Just be honest, Shen.

You like watching cute girls in short skirts dance.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. :wink:

I watched the series premiere episode of this and thought that it was terrible. A PG teenybopper X-Files with wooden himbos.

yeah, eva, but the premiere doesnt show much of anything really... its not the best tv show out there, but its better than most of the crap that they show. as its gone on its gotten better.

but then i didnt see the premiere first lol, i saw like episode 4 or 5 first, then went back and got the other eps to watch. so maybe thats why i like it

There are plenty of fantastic shows around. I suggest that you try US Cable TV-produced shows, some of the best Television ever made.

Off the top of my head:- The Shield, The Wire, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The L Word, Carnivale, Huff, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Deadwood.

The L word sucks, Nip/Tuck sucks, The Sopranos sucks and the previews i see of Resuce me makes it look shite. i dont have much time for the crap they show on tv. i rarely even watch TV anymore, i couldnt get into Lost, i havent seen 24 becuase it hasnt interested me in the slightest. i mean they'd be cool half of them, if they did relate to sex ever few mintues...Rescue me, the previews its like wtf, its about firemen yet hes sleeping with like 6 girls, yeah that looks sooooo different.

thats what i like about Supernatural, theres not much sex relation, its just a simple show that does as it says, and doesnt go off on a tangent with all the sexual relationships that are often totally unnecessary.

i think theres like 2 or 3 tv shows i actually watch, Charmed, Supernatural, Simpsons...maybe a few more, but tv is so boring latley.

I like Thomas the Tank Engine.

No sexual relations in that.

Unless you count trains going into tunnels as a metaphor.

lol, relationships are fine, but in many programs they are just not necessary, and are way too predominant.

Letters from Iwo Jima - 4.5/5
Whoa! This didn't get a wide release over here. Guess why? Because they didn't create a German dub. Can you imagine that it only plays in two theatres in the whole city. One screens it at 8pm and the other one at 9pm. Today I had to leave my TKD lesson earlier so I would make it to the film.

Great movie, though. So much better than "Flags" in my opinion.

Hapkido - 2 / 5
This movie really didn't do it for me, I do like Old skool movies, but this one really was boring. The lead actress Angela Mao was a bit poor in my opinion, however Carter Wong and Sammo was great to see. Quite cool to see Jackie as an extra, as well as Lam Ching-Ying

I didn't spot Jackie in it, great to see Sammo in it.
I really enjoyed Hapkido, but thought the ending was a bit abrupt and not like "Fist"

Why doesn't Angela Mao pay for her crimes like Bruce does? With Whang In Sik, she's beaten the crap out of the Japanese school and killed all the students. I thought in the 70's, if the hero commits a crime they have to die

Mark, most movies that make it into the theatres in Europe are English language films, so I have no doubt that most people in England will watch them undubbed. :wink:

its quite easy to understand, what hes saying is, the majority of films that are shown in european cinemas are in english...not all people in these countries speak english, so they dub them...whilst here we will watch them undubbed becaused well we can all speak english ...(usually)

not hard now is it?

:mrgreen:

as for foreign films here alot of cinemas still show them dubbed too i would guess...

hey,

As highlighted in Jackie Chan My Story, he does stunts but one of the more clear shots is of Jackie to the left (screen left) in a doorframe as Angela enters the Japanese dojo at some point before the finale.
