Mark and Chen are right. It's a drama with some awful comedy and some action. I seem to remember it being pretty dark in places.

My point as you know was that you were hypocritically saying I was arguing about something I know nothing about when you do just the same. You were arguing about the development of a TV series (and still are) on a show you've not even watched.

Yeah but you keep sprouting nonsense in the face of incontestable evidence.

And Markgway's argument is not to do with the content of the show, so far as I can tell

In a nutshell: Panmedia (never license anything) are indeed the only ones who released 'Pedicab', but the point everyone is making, is to avoid supporting them, as they've jeopardized lots of releases (Media Blaster's legit plans to do Golden Harvest films) and you're also paying for poor quality releases (the media it's burned onto is shit too). If they did it without messing good companies about and make little/no profit, then I'd happily purchase it.

And no, I'm not fit brunette :(.

Hmm... If it's not as good as I remember I'll sell my tape.

But my comments on the nature of American TV don't require me to be an expert on LOST so it's hardly the same. What you were doing was arguing with people who know better than you and refusing to listen to reason. I only called you a tool out of frustration at not being able to get thru to you. There's no sin in being wrong but there is in stubborn ignorance.

If you say so Mark :roll:

Obviously the opinion of people who've actually watched the show so know how it started, how it's progressing and may have even done research comes next to your opinion.

As for Panmedia my opinion happens to differ. I realise this is hard for some to understand. Just like whenever I mention Drunken Master 2 is awful I am guaranteed to get an outcry.

Anyway we're going round in circles, frankly I don't give a shit.

Wow! You hate DM2 as well? What colour do you want the dress :D?

I wouldn't mind buying a film that hasn't been released on DVD, but supporting PanMedia in any way means other legit titles would go down the pan.

I don't see how watching the show makes any difference since my comments were never based on the show's specific content but rather the general nature of network television series renewal.
As for Panmedia my opinion happens to differ.
If you want to buy from Pan Media that's your right. No one is suggesting otherwise. But you are wrong about Pan Media not affecting the American market. They have and continue to do so. This isn't our opinion versus yours. It's fact. But you refuse to accept this for some reason.

Panmedia is now operating under a new label, Ying Yang. Wonder if the corpoate sharks started to circle

Didn't know that. There's a Yin Yang/Panmedia set of 4 Ti Lung movies.

Thanks. I tend not to pay too much attention to Old School Martial Arts except for Bruce Lee.

He wouldn't like Angela Mao films I don't think.

They're mostly cheap bashers.
