RIP Midnight Express
Some more photos and some sad news from Jiangtou in Hong Kong ... Chungking Express was my first exposure to Wong Kar Wai so this stings a little bit ...
on our way back from a night of drinks and chats about HK film, a
friend and I walked by Midnight Express from Chungking Express and were
upset to find the following.
some locals at the bar next to it said it has been closed for 2
months...
sad sad sad. an example of ignorance and lack of appreciation for
cinema pop culture in HK

Damn, I just had a drunken falafel eating episode there in September. I hope some well-off WKW fan gets the urge to rebuild this... and maybe I'll try salad this time...
