completing contemplation compilation of communications

I've no idea what the title means.

Just came back from watching DIE HARD 4.0. As far as action movies go it's pretty much the same - bad guys with big conspiracy plot to start the end of the world, a heroic figure who goes in with guns and super duper martial arts moves, and they all save the day by killing all the bad guys and just escaping with a few scratches. But I got a burning question!
















HOW THE HELL CAN THIS THING FLY LIKE A HELICOPTER UNDER THE HIGHWAY?????

Well that's really what happened in the story...

And another complaint... when Asian "stars" make it into Hollywood films, the main purpose is just to market the film to Asian audiences. Cue: Maggie Q (Die Hard), Chow Yun Fatt (Pirates). They are JUST THERE TO BE KILLED IN THE MOST UNGLAM WAY!

Chow Yun Fatt died of a super unglam cannonball shot. Maggie Q died by being crushed in a van that somehow went down a lift shaft. She died without saying even as much as 5 lines in the movie.

You can't blame the caucasians for being smart money-grabbers. We Asians do it too.

Ever watched those HK TVB serials where the ang moh guy is always that sharp-faced guy? And he always plays a cop. Stereotype eh. And those HK movies where the biggest baddies are ang-mohs and they get whooped by the chinamen.

Moral of the story: watch Bollywood or Kollywood. Even watch Indon films, whatever. At least no caucasians are involved, yes?
