Austin isn’t truly a late-night town. There are just those same few places serving food after midnight. It’s not an early-bird town, either. There are so many things it’s impossible to do before a certain hour of the day.

Tinseltown south has blessed us with a 10:30 am screening of Kung Fu Hustle, though, and the turnout last weekend at that hour was very decent. It was wonderful that the movie was not dubbed.

Many beloved veterans of the Hong Kong movie world populate this extravaganza. The screen is jammed with almost more than the eye can take in. Special favorites here were The Fated Lovers and the Musicians in Dark Spectacles. I have made a solemn vow to practice the Buddha Hand. This one needs to be seen on the big screen.
