yenchin: Recently I was watching Archive 81, there was this scene where a character in a videofeed who suddenly extended her arm out of the screen to choke the guy watching it. It made me wondering: What would happen if the guy was trained in martial arts?

yenchin: A similar thought caught me when I was watching "Kingdom" which was about hordes of zombies in historical Korea. How would Guo Jing & Co. fare against a zombie horde instead of Mongolians? To add the fun, zombie Greats retaining their martial arts!

ethanrob: "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is really a classic. I like not only its manga but also the TV adaptation.

chefying: It is almost midnight where I am, and it is the 8th day of Chinese New Year. I hear fireworks everywhere, because people (especially those of FuJian descend) are celebrating the 9th day of CNY, a.k.a. Festival of the Jade Emperor.

Admin: atumiwa : recently there's a lot of xianxia drama on TV. the one with Luo Yunxi, Xiao Zhan. Both of them are quite popular. TBH that's not my cup of tea. I don't see anything good/interesting from the filmes.
