[!@#$%!]

crazy rich asians

 

no, it’s not an unmitigated piece of shit. it’s superfucking corny or chuckleworthy camp, depending.

and yes, embarrassing to watch haaa haaa haaaa. but it’s not without merit.

for me it’s a piece of asian anthropology—i’ve never been to singapore but i read about it every day.

then the cinematography is this insane bright color. i have a friend who is a painter from china and her blues and yellows are fucking insane. i see some of that here. what are the colors of the chinese rainbow? every culture picks their hues. i want their pantone numbers.

and, hm, too many good looking women, haaa haaa haa.

and yeah it has its funny moments. about 1/2 of it is funny, the other 1/2 is high fructose corn syrup.

 

yeah, if you appreciate film as a craft, the look of it is insane

now i have to find/read this issue
