(no subject)

The last pass on my tattoo confirmed that I've developed an allergy to the adhesive for the waterproof bandages they use.
So today I got the non-adhesive treatment which is I kid you not basically the pads that they put in meat trays. And then saran wrap.

Killing Romance

My only midnighter of the festival this year. I can't adequately express how nice it is to be able to walk home from the Egyptian

Gonzo Korean comedy about an actress and her biggest fan plotting to murder the actress's husband. It's okay, the husband's abusive and over-the-top evil. The rest of it is so weird, it simply must be experienced

Secret #2

That was fucked up

Didi

Full length narrative feature from the director of Nai Nai and Wai Po, vaguely autobiographical. (Nai Nai even plays our hero's Nai Nai.)
It's a perfectly cromulent film about an eventful summer for a Taiwanese-American teen boy in California in the late aughts.

Had to miss the director Q&A afterward to get to a tattoo session. (I wish him well but wasn't disappointed.) This was my last in-person film, streaming will continue this week
