last night i saw a movie called 'kungfu hustle'. if only more of us took ourselves as seriously as the makers of this movie. it was slightly strange in that one felt the overtones of an almost gallic irony in what was after all a Very Oriental Movie. highly recommend it tho' to all readers - in the unlikely and hence probable event of someone drifting across this blog in this bizarre pretzel shaped universe - ok , if you can come up with something more irrational and tortured I'll give the weary metaphor a rest. till then I'll stick to the classics, though their smooth well worn surface may make sticking tough as hell. Since we're talking bout self aware, tho' steering clear of irony, blogging (so far) seems to me to be all about getting your voice past this big lump of self awareness lodged squarely in your throat. even without an audience and in a position so far undisclosed (un-dis-closed: who said double negatives were a no-no?)
Anyways, do go see the film, and then get back to me. In an age where scary movie is your archetypal spoof, it raises the levels and standards of humour in the category, in fact redefines the very genre itself in a much needed re evaluation.
