Slog - Comments on This Weekend at the Movies http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/this_weekend_at_the_movies_8 There are way too many movies opening this week. So first, a news breather: SIFF Group has hired a full-time programmer for SIFF Cinema at McCaw Hall: We'll see if summarily fired former Castro Theatre programmer Anita Monga (just the kind of Maryna-cough-Ajaja-cough name to introduce SIFF movies, if she's dragged in to that racket) will stick with the sloppy thirds AD Carl Spence humbly suggested SIFF would be content with--or seek out more contested bookings. Monga seems like a smart hire. Stranger Genius Award-winner David Russo is presently casting for The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle (formerly #2)--I hope...

I feel sorry for film critics that have to endure things like Reign Over Me, TMT, Pride, Shooter, well, pretty much everything you mentioned.

God bless you poor people for seeing those things so I don't have too. You're America's true heroes.

Want to find your pressure points or your chakra watch that movie. It'll remind you of yourself even if your not a Wushu master.

Then after stepping into the ropes Jet li says
"We in Ancient China have traditionaly waigered death in open competition, but now we extend an open hand in friendship." says Jet Li.
In next sequence the chinese boxing anouncer goes over to a Hulk of a man that looks like Kane(i think) and hes wearing red white and blue boxing shorts. The guy is huge and this chinese anouncer goes over and says
" I think he says he wants to kick your ass."
Wushu heaven ensues and thats just part of the story. which is based on a real chinese hero. Or maybe all of us.
