Little Superstar

I’m not going to lie - this clip kinda makes me lose my appetite. I’m not sure why. There’s something Lovecraftian going on here that humans are not fully equipped to understand. That said, he’s kind of cute, ain’t he?

Speaking of Taro Aso, the International Manga Award was handed to Hong Kong manga-ka Lau Wan Kit today for his manga Feel 100% , which has been adapted into several feature films and a television series.

Hopefully my upcoming manga, Sluggo the Garbage-Eating Dwarf will earn me similar accolades when its’ published later this year…

Usually the Asian-Hollywood connection runs East-to-West, but Hong Kong director Benny Chan is going against the flow with a planned remake of the 2004 Kim Basinger film Cellular. While the original wasn’t all that great, I can see how it would serve as a template for a decent Hong Kong action flick. Chan has already assembled a Chinese cast that includes Louis Koo and Barbie Hsu.

Hong Kong director Benny Chan, who directed “New Police Story” and “Rob-B-Hood,” says “Connected” improves on “Cellular” by injecting Hong Kong-style action sequences.

“In my movie, I added many elements that Hong Kong action movies do best — human combat, action, flying cars,” Chan told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday.

The director said he doesn’t mind making a remake.

“What the world lacks most is good stories. If there’s a story that investors think will work in the market and that I like, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with remaking it,” Chan said.

I, on the other hand, post stories about people having sex with inanimate objects.

To summarize, a Hong Kong resident tried to have sex with a park bench. He inserted his penis into a hole in the bench but was unable to remove it once he became aroused. It took authorities 4 hours to cut him free.

And the kicker? They had to remove the bench from the park and take it to the hospital, with the man still, er…attached. How did they maneuver it into a van? Did they duct tape him to the bench so he didn’t fall when they lifted it? Inquiring minds want to know!

I feel slightly sorry for the guy, since he is described as ‘lonely and disturbed’…but seriously dude, you tried to get laid by a park bench.

Here it is – the film that launched the kung fu movie craze in the United States.  Before even the rise of Bruce Lee, King Boxer (Tian xia di yi quan, 1972), also known as Five Fingers of Death, was a surprise hit on the drive-in and grindhouse circuit. 

In June 2007, Dragon Dynasty released a superbly presented DVD as part of its growing Shaw Brothers collection.  The result is a classic example of chop socky history and an excellent kung fu flick in its own right.  Its relatively complex plot combines popular themes of honor, betrayal, revenge and the handing out of righteous beat-downs.
