jewel on line at last

This is my personal weblog where I get to be as crabby as I want to be.

Plus, I have some theories about Martial Arts films. I get crabby about that subject, too. Just wait til I get going on that. How is it that Hollywood doesn't get these films? Oh, Asian leads. Problem for Hollywood? How come American versions of MA films suck so bad? What flaming idiot is in charge of editing Hong Kong martial arts films for the American audience, I'd like to know. As if we can't handle the entire movie? You want proof? Hah. Hitman vs. Contract Killer As an American, when I saw Hitman (after having seen Contract Killer) I wanted to sue somebody for accusing me of being a racist and an idiot. In Hitman, the Indian gentlemen does NOT speak in a sing-song sterotype voice. Oh, if it weren't so dang late, I'd keep going. But, CK cuts out crucial scenes PLUS it materially changes the dialogue. What the characters say in Hitman is not what they're saying in CK.
