To Do, This Weekend: Kung Fu, Mockumentary Heaven, Or Fresh Air
· Not cool enough to get tickets to the sold-out Bloc Party show last night at the Bowery? Then you're probably not cool enough to get into tonight. Join the club. [BB]
· Kung Fu Hustle, named best film of the Hong Kong Film Awards, is being billed as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on steroids. This is undoubtedly a good thing, since, quite frankly, that tiger movie was boring as hell. In any event, it opens tonight. [flavorpill]
Saturday:
· Parker Posey, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, and the rest of the Christoper Guest mockumentary fellowship congregate at MoMA for some good ol' fashioned, unscripted conversation. Make sure to ask the members of Spinal Tap if they can crank it up to an 11 during their accoustic performance. [flavorpill]
· Flip a coin, Hipster X: The Fiery Furnaces play at Bowery; Austin rockers And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead play at Irving Plaza. [Irving & BB]
Sunday:
· We got nothing. Bongs, TiVo, or, God forbid, the great outdoors. The possibilities are endless.
