Enslaved: Still journeying after all these years.

syn·chro·nic·i·ty
ˌsiNGkrəˈnisitē/
noun
  1. 1.
    the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.
    "such synchronicity is quite staggering"

Occasionally, i'll get invited to events that don't really pertain to my beats. This just arrived. 

From Stephen Chow, Director of KUNG-FU HUSTLE

In Theaters, On Demand and On iTunes MARCH 7th
This is a world plagued by demons, who cause its human inhabitants unspeakable suffering. Young demon hunter Xuan Zang, fearlessly guided by his belief in “giving himself for the greater cause”, risks his all and conquers a water demon, a pig demon and the demon of all demons, Sun Wukong. He embraces them as his disciples, and melts them with love. Meanwhile, Xuan Zang discovers the true meaning of Greater Love himself. In order to atone for their own sins and save the common people, the four of them embark on a journey to the West that’s full of challenges…


Oddly enough, i wanted to read the original 16th century novel's translation after we finished Enslaved. I had also just been wondering last week what Stephen Chow has been up to since his IMDB page hasn't been updated in a while (and i was poking around for info on that sequel to Kung Fu Hustle that was rumored so long ago). Seems like a good fit for him and certainly has my interested piqued. Definitely gonna give this one a watch when it's available.
