The first time I saw a promo for HBO’s Flight of the Conchords, I was sorely tempted to buy a ticket for the “Man, HBO’s Sunday nights are fucking done” train. After exploding with a long string of landmark pop culture touchstones, it almost seemed like a regression to throw up this tiny musical/comedy weirdness … Continue reading
I don’t know the first thing about Max Makowski’s work, so it’s entirely possible that the "Hong Kong-based" director is just the guy to bring the popular 1970s television series Kung Fu to the big screen.
