turn your monitor upside down

moose and squi-rell

set your keyboard to Spanish and type a plus sign

late '80s electro track by the Sleeze Boyz, with drum programming by Dre (plus Robocop and Kraftwerk samples)

Doesn't change your point, but Patrick Tam (the editor) claims they'd actually shot a whole subplot (or part of one) with Leung in the Kowloon Walled City, with Andy Lau as a gangster. Wong abandoned that plot, recast Lau as a cop, and dropped Leung. He intended to use the shot of Leung dressing as a promotional…

also everyone always forgets about "Robo Cop"

A better example of Wong's working methods is Happy Together, since there's actually an entire making-of feature that provides tons of footage from excised subplots (including a major character completely deleted from the final cut), and that the story he began shooting had almost nothing to do with the one he ended…

Faye Wong's done six movies since 1991, acting obviously isn't her thing. Wong is the only director she's worked with twice (three times if you count "Chinese Odyssey 2002," which he produced) so that oughta count for something.

campus police are beyond useless, he may as well have reported it to the mall cops

that is exactly what I would do if the sign were clearly ironic, yes

misplaced comment, I blame Disqus for not allowing replies below five levels

Some restaurants only have some foods, I found a restaurant that has a million of foods

pretty sure nobody actually fears Ayn Rand, they just think she's really fucking dumb

I just got alerts for replies made two weeks ago, what the hell

I'm amused that they bothered with Theseus at all, since his only resemblance to the mythological Theseus is a) a minor and gratuitous fight with a minotaur (not THE minotaur, since this one is just a soldier in Hyperion's army who visits the Labyrinth), b) his single mom (except in this version she was raped by some…

it's more like 20 minutes of entertainment in a two hour movie, hell the gods only actually fight anyone like, what, twice

yeah I was sort of surprised by the idea that Immortals doesn't really show Tarsem's "vision," hopefully next time he can go back to ripping off the stuff he really cares about

typical Hollywood opening Melancholia and Immortals on the same day, they're gonna totally split the lucrative John Hurt fanbase

now I'm deciding which comments to respond to
