I was checking out some other information about John Cho's latest film Afraid, and thought that I wanted to post a little bit of this from 2020 instead and then link out to it.
"It might be a small moment, like a salesperson greeting you with “konnichiwa.” Or it might be a string of moments, like the press tour that Kal Penn and I took to promote “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” in 2004, a few years after 9/11 [...] Asian Americans are experiencing such a moment right now. The pandemic is reminding us that our belonging is conditional. One moment we are Americans, the next we are all foreigners, who “brought” the virus here."
There's a piece of me that thinks about Selfie and how it was ahead of its time. That now, this would work. People wouldn't necessarily see it as AM/WF--I mean we would, but not in that way--and I could be dreaming, but I think in another world, it just works.
They had great chemistry--Cho and Gillan.
And yes, I do want to see Asian on Asian love.
But still, this shouldn't have been denied.
We should have had more episodes.
