Empty theaters by Moa Kaka	Apr 7th, 2004 10:31:36 PM
I went to the Dole Cannery theaters last night (Tuesdays are dollar hotdog days) and the hawaii film festival films were completely empty. I don't think anyone would go even if the films were free - which they weren't, they were $8.00. Not to sound like a boor (too late) but does anyone even care about this?

Where is the Orgasm Harry?? by _RoloTomasi_	Apr 8th, 2004 12:07:47 AM
Harry, maybe you should take a break from Producership if you can't even give the heads up, or even comment on the new KILL BILL trailer...
KB2 by SilentType	Apr 8th, 2004 02:19:28 AM
He doesnt tell us about the new trailer, cos he's seen the film, and so we're not important. I for one think it ROCKS!!!!
Nihongo by gaffelgremlin	Apr 8th, 2004 04:51:09 AM
Ummm was adding the word 'nihongo' on purpose? If you meant Japanese, as in the language, kool. But if you meant Japan, its either Nihon or Nippon....

I'm sure there are Peter U tributes & Kill Bill 2 reviews at other sites. Go to them. Go away.
How is it that ObscureReference is still allowed to post here? by vikingkitty	Apr 8th, 2004 09:39:35 AM
Can't we all agree this guy is an idiot, and work towards getting him banned? Has he EVER talked about a movie?

Dates on this fest? by ChickenGeorgeVII	Apr 8th, 2004 12:13:34 PM
I'm sorry to be an asshole about this...but wasn't this fest running several months ago when it went on and on about Whale Rider? Or has it been a year already...and my drinking is out of control?....And thus, I think I'll have another cocktail! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
No offense to the reviewer....... by Manaqua	Apr 8th, 2004 12:38:49 PM
But this has been buggin me for a while and I just happened to choose now to say something. I really displike reviews that go on and on about the plot of the film. We don't need a scene by scen descriptin and several paragraphs telling us all of the plot points. This isn't coverage. You want to be a good reviewer? Sum up the plot in a few succinct sentences and then proceed to discuss the film on it merits or lack thereof. Writing out every single plot point not only ruins a film, but its boring as hell to read. M
George - you are rightly confused by Moa Kaka	Apr 8th, 2004 02:45:35 PM
The Hawaii International Film Festival ("HIFF") in this article is the "HIFF Spring Fling," which takes place in April. The other boring HIFF that you are probably thinking of is the "regular" one that takes place in November. Or, maybe you were thinking of the Maui International Film Festival, which takes place in June. They are all equally boring, so it's understandable that someone could get them mixed up. The problem with the HIFF is that they try to out-do themselves each year with the number of foreign countries that are represented (this time, there are 20 films from 12 countries). That's great in theory - gives us a chance to see non-Hollywood films. BUT there's no-one in the HIFF who is able to separate the wheat from the chaff. So we end up with crap from some third-world country nobody heard of. Just because it's an obscure film from a destitute country, doesn't mean it's art. No wonder the theaters were completely empty.
