  1. Why should I watch this? It's just a couple of Asian guys yammering for 80 minutes. No stars. No breathtaking scenery. It's even in black & white, for Pete's sake! But using the rudiments of filmmaking technology, ace director Wayne Wang bursts the myth of San Francisco's Chinatown as a mysterious, unknowable "foreign" territory. This is a story of American characters dealing with dilemmas specific to the Asian community. Its insider's look at Asian American culture remains a breakthrough for Asian American fictional cinema. Yes, it's a mystery, but don't expect Charlie Chan. He's missing, too.

    Ho hum, some people NEVER learn.

  2. It's good, although I could have done without some of the gore .. like seeing the creature pop out of John Hurt's stomach. I think Aliens was better, and really established Ripley as a toughie.

    "Get away from her, you b****!"

  3. Yes, Carradine was in a ton of movies. I expect we'll see a complete list of his films any minute now.

     

    I saw the English actor Clive Revill. I was having a soda in a restaurant near the Schubert Theater in New Haven, and he walked in to order something ... I had seen him in "My Fair Lady" earlier that night at the theater.

  4. YOU ALSO COPY PEOPLE SO YOU'RE ALSO A TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Hardly. I copy people's responses so they know what I am replying to, as do most people on these boards. That is known as etiquette. I do not copy and paste from websites and pass it off as my own work. That is simply dishonest.
