Hey, John,

Good to hear from you. HK is great, film school isn’t. Are you still in Japan?

Hi, wizippo,

I’ve passed on a link to the Variety roundup, but I’ll post it with a box office report later.

Hi, eliza,

I can’t wait to see I Just Didn’t Do It, and I even want to watch Don’t Laugh At My Romance, despite it running 137 minutes long.

Hi, MW,

Totally agree, which is why I will be canceling the movie channels once the free 12 months run out.

$540HKD revenue for a movie? Wow, that’s so low. I feel bad for the people who paid to see it though.

I hate the fact that PAID cable television channels for movies are toned down significantly. I understand for some explicit edits for gore or raunchy sex, but profanity and some mild violence should be left in. Most of the times it alters the movie enough to affect its enjoyment. It’s PAID cable after all and there’s always parental lock too.

Matsuyama Kenichi has indeed a weird inexplicable appeal. Now I want to see Don’t Laugh at My Love

Good to see that I Just Didn’t Do It got some awards. Liked that film a lot.

Hey Kev, nice blog you have here. Glad that you’re keeping us readers up to date with Asian cinema news and box office reports. How’s HK? Sorry wasn’t able to contact you before you left the Bay. Hope you’re having a blast there.
