Star Gazing at the Golden Horse

Of WuXias and Their JiangWu

I have not watched a thing on my tele or gadgets since Superbowl. 

I checked out an ep of Incarnation of Money out of my curiosity for the writer+PD team (and I take note of MrX’s mention this could be a promising potential drama for HBinnie, before KJH suddenly is back on).  It is…..Meh. Annoyingly mediocre.  So this team is just not my taste, I find their aesthetic soo dated and their storytelling a lot of piling on the cheese.  Then, I saw Robber on PD’s wiki, the drama that made me dump LDH and JH in the meh pile. A.R.G.H.

That is all.  And prior to the vacation I’m giving my electronics, I’ve rewatched a certain 130 min movie 4 times in a week.
