hey egg rolls! we have those in Hong Kong. they're a bit too sweet for me.

make that a very healthy interest in a younger Tim Curry.

exactly what i was saying.

couldn't they have remade Legend instead? which role will be harder to fill? Tim Curry's Lord of Darkness or David Bowie's Goblin King+Michael Moschen's arm.

if they throw enough money at Tom Hiddleston he'll probably do it and well, at least the production will have Tom Hiddleston………………….

Flaesh Flaesh Hundred Yard Daesh!

all because Audio Science and Moon Unit are taken… dammit!

likely exaggerated as most things in history are until proven, unlikely false unless there's any evidence of that at all. no one's talking about original language here, and Middle Chinese's regulatory body did depend on the capitols of the day, which was Nanjing(Ming) and Hangzhou(South Song), as well as previous…

Middle Chinese or Middle Mandarin? Middle Chinese is from pre-Mongol northward move of the capitol to Yanjing(Beijing), and sounds closer to modern day Yue, Hakka, Wu or Min dialects of the south. Middle Mandarin(Beijing guanhua) is the Yuan-early Ming derivative that moved closer to Northerner dialects of the time,…

ok Drax.

it's a lot of both. the early Qing rulers and royal officials were fairly quick to adopt Han practices, language, culture, but they also injected a lot of Manchuria influences into the royal court and subsequently changed a lot of the northerner dialect, including simplifying the imperial dialect into 4 tones and…

ROFL! it's so weird because once you cross into Suzhou and into Wuxi and Changzhou, the sounds are so much softer and relaxed, but definitely, Hangzhou and Shanghai, these 2 natural enemies, have the least appealing gossip squawks and bleets in the Jiangnan region. but then dama everywhere in China are pretty…

I don't even care, wolf

you're absolutely right. the current form of "official" Mandarin is derived from Manchurians incapability of speaking the old Beijing accent and added a lot of Manchurian words into the mix during their rule. some of the older Beijing folks will tell you there's a difference between the official tongue and their own…

Lake Titicaca, where the root Titi is derived from Tagalog and Caca from Spanish influence.

speaking of German supermodels… Tatjana Patitz, i remember owning one too many issues of Vogue with her in it.

Brigitte Nielsen. young people who don't know her she played Red Sonja and Karla Fry from Beverly Hills Cop 2. she's a live action superhero and the embodiment of the word statuesque.

I don't get history. If i wanted to know what happened in Europe a long time ago I'd watch Game of Thrones.

the people who made the video probably helped him display it in a wall, i doubt he has this in a semipermanent way that prevents him from getting into his kitchen.

considering all the retro songs with uber-obvious lyrics/titles like Justice League's Come Together, or all the songs on Suicide Squad, i'd say there's a 99% chance the theme song to this movie will be A-ha's Touchy, with a side of Rocky Horror's Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me, remixed with a house beat and few additional…
