bryantOf course, if I went to Fantasia for a weekend -- say, July 30th through August 1st -- I could still catch about a dozen movies and have a great time. Say...
Hillside Strangler for weird American avant garde serial killer cinema (or Heaven's Seven for the Thai take on Vietnam, it's a hard choice).
One Missed Call cause who doesn't love Takashi Miike? This looks like his take on Ringu.
Deadly Outlaw Rekka. Two hours of Miike is good; four hours is superb! Um.
Porco Rosso, Miyazaki, yes.
Harry Knuckles and the Pearl Necklace, for cheap laughs.
Executioners From Shaolin, the classic Shaw Brothers movie.
Enter... Zombie King!, cause masked wrestlers and zombies can't be skipped.
Toolbox Murders, because it's the only thing in that time slot and I like to hurt myself.
Malice@Doll (or maybe Freak Out) -- ooo, wacky CGI anime!
Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, classic machinima, and I would love to see this on the big screen.
Robot Stories makes a nice contrast to the machinima.
Into the Mirror -- Korean horror is not always good but so far in my experience it's been interesting.
The Bodyguard, cause I want to see more Thai martial arts action.
It would make me sad to miss 8th Diagram Pole Fighter and Ju-on and Battlefield Baseball and The Card Player and I could keep going. But some is better than none. The only problem is going to be finding a flight out of Montreal at 10 PM Sunday.
Anyone want to meet me up there?

Date: 2004-07-03 12:21 am (UTC)10 movie tickets for $60 Canadian? That's a steal at twice the price! Probably need, what, 12-14 tickets?
mmm. Tim Hortons are in my near future...

Of these, I am most optimistic about Red vs. Blue, The Bodyguard, Executioners From Shaolin, Porco Rosso, One Missed Call, and Deadly Outlaw Rekka. Those last two are going to be at about 3.5 Kill Bill Part Is on the violence scale, just so's you know.
And of course, if something else tickles your fancy that's cool by me. In particular, if you wanna see Saving Private Tootsie I'll tag along and I would be OK with staying very late on Sunday to see The Calamari Wrestler. Although I think that would be insane.
