Video Programming / Re: Asian Film?
May 25, 2009, 02:18:35 PM
It's always better to have more choices. Previous years, I just jumped to the other asian film room when one asian film wasn't something I was interested in watching. If there were 2 movies running that I wanted to watch, I could catch the other one at an encore presentation. This year, the encore presentations were almost impossible to attend since they were in the very early morning (likely forced to odd hours due to limited slots in the schedule). For example, if you wanted to see The Good the Bad and the Weird but missed the first showing, the encore was at 5:30AM. Others were even tougher, Paco's encore was at 2:30AM, Cyborg She was at 4:30AM (those 2 I missed the openning to attend a graduation ceremony) With an extra asian film room, movies could be shown with multiple encore presentations and not forced to only show at odd hours. Of course, with another room, there would be room for the popular older asian movies in the schedule. My Sassy Girl and the Steven Chow movies (A Chinese Odyssey and God of Cookery) from last year come to mind. I discovered the great comedy film Bio-Zombie from last year's showing... a movie that would not have had a place in this year's con...

I'm praying that next year, a second room will come back... even if you guys only can get your hands on some small closet to plug a tiny tv in. Even that's better than not being able to see some of these asian movies at all.

I think in a way, having only one room helps;   past  years have suffered from double booking where I'd always have to make a gamble on one film or the other because of the awkward overlaps.
