  1. Poops... the Detective Dee trailer is stalling on me. Looks like a different one from the one you posted a few days ago.

    Against my better judgment, I'm getting pretty excited about this. Don't disappoint me, Tsui Hark!

  2. I can rarely play any videos myself, even YouTube stalls on me. (I'm using mobile broadband.) That's one reason why I rarely post trailer links, but I figured readers will have better luck than me. Mainland links are probably going to be dicey in any event.

    Yeah, I'm falling for this one, too.

  3. It stalled on my too this morning.

    Every video on Crienglish does that to me.

    Who are these idiots giving the Karate Kid remake that high of a rating? Who cares about Jaden or Jackie and a "karate" movie set in China? I just don't get it and I feel like an old, old man.

    The original was corny but there was the essence of zen in Mr. Miyagi's lesson and I'm only half kidding when I say that.

  4. Glad to know it's not just me with the video problems then.

    Well, my mom and nephew are looking forward to the New Karate/Kungfu Kid. She liked the Spy Next Door, too. I'm sure she's never seen the Mr Miyagi Edition, not sure I ever did either, to tell the truth. I'm surprised about my nephew, though.
