I can't wait to see this, actually. Always been a sucker for Asian(ish) cinema. I'm not particularly surprised the Japs had a problem with the Chinese actors, but I don't really mind.

Still, if I had a billion of the Commie buggers living not too far away I suppose I'd be paranoid about them hijacking my culture too.

It didn't seem to get all that great reviews elsewhere, but that's probably more because it's not what you'd call mainstream (bollocks) cinema.

I'm definitely reserving judgement til I see it myself with this one.

Good one LC, welcome to this small band of brothers. Of course you now have to write completely oddball posts, become an alchoholic and disappear for three months of the year.

Small band of brothers - I know I said I drove a taxi and my name was Barbara but I'm still waiting for the final op'! Alcoholic, I must try harder and disappearing for three months will practise a bit at a time in case I get lost (geography not being my top subject). Thanks for the encouragement tho'

Vomiting so hard you shit yourself is still frowned upon, however.

Though you're still free to laugh so hard you piss yourself...

But not whilst sitting in my chair - use Petes' - it has a hole in it for just such a purpose.

I thought that was for checking for female impostors, like the Pope's chair?
