Sure you aren't talking about Henry Cho from Oak Ridge, TN? He's Korean.

It's the problem with the throwback style; the two-parter could have been trimmed down to 90 minutes easily, which in the old days would have been three episodes. It was repetitive and a bit indulgent. too much of a good thing.

I used to buy the Chinese DVDs back in the day before they really started distributing his stuff here, and a region free DVD or hacked DVD player was all I needed. I actually have two VHS screener copies of his work, not letting go of those (one of them is the original cut of AUDITION). I don't know if all those…

Perhaps you have to read more than a "few." The gonzo ending of DEAD OR ALIVE was not in the original script. he came up with it on set and went back to make changes. He made the actors on GOZU improvise a ton. The part where we see the American actress reading romaji from cue cards, also an on-set idea. There are…

He actually improvises dialogue and scene ideas quite a bit.

I'm the one who's ranting . . . bye felicia

Another person talking about something about which they do not know. And also arguing against things I haven't said. There's very little past the soap opera elements to grasp onto. They did one show, arguably two, that dealt with life outside their internecine dramas. You defend the show with your imagined events…

Thing is, the billboard for the movie reads the release as SUNDAY June 20th. June 20th is a Saturday.

I acknowledged that she *asked questions,* but she asked them in anger, cross examining her parents about the photos and past events. She was suspicious always, not curious after. You can believe that's mere curiousity if you want, but that's contradicts the argument you've been making.

But you can't make an argument that something exists without an example of it from the text. It has nothing to do with subtext. Even subtext offers evidence of its existence.

You have to assume/imagine/guess she's curious, and that's the problem. We don't know if her feelings of betrayal outweigh anything because we only see the hurt. The writers are showing us what they want us to see.

Paige and I are about the same age. So . . . nah. And you don't have to concoct elaborate spy fantasies to be curious about your parents having a second life.

Her alienation is de rigeur for a teenager. Hell, even for a little kid. I tried to hitchhike/walk home from 2nd grade when my mom 20 minutes late picking me up. And kids are very sensitive to their parents' feelings and thoughts. Having been in both situations now it's extremely clear to me how well kids pick up on…

LOL I lived that shit, son. I think you talk about what you do not know. The fascination with the new, with the possible would likely consume any "hate and fear" of the Soviets.

I've never bought into Paige's reaction to her parent's revelations. I realize they spent time making sure we know how pious she is, but she's still a kid. She isn't the least bit fascinated that her parents are actually Russian superspies? She reacts like a scorned wife. Teens can be a bit dramatic yet this seems a…

I forgot he hyphenated. You make a good point. However, I don't think he would think anyone is attempting to "pingeonhole" him.

"Drinking problem" is a colloquialism. Drinking to excess on occasion would not be considered a "problem."

Jesus out of all the things wrong with this episode, Eddie was barely the most egregious. I know his "'sup girl" stuff strikes you as off, but it's authentic to Eddie. It's just a shame that the show plays it for fake, I suppose they have the same weird feelings about non-Black people being absorbed in hip-hop culture…

Nope, sorry, the real Huang talks about wanting to rep Taiwanese-Americans, not Chinese-Americans.

That was Jeff Yang which you could confirm in the credits but he is on twitter and has acknowledged his appearance.
