@bicmay #TheWeddingBanquet2025 #AAPI #Movies

I just saw the Wedding Banquet at my local #AMC & this article helps to better inform #KellyMarieTran's performance in it.

However, I don't agree with the author of the article that this film was a remake of the original.

It's an entirely different movie which is only loosely based on the original and should stand in it's own right as a #queer #AsianAmerican #film that serves as a counter point to #JoyRide (2023), which was a mainly #straight Asian American film which also had a uniquely open (for an Asian American film) #sexual perspective.

Today, another asymmetric American car, the AMC Pacer, which I saw at the Bremen Classic Motor Show in 2014. The compact Pacer, introduced in 1975, had unusual proportions that contributed to its unusual looks. It was much shorter than typical American cars of the time, but remained ‘full size’ in terms of its width. The passenger-side door was four inches longer than that on the driver’s side.

James Jani's documentary about the cult of Bed Bath & Beyond stock was easily the single greatest thing I watched in 2024 and in some ways one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen. Human beings obviously have a deeply ingrained drive to develop irrational beliefs when placed together in groups - not quite #Thanatos but also not unrelated.

(Part one, about the cult of Gamestop, is also pretty great, but not nearly as disturbing.)
