uh yeah i agree with you on that. but in terms of outrage as a productive response, i’m not sure being outraged at walhberg is particularly productive. better to just dismiss him, right? i don’t think he’s a risk to anyone else at this point, having “reformed” according to our society’s measure of such things.

for a videogame, the instruction to “press” seems deeply ambiguous. “press” what? the button?

the difference here is choice - children raised in environments full of racism, drugs and violence *can’t* avoid those elements. it’s literally all they know. walhberg may be a piece of shit, but he did his time, and appears to have modestly reformed. unlike polanski, who for all we know may still be a sex pest in…

TMI

living in 2017 is a pre-existing injury.

on the scale of bad things divided by time, “just raped a kid last year” is much worse than “assaulted a guy decades ago and did prison time for it” - and i say that as someone who thinks mark walhberg is a piece of shit and usually a terrible actor.

terrible choice. children are temporary - yu-gi-oh is forever.

it definitely impresses as a world. honestly i would prefer to just be able to explore it at my own pace. the action mechanics are just a nag.

WHITE ON WHITE CRIME!

the constant nannying of the camera controls was too much for me. but your mileage may vary. give it a shot for an hour or so and you’ll know if it’s right for you.

i thought i was going to really love this game, but it was kind of insufferable. i ended up dropping it after two hours and refunding it.

i never learned about them in the USA - only when i moved to Canada.

here in ontario, i’ve only seen the red poppies -for sale, right now, at Tim Horton’s! - not the white poppies for peace. perhaps i’ve overlooked them, but it doesn’t appear to be a trend that’s competitive with the red poppies.

it was a history film - the point of the story was that history constantly interferes with our intentions -whether those intentions are noble, criminal, depraved, etc. the film had a cold dose of reality to off-set its romanticism. it was deliberately examining pre-post-war china — the “horizontal/vertical”…

i’d rather have a President’s bush in the White House right now.

i found my international, non-pirated copy on yesasia several months before the USA version was released in theatres.

maybe they have a lot of babies?

you can find the international blu-ray online quite easily.

he’s an interesting character - and his character plays out with subtle differences depending on which cut of the film you see. i believe his character is used to illustrate one of the many paths that martial artists were forced to take when they tried to give up their old lives - he became a barber, and then a…

Man of Tai Chi had some regrettably staged action, unfortunately. So many of the hits looked fake to me. I wish I could love it more from the perspective of an action film fan. I did like the very “Hong Kong” style story though. Karen Mok is always welcome.
