I recall having heard this song periodically on the Sunday evening New Age program on my local National Public Radio station in the late 90’s-early 2000’s; the original version was punctuated with croaking frogs.

I remember the plot of this film pretty well, but I don't remember the title at all and I'm not sure how to search for it. It was a Chinese film which I rented, I think some time in the 90s?

Can someone please tell me the title of this song and who sings it?  Somehow it's sitting there anonymously on my hard-drive...mocking me.  The lyrics go something like this ( Read more... )

This Chinese (well, Hong Kong, more accurately, I think) movie has been seared in my memory, but I have no idea which movie it is.

This is a wuxia movie. I don't remember much of the plot of the story, except that the first time(?) the hero shows up he is drinking strong alcohol from a bottle and drops a scorpion into the bottle to make the ( Read more... )

I just watched (500) Days of Summer, and I laughed so hard a few times, but I can't for the life of me remember the lines/funny parts. So help me out! Aside from the Ikea and "Darling, I don't know how to tell you this but there's a Chinese family in our bathroom," what are funny parts in the movie?

Thank you!
