"TWO FISTED MONKEY STYLE!!!"

[batskeets]

Last night, we watched Drunken Master. Yes, as in the original, not Legend Of. It was a little odd, at first, because the audio would randomly change back and forth between the Chinese dialogue and the (really corny) English dubbing, but the movie itself was really silly and a lot of fun. Jackie Chan has such a talent for being expressive and comical.

It also made me want to learn a drunken style form, because I'm a dork and I think about wushu all the time. ;p I'd had the thought before, because it does look like it'd be super-fun... and I don't think I have *ever* seen a chick compete with drunken style! For some reason, I'm always looking to break that barrier; if there's a type of form that I get really interested in, chances are it'll turn out to be one that's not frequently performed by women. ::laughs:: (see also: nanquan)

Anyhoo, I got a ton of sleep yesterday, so I'm feeling better today. Not perfect, but much improved! I also have Enter The Dragon at my disposal, so that'll likely be next. Bruce Lee FTW!

I think I'm racquetballing tonight, and then, I don't know what. Wee!

useless info: i believe jackie chan started his career as an actor in chinese theatre. i always asume that's why he's so expressive with his comical body language. :)

Awesomeness!
I love that movie.
It and Master of the Flying Guillotine are my two favs from when I was a wee lil' lad watching Kung Fu Theater.
