Today I slept through most of the day, as I hadn't slept really that much in the past few days, and I needed a bit of rest. Besides, inside it's really hot (while outside it's always windy), so it's easier to fall asleep. I watched Reservoir Dogs again (I know, I'm slowly crossing the line towards addiction), and A Better Tomorrow. It was really good, and really depressing. It's so interesting to see how a different culture handles a genre I've watched since when I was 6 (USA action movies like Lethal Weapon, and so on). The first thing I noticed, they do love hurting their characters. Jeez, if you think about all the things that happen to Chow Yun Fat in this movie, it's unbelievable. Sadly the italian dubbing was poorly done (which is really weird, as usually italian dubbing is top quality), so sometimes you could see the actors talking, and hear no sound, or hear them talking with their mouths shut... which was pretty amusing, actually. XD
I love seeing cult movies not only because they're good, but also because it's funny to see how most of the movies I've seen pay homage to these movies. C'mon, Mark lighting his cigarette with a (fake) 100 dollars bill! *____* And the final scene at the harbour? Classic! Now I still have to see A Better Tomorrow 2 and Infernal Affairs, the latter I downloaded just because it has Tony Leung in it, as I don't know anything about the story. But I need some comedy too, I'm only watching depressing movies! Where's my weekly dose of Host Club? :'(

Me too, me too! *__________* I fell in love with him back with In the Mood for Love, and then everytime I watch Hero I can't help but squee everytime he's on screen. XD
