I'm happy to say that there is a new feature-length movie that I have produced by my own Red Carpet Walkin' Co. entitled the Fortune Cookie Teller. It is part of the Alexander Anonymous canon, which is really just a nom de plume for yours truly, I'll admit.
It's not claiming to be a conventional movie by any means, so I highly suspect it's not for just anyone- that brings to my recollection Herman Hesse's Steppenwolf-
"..So that's it, thought I. They've disfigured this good old wall with an electric sign. Meanwhile I deciphered one or two of the letters as they appeared again for an instant; but they were hard to read even by guess work, for they came with very irregular spaces between them and very faintly, and then abruptly vanished. Whoever hoped for any result from a display like that was not very smart. He was a Steppenwolf, poor fellow. Why have his letters playing on this old wall in the darkest alley of the Old Town on a wet night with not a soul passing by, and why were they so fleeting, so fitful and illegible? But wait, at last I succeeded in catching several words on end. They were:
In other news, I saw the absurd story of McDonald's and Rick and Morty and the super limited edition Szechuan dipping sauce. Anyone else see that? The obsessed cartoon fans crowded McDonald's around America and threw a fit when Micky D's ran out of the sauce to the point where police were called. Szechuan is the Cantonese spelling of Sichuan, which is the province where I spend time at in China. There's plenty of McDonald's here. I wonder if they have any of that sauce?
I made several teasers and trailers for the movie last week, and I'll post them eventually, but right here is the first little sneak peak:

MAGIC THEATER ENTRANCE NOT FOR EVERYBODYI tried to open the door, but the heavy old latch would not stir. The display too was over. It had suddenly ceased, sadly convinced of its uselessness. I took a few steps back, landing deep into the mud, but no more letters came. The display was over. For a long time I stood waiting in the mud, but in vain. Then, when I had given up and gone back to the alley, a few colored letters were dropped here and there, reflected on the asphalt in front of me. I read:
FOR MADMEN ONLY!"Hopefully, my movie is something more than just madmen can enjoy, or if not, hopefully it's the good kind of madmen. It looks like there will be a few test screenings soon, in the city of Mianyang, where it was mostly filmed. It is still going through some of the editing process and little bits are still being filmed, but a rough cut should be done by the end of the month.
