I've been distracted lately, what with the Barney's GWP and Saks Beauty Week; not to mention the new job. It's hard work ordering huge amounts of makeup, and then having to go to work to pay it off.
Anyway, I just saw the trailer for Finishing the Game at FilmDrunk, and had to post it here. It looks amusing, but I'm approaching with cautious optimism.
In the plus column:
- Writer/director Justin Lim's debut was the highly enjoyable Better Luck Tomorrow.
- It's not a bunch of Asians chinking it up for your amusement.
- Breeze Loo and Colgate Kim. You just know that those names were probably actual stage names some Asian actors used in the 70's.
- Did I mention Hammer?
In the minus column:
- Writer/director Justin Lim's previous film was Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
- There is a potential for the film to repeatedly fall back on "they all look alike" jokes. You know there's going to be at least one.
- 1970's kitsch can get fucking annoying.
- Jebus fucking Christ, Hammer? Deep down, I feel like that's a bad sign.
