Webzines, blogs, boards, have recently been inundated with the “Asian girls and white guys” subject (even Marie-F’n-Claire contributed), but most have been big steaming piles of disappointment; unsubstantial and anemic without facts nor insight. Just a selection of angry or upset people wiping their asses on their keyboards and deeming it worthy because they possess a title, an opinion and an upload button.

But then I found this... and it made me smile.

John Hughs, Dead

To the man who brought us The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Long Duk Dong: thanks for the laughs, and go fuck yourself.

Wall Street Jiu-Jitsu

Watch as this big drunk fool gets his come-uppins when he picks on a little* Korean guy who happens to know Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The full story involves the drunk fool making remarks about Koreans (his wife apparently one), and our hero walking away with a nice cash settlement.

I love the doorman’s (in)actions and how the tennants walk by totally unconcerned. Somebody should get Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg to do play-by-play for this...

* smaller in comparison to his opponent; the brother is 5'6"/180lbs and was on a late night ice cream run

The Last Dragon

Variety says Bruce Lee’s family have just okayed a three-part biopic on their late brother, the first part scheduled to be released on what would’ve been his 70th birthday.

Apparently Bruce’s bro and sis have been extremely disappointed by the 36 years worth of Bruce Lee “biographies”, so they are looking forward to seeing a more accurate depiction of his life. Ain’t they ever seen Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story? SO REAL!

For those who are new to this blog (or to me), please take that last statement with a grain of this.

Obi-wan: “That boy is our last hope.”

Yoda: “No. There is another.”

Eastwood and the Slumdog

I recently saw both Danny Boyle’s Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire and Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino, and unfortunately neither lived up to their respective hypes.

In fact, I found it amazing that Slumdog won the big prize, but considering both the Academy’s temperament and the giant poop-shoot that was 2008 in film (ie., 10,000 BC, Righteous Kill, Valkyrie) I guess it makes sense. I do commend Mr. Eastwood’s attempt to spotlight the little known Hmong people and using them exclusively in his cast. But when the car delivers the best supporting performance, it ain’t good.

The Endurance to Persevere

Great article on the Korean Forrest Gump, Park Ji-sung, his influence on football, Korea, and on underdogs everywhere:

From the NYTimes:
The Endurance to Persevere
Park Ji-sung, Manchester United’s tireless South Korean midfielder, is expected to become the first Asian player to participate in the European Champions League final. Read

Match time is 2:45pm EST, Wednesday.

Speaking of Van Damme...

What made the biggest impressions were the prices at the cinema ($12.50 admission, $6 small popcorn, $4 bottled water, then followed by – I swear to God — pleas for charity donations). However, it had bright spots, ie. the casting of Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy and his eventual performance. But in the end, they were dimmed by such things as Eric Bana’s dimensionless dimension-traveler, and John Cho’s Kumarless Harold in space.

JJ Abrams claimed that this movie would change everything you knew about the Star Trek universe, and that “The Future Begins”, but speaking of Van Damme, checkout JCVD (on Netflix). It actually will change what you know about ol’ Jean-Claude. But before this newfound respect for him is born within, let’s take a journey back to put into perspective how incredible his recent accomplishment truly is...

Ever Heard of Photoshop?

Look! Up in the sky...
It’s a bird!
It’s a plane!

It’s... an asshead.

The Kowalski Addendumb

Whether this idiot Betty Brown is possibly a writer for 24 is debatable (see Kowalski), however her comment is truly moronic if not despicable (even for Texas). I mean really, how hard is Lee, Kim, Chen, or even Ko?...

but “Ramey” is kinda gay.
