Bash me, go for it, but I can\'t watch a subtitled film. I have a limited attenion span and cannot be asked to read and watch all at the same time. I\'ll just take a terrible dubbing instead.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Oh I\'m not taking it the wrong way.  True, to the "average viewer" there isn\'t much difference, but I think that if someone were to take interest in a certain film industry they should start developing a good habit of understanding that there is a difference early(despite how light or hardcore the following of that industry is).

Example: For a long time I have taken an interest in learning about the English royal familiy and how key players affected the world around them.  Now I\'ve started to take an interest in the Danish royal family.  To the average viewer, a royal family of Europe is like any royal family in Europe.  That might be true on the surface, but there are so many things that make them different.  (Did I make any sense at all?)

Shenmue 2 must have been hard for you.

Not made it through, yet. :(
I refuse to! Until I know that Shenmue 3 is comin\' out, I won\'t torture myself with wanting another one, by finishing the second one.

But yes, very hard for me.

I just bought 12 new movies...

Well, actually old movies but new condition...

I\'ve gone through 3 of them:

The Prodigal Son starring Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, Lam Ching Ying, and Dick Wei

You\'ll find these 4 or any combination of them in a lot of movies, together. They also star together in My Lucky Stars and Eastern Condors, both great action movies.

This movie is about a rich, young martial artist who has built a reputation as the greatest fighter in his town but only because his father has paid off all would-be challengers to purposely lose. It\'s until he is taught a lesson by an opera performer/martial arts master that he realizes his low level of skill.

Great action and choreography.

Knockabout starring Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung

2 brothers have made their living through conning others until they meet their match against an old master. Using their lack of fighting skill in an attempt to teach him a lesson, they are easily defeated and become his students.

Great choreography and some good humor.

Yes, Madam starring Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock, Sammo Hung, and Dick Wei

Michelle Yeoh\'s first HK movie as a cop tracking the murder of her friend. Also, searching for a piece of microfilm, which contains evidence against the killer\'s boss.

Incredible action sequences from both leading ladies and the humor just adds to the enjoyment.

There was a festival in preparation for New Years last week and saw the prices for VCD\'s.  It turns out it\'s 7 VCD\'s for $20 at some stalls and some are selling them for $10.  =)  We\'re not as expense as I had thought.  =P
