'His first movie, a HK$10 million (US$2 million) Hong Kong period comedy called ''Where is Mama's Boy?'', was released in January 2005. Hung played a good-natured village kid who sells Chinese pancakes to pay his mother's medical bills and gets discovered as a singer and helps a woman protect her business from a…

For me the most exciting part about this is that it'll be directed by David Wain.

Fun fact: this was produced by the Dust Brothers, the same people behind Paul's Boutique and Odelay.

Loved the MTV book. As someone born after the 80's it gives a great sense of the MTV I never had. Definitely should be read with youtube open.

Stephen Chow is better than no Stephen Chow. I found the good in "Journey to the West" to outweigh the bad. Looking forward to this.

I think it could be a different approach to making blockbusters—piecemeal as opposed to broad. I watched a generic Chinese blockbuster (can't remember the name unfortunately) where the scenes alternated between war movie and love story, but with dramatically different tones. Like if "From Dusk till Down" was split by…

I dunno, by far and away my favorite celebrity cameo from the first one is Garry Shandling.

I dunno, it's not what people usually get but my friends and I would get it sometime. Check out Pequod's, it's really good.

I used to work right next to this place, it's delicious and cheap and it was tempting to go every day, but I would've gotten a heart attack after about a week.

Actually, internet is so expensive here that I and many of my friends choose not to get it at home. Cheapest plan here is $60/month for 10mbps, capped at 40gb.

Hey I asked for this article! Thanks!

It's not just Native Alaskans who want the name change, everyone here calls it Denali and is happy that it's finally official.

If anything, "First Day of Camp" proves that David Wain should do more TV (see also: Stella).

Haven't watched this show in years, but that first paragraph makes it feel like the end of an era. Would love a write up on those early Adult Swim shows and how the network ended up so successful.

I absolutely love the Dirty Projectors, but never gave anybody credit besides Dave Longstreth. But with all these references to Can I'm gonna have to check this out.
