Japanese movie last night called All About Lily Chou-Chou. It's definitely a movie you would enjoy; about a young boy whose former best friend turns into his abuser and the pimp of several girls he knows. The only thing that allows him any real release is a pop singer called Lily Chou-Chou, and the online forum dedicated to her which he manages.
Anyway, this was a beautiful movie, shot on digital video but with amazing use of color, composition, and lightning. It was very emotionally affecting as well.
The problem was that it was too long.
This thing came in at like three hours.
That, and some of the editing was confusing. You're not supposed to be sitting there asking "Wait...which character died?" when it's not intended to be a mystery. And this happened TWICE.
I'm convinced that with a good editor, this could have been a GREAT movie. I'm not going to insist on doing it myself, but if it was just trimmed and tightened up, it could have been dominant.
