Fuck I had something very clever and Ironic I wrote for this but lost it. Will finish later. I will tell you this. If you know ANYTHING about the Diet butcher the guy is responsible for the best thread ever over at EY.com.
SO.............. I am hoping that by bumping this like EY does when it is slow(which is becoming the norm) because that all the good posters have jumped ship maybe we can capture some of that magic.
ASDF!!!!
What was the last movie you saw?
Full review to follow.
Hong Kong flicks were consistently better than Hollywood flicks not so long ago.
What do you think happened DB?
Some for you to check out that are amazing:
God of Gamblers
Fist of Legend
Anything with Stephen Chow
Almost anything with Andy Lau
Hong Kong film up to a decade and a half ago was on par with or way better than what Hollywood was putting out.
I guess it got shut down because of that.
The last thing that was really awesome from HK cinema was Infernal Affairs (Andy Lau), imo.
It was all downhill from there.

I still have not see this one that I believe was a Hong Kong flick. Basically it was the inspiration/plot for the Hollywood remake and critically acclaimed "The Departed"
Many people have said it's way better than the departed.

I have seen that movie (dubbed with subtitles old school rules) maybe 25 times.
IT IS AWESOME!
The fight scenes in that movie are some of the best ever captured on film. Ever!
And I really liked the old Japanese Sensai! He cut a falling leaf in half!
I actually haven't seen Fist of Legend...........
*ducks for fear of projectiles thrown, relieved when he sees none, remembers The Van B Boys "never bother their own kind"*
Review and conversation coming for this if anyone is interested. Saw it before but it had been quite a few years. Michael Mann is hit and miss but I enjoy his slow burning dramas. I love the atmospheric tones and moods he creates in Movies like Heat/collateral/Miami Vice and his interpretation and vision of Los Angeles he creates.

If you haven't seen Fist of Legend (Jingwun Mun) yet, you have something to look forward to. Lucky bastard.
Have you ever seen 'River's Edge'? -Dennis Hopper (check's in the mail!), Crispin Glover, and Keanu Reeves. Amazing film.
Go get your nunchucks and your dad's car! I know where we can get a gun!
Movies used to be awesome. Now it's all superhero sequels and reboots and CGI and 3D and 48 FPS and shit.

I'm with ya 100%.
seems, imo, that fight scenes took a turn for the worse after 'crouching tiger, hidden dragon'.
after that, wire work & cables were the new fad. & quick, choppy cameras. made for some RIDICULOUS fight scenes.
And I really liked the old Japanese Sensai! He cut a falling leaf in half!
get on this anti^^. I could prob piece it together for ya here, but it's much better watching straight through.
25 TIMES.
like winnson said.
seriously.
(but only for research purposes) ;)
