DON'T DO IT.

So I went and watched "The Forbidden Kingdom," featuring Jet Li and Jackie Chan.
And I really can't just sum it up in one sentence because it'll be way too long.

...You can't sum anything up in one sentence!

When I saw the trailer I was all "Holy shit Jet Li!!!11!" and then I saw the white guy and the reaction changed to "....aw fuck." At least if it was Sam it would be a funnier movie because he'd be going Bob Saget on ancient China and would be saying highly inappropriate things to Sparrow.

Yeah, apparently they do the whole language thing in every culture. I was watching an episode of Neuro and the girl went to ARGENTINA, where she and one other woman were THE ONLY JAPANESE SPEAKERS and every SOUTH AMERICAN spoke JAPANESE. At least in Samurai Champloo the British guys actually spoke English [but then again...higher wuality?]

But still, why couldn't they put Jet Li in a good movie? ;_;

History quiz cards? Ouch. I'm happy Robert doesn't force those on us. But SHIIIIIIIIT I didn't do my Chem lab and two timelines. I'll prbably be up at five tomorrow too. I'll call you and say good morning Shinji, wake the fuck up.

Most of the time, yeah. One sentence isn't enough for most things because there's always the need to elaborate on how excellent or crappy a movie/book/clothing item/etc. is.

When I saw the trailer I think I wanted to see it at the moment. Jet Li and Jackie Chan in one movie? Awesome. I never saw any other trailers so I didn't know about the white kid until I watched the movie. That's when I face-palmed myself.

And if it was Sam it'd be much more acceptable, not because of the jokes he'd crack but the fact that he at least knows one or two words in Mandarin and how to defend himself. The kid? When faced with a crowd of soldiers, he swung the staff like crazy and ended up smacking Jackie in the head with it so Jackie basically just threw him around during the whole teahouse fight scene.

They're the quiz cards for the Midterm and I have 93 to do by tomorrow, sixth period. Which is a good thing because it's last period but a bad thing because I DIDN'T WAKE UP THIS MORNING. AARGH. FORGET GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT. ;-;

We're both fucked.

Oh yeah, I've heard Sam say things that seemed...correct? But from what you're saying, White Kid = Dino with a staff. Teahouse? gajdhgkjhgskdg TEAHOUSES ARE IN CHINA BUT ARE INNACURATELY DEPICTED DX. Did you even go to LA if you didn't wake up? LA is not something to miss -_-. I thought Jewel was going to be up to date with the Chemistry homework...but she wasn't there on Friday so now I have nooooooo idea who to call. Maybe Amanda, but she never does her work. I might ask her for Tyler's number [ooh, how bold]. Oh, apparently Kent had weed and a knife in his backpack. That explains why it was an expulsion. David, his bromance, is especially sad and we...mourned him in SAT class today. I have ONE MORE TIMELINE left to do...so happy!!!

..speaking of Dino, that dumbass, WHY DO I NOT HAVE BOOK 7 YET?!?!?! WHERE THE FUCK DID ALL MY MONEY GO?!?!

At least the scenary was gorgeous? That's pretty much all I liked about the movie besides the fight between Jet Li and Jackie Chan. XD

Actually, I liked the way the brothel looked, I thought it was really pretty, excepts for all the prostitutes and the old men in their cubicles. lol the mini-pond with the lilies was gorgeous~~ and so was the bamboo forest~and the waterfall~~ I could give a rat's ass about the white guy though XD I don't even know his name rofl

[soghunx]

The scenery was gorgeous. I liked the part where Jackie and Jet were fighting over what style to teach the kid and they end up beating him up in the process.

I liked the pond with the lilies. I didn't mind the prostitutes that much as the old men (something about old men... gew). It's just that I'm used to something like the Peony Pavilion from House of Flying Daggers, a bit less bright though. It just seemed a bit too Americanized to seem plausible. THE WHITE GUY SHOULD'VE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE MOVIE. Dx He did virtually NOTHING.

[chibikakei]

Yeah that was fun~ omg I just remembered that one scene where Jackie was trying to call the rain and Jet Li was~~~ rofl XDD it was gross but hilarious. if it weren't for them I think the movie would've sucked really badly, despite the gorgeous scenary.

well, I didn't mind th prostitutes either, it was the old men. probably because they look fugly and out of place full of pretty things? lol. no wait, but he gets his ass owned repeatedly! ^___^b

[soghunx]

Oh my god. I remember that scene. XDDD I thought it did rain for a second but then I was like, where's the ominous roll of thunder and shadow? And then it goes to Jet Li, doing his business. I feel sorry for Jackie. And I agree, if it weren't for them, the movie would've sucked. Unless White Witch decided to get her priorities in order and overthrow the Jade Warlord.

Yeah. Old men are fugly, stinky, and wrinkly. xP I loved that fight scene in the teahouse where Jackie just basically throws the kid around like he's an inanimate object or something. XDDDD
