forgettable
Jun. 8th, 2014 09:45 amin my excitement about Bound yesterday, i forgot that i also saw Big in Japan. (to be fair, i ran home in between films, walked the dog, visited C at Market Arms and downed a Crabbie's while catching a bit of the second half of the USA v Nigeria pre-World Cup friendly.)
Big in Japan
Seattle band Tennis Pro attempts to create some interest by touring in Japan. (it's fictionalish.) i went because i liked the affable Outsourced from a few years ago, so i keep an eye out for director John Jeffcoat. other than the "woo! they're playing Chop Suey! woo! they're heading west on Northgate!" aspect of films made in Seattle, i wasn't getting much joy from this one. OTOH, Lost in Translation also did nothing for me, so i'd be interested in hearing an opinion from someone else who saw both films but dug Lost in Translation because i suspect they were trying for similar things and failed with me for similar reasons. the highlight of the film for me was finding out what the heck the lyrics were to this song that is on the SIFF pre-film playlist (and i like the animation):
