Since it's still been mostly flying under the radar, a reminder that we have a 30 hour Wong Kar-wai series being released over the next two months.
"Once you start watching it, you will be hooked,” promises @petersob13.bsky.social about Wong Kar-wai’s thirty episode series, BLOSSOMS SHANGAI. Streaming now on the Criterion channel with three new episodes dropping every week:
Wong Kar-wai's Gorgeous, Captivating "Blossoms Shanghai" Arrives on the Criterion Channel | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Wong Kar-wai's Blossoms Shanghai is finally here. It was worth the wait.

I will admit to many frailties and flaws. I am far from perfect and have made plenty of mistakes and there are plenty of things I am bad at.
You could not pay me enough to declare that I am incapable of composing my own insults.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed?
