    I've seen half of 'em, and they were all pretty great. And yes, welcome.
    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."

    It really is. The screening I attended was a digital restoration, too, and it looked incredible, so thank goodness I decided not to watch the copy I got last year (I stopped after fives minutes - the quality was so bad and dark and washed out I thought the opening scenes were supposed to be night scenes, was laughing to myself in the theatre when I realized they were actually day scenes).

    The first Yang I've seen, too. A Brighter Summer Day is screening here next month so I'm going to try to catch that as well.

    It's on America's tortured brow
    That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
    Now the workers have struck for fame
    'Cause Lennon's on sale again
    See the mice in their million hordes
    From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
    Rule Britannia is out of bounds
    To my mother, my dog, and clowns
