Gah!  I was lusting after this film!  All of us Twitch-ers were!  We all had tickets for this morning at nine, but they didn’t do us a whole lot of good ... apparently some time between the first screening and last night the Festival organizers released their print for a private screening.  Bad move.  The private screening people killed the third reel.  Killed it dead.  Thus, no second Kung Fu Hustle screening.  All you people who went to the first one:  I hate you.

    I feel your pain too, man.  Apparently, they show House of Flying Daggers instead and I didn’t even got to watch that because I left right after they told me...grrrrr

    It seems they did not kill the reel at all:

    Whaaaaaaaaa?!?  If that’s true, that’s really, really sad on Sony’s part.  What happened to all of the anti-piracy devices they kept telling us about at screenings?  Has there been a record of piracy at the festival in the past?

    I kind of doubt that’s legit ... I mean, they replaced the screening with one of House of Flying Daggers, which is another Sony owned property.  If Sony was worried about piracy on Hustle why would they replace the screening with another of their highly anticipated films?
