Who here is a fan of Bey Logan?

I'm a fan. Bey goes to great length researching for each commentary (as proven by how the improved nature from his first commentaries) so he has lots of interesting stuff to say, he equally has an interesting tone to his voice so I don't doze off during them.

To many commentaries to mention have commentators who drone on and put you to sleep. It's a moot point that they may have something interesting to say if it's boring as hell.

He also always comes across as a nice guy and down to earth too.

Yi Long has multiple personality disorder (but he doesn't know it).

Bey does great commentaries, and I've always liked his asian film journalistic output since the days of Impact. Other stuff like selling out to miramax, I will wait and see, since there haven't been enough dvd releases yet to judge. Alas, his acting, screenwriting sucks, and he has delusions of (film-making) grandeur.

hey,

only one who has ever turned Logan's written dialogue to gold is Francis Ng in Gen-X Cops!

Isn't gold over the top?

Does it matter? It's not like most people pay much attention, it's more of a side line. Fair play to him for trying at least.

hey,

oh yes but Ng is absolutely wonderful in that scene, spewing out heavily accented English obscenities like crazy. Especially his little "I had a dream last night..."- rant.

Relax, I wasn't passing judgement (sorry if that's how I came across) but merely stating the obvious, seeing as Yi Long is so convinced (well "99.9%" convinced) that he didn't say that.

He said it. He just doesn't remember it.

Wouldn't there be a "last edited by ******** " at the bottom of his post ?

Not always. It seems to add that when the engine feels like it. Boy that pisses me off.

It makes a post look a mess.

I had a feeling you meant that. As it would be very uncharacteristic of you.

I guess we'll never know whether Yi wrote it or not.
My theory is:
"He thought it, so he wrote it without realizing it."

Dissociative Identity Disorder (aka Multiple Personality Disorder) and Schizophrenia are two totally separate conditions. Please don't confuse the two again.

How dear you speak out against Political Correctness!

I was just taking the piss (as usual), Bruce.

You'd think that you lot being Brits would be able to pick up subtle humour, considering that you invented it; obviously not as time and time you haven't. In future I'm still going to avoid using smilies, the internet's equivalent of canned laughter tracks.

Ow, I'm sure he's a nice guy in person, as I've heard from many who have met him already... so I dont have a problem with his personality or whatever...

I just disagree with him regarding certain points concerning asian cinema, like that he thinks it's OK to cut movies, or to cast popstars just so you have a nice first opening in HK, instead of thinking about the quality of the movie itself, etc etc.

It seemed to me the american asian guy got selected cause he was a 'hip' and english speaking guy, but martial arts wise he didnt look all that impressive to me...

I liked the girl who was auditioning. She was nice looking yet very very talented at martial arts. But maybe she doesnt get many parts cause a; martial arts arent all that 'hip' nowadays in HK, and b: she's a mainland chinese, who normally arent all that popular among cantonese... (bumpkins)

yeah i know who you mean, but for the life of me i can't remember her name.

I remember originally for the end of the doc that as the credits roll
bey sings on karaoke 'kung fu fighting' as this girl performs all the martial arts to camera. jesus christ she was fantastic, i remember there were two takes done, it was amazing watching her just switch it on, there was alot of kicks, but mainly puches to camera, i only seem to have taken photo's of bey doing his karoke

it was filmed at 50's nightclub in HK, a cool but expensive bar in LKF. there wasn't anyone else from the audition section there though, except jessie gooding who i was hanging around with. but he he was nusing an injury to his leg.
so i presume bey specifically asked for her for the end

unfortunantly they were expecting more at the club, instead it was just crew, so alas it seems they didn't use this footage for the end which is a real shame, they just went with credits and bey singing over it

so it seems the footage (with a blink and you miss me cameo from the boy blaize) seems relegated to the cutting room floor

doh, its gonna bug me till i remember here name, im sure i heard she got work in hollywood, she might have worked on ultraviolet.
