Well, my new home beat out my old home…and where was I? Watching the martial arts classic Iron Monkey.
But first- what happened to the Hindu Gods? Well, they were stopped on the way there by Jehovah himself and his witnesses and a huge battle began in the heavens while Beelzebub sat below and enjoyed the game…and was about to sacrifice everyone in Pasadena until he was stopped by the Heavenly Priest, a pig and the Monkey King himself who were on their way to the West (coast)…hence leaving the game to it’s own devices…speaking of sports- the World Cup is this year- ENGALAND!
Cool thing about Longhorn fans though is that they don’t have the poseur-tude of Laker Pride…and the unlikely riot for a championship parade…
As for Iron Monkey- this is one of my fave HK movies…was watching it yesterday and intrigued by the characters speaking of a recent natural disaster, refugees and a plague, wonder if this is historical or just a throwaway point. Wong Kei Ying and Wong Fei Hong are both historical figures with the former being one of the Ten Tigers of Canton and the latter being a cult hero. Also was intrigued by the finale fight scene and how nowadays it’ll be all green-screen and CGI. No, back then it was all wires (that you notice but don’t mind because the action is moving so fast) and actors/stuntmen (yes- that’s Donnie Yen grabbing a burning log with his bare hands!)
Joblo.com has a thing on the top 10 Jennifers in showbiz at http://joblo.com/index.php?id=9816 …surprised that there are actually that many actresses with that name to have a list…I’ve always found Jennifer Love Hewitt to be just adorable and am amazed to find her at #3…
The Smashing Pumpkins’ Bullet with Butterfly Wings is now classified as a flashback song…where have the years gone? They’re playing the Proclaimers right now- anyone know what a heatherin’ is yet?
