Some of my favorite old shows — Not so pretty today.

Meteor Garden (Liu Xing Hua Yuan) is a stupid show. The guy is so NOT chivalrous. And he also did so many things that he could be charged in court for : attempted rape, assault, trespassing, mastermind of assault and harassment.
Are we fooling little girls into thinking he is the greatest lover ever? That this [...]

I wanted to watch this because I was a baby christian. Turns out this movie scared the hell out [...]

"HAIRSPRAY"! "ONCE"!

Liz came over last night to watch “Hairspray” with me.
I’m crazy about its soundtrack and another movie’s, “Once”, shown in Sundance Festival. “Once” ’s soundtrack is superb. Actually I think the movie is all about its music.
Hairspray was AMUSING-ly entertaining. Lol. Makes ya wanna groove too. It’s cute to learn how “cool” and “suave” [...]
