01:57 pm - VPX Revisited
Chris at Waterfall in Dalat
I did take a few pictures, but not very many, unfortunately. I've linked to what I did take though, of course.

The VPX Reunion East was a rousing success. Terri's got an awesome place up there. We sat outside for most of the early part of Saturday. A few of us went swimming too, which was great - I hardly ever do that anymore. The inside of the house is nice too - comfortable and spacious and with many artefacts adorning all the walls, including various farming implements. It also has a wonderful log cabin-y smell.

It was great seeing a bunch of you again, and the timing was quite perfect for me too. Shame the rest of you couldn't be there too, but We Will All Meet Again, I'm sure.

Here are the few photos I took (the clickable one is our "VPX Room 50 Lives" cake):

Caught it on Sunday at the Sunshine Cinema with [info]avocadovpx when we got back from CT. (His flight back home wasn't until Monday morning)

I'm glad I was warned in advance. For the first two thirds, it was a brilliant, moody, thought-provoking, well-made film. And then it's like someone (who grew up on a diet of slasher flicks) just came along and took a huge dump on it. I really don't know what they were thinking. The slasher stuff was real B or C-grade material, while the rest was a strong A.

The points they were making with the slasher character could have easily been done, much more effectively, without any of the slasher aspects. Annoys me more than an actual bad film does, because this one could have really been something special.
