Just a quick note before I jump back into painting -- I forgot to include two films in my recommendations yesterday.....Iron Monkey (lots of good kung fu, too. I am a sucker for good martial art stuff. Chick flicks? Nah. Give me kung fu and katana swords!) and Curse of the Golden Flower (an outrageously lavish production in terms of set design and costumes).
"I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well." ~ Emo Philips
