Hong Kong's entertainment industry is largely over shadowed by China where cheaper and worse movies and series…
Yet in terms of queer cinema they have always been ahead of mainland China, even before the BL ban over there. And for the most part, in terms of art and commercial cinema too - except probably for the second half of 80s and the first half of 90s, when Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige had big time internationally.
It's cliche BL bullshit: Better to cruelly dump your lover and walk out than to actually discuss a situation and…
I agree it was a bad cliché or somewhat bad, but in Hong Kong gay couples can neither marry (overseas same-sex marriages have some limited recognition) nor adopt (individuals may be able to adopt, but not couples), and surrogate motherhood is not only illegal there but treated with immense contempt by the public. The Taiwanese LGBT show Papa & Daddy was lambasted by the mainland Chinese because the couple in it had a kid via surrogate motherhood.
Short, simple, playful, straightforward and cute. Full of heart and wispy charm. Also rather smoothly done and well-played by these cute lads. Mind Trio really has a talent for this sort of charmers. Calculating Love has similar vibes and qualities also.
Someday, somehow, there will be drinking in a BL and nobody will vomit all over the place. They had like four…
It is not 100% it was beer. As far as I know in the Philippines spirit and liqueur are often put into bottles like this. We don't know how much they were drinking. They had lucid conversation while we saw those 4 bottles per each, they might have carried on drinking afterwards. Hours might have passed between that scene on the terrace and vomiting in the bathroom. And Asians generally have low alcohol tolerance. My Asian ex-bf literally got tipsy and dizzy from two glasses of cider.
He also got a part in Wabi Sabi's 7 Project. So he is coming back. All his haters could take their friggin' "toxic" buzzword and shove it up where the Sun does not shine.
Papa & Daddy season 2 just got the support funding from Taiwan's Minstry of Culture. That is, they got the funding from the government. And the producer, writer and others involved just happily announced that season 2 was coming.
I cannot get my head around whether the Mon-Team stuff was just role playing. It is so campily out-of-character in both of their cases, it just does not make any sense. And that is not how they act and behave at the end.
I still see many people throwing around the phrase "Once a cheater always a cheater." What evidence do you have…
It is probably time to set up a collection of "The most stupefyingly inept bullshit slogans sexually frustrated teenage girl and spinster SJWs of BL fandom could come up with". This "once a cheater always a cheater" and "drunken people cannot give a consent" are strong contenders, for sure.
To all the people who are saying the dialogues are unrealistic, I feel thoughts like that do come out when you…
The dialogue is certainly not realistic but I don't get why it should be. Conversation Piece or Talk Piece is a genre with exactly this sort of language. Playwrights like Noël Coward, Neil Simon, Bernard Slade or George Axelrod made a career of writing plays where the characters speak in such literate, sometimes philosophical one-liners. And that goes for the movies of writer-director Whit Stillman. It is a special kind of entertainment.
The first epsiode gave me Taiwanese BL vibes á la Trapped, with a touch of Where Your Eyes Linger, but the second episode went more on conventional Thai lines. Boat and Gun are fine, Gun has improved a lot in the second episode acting-wise compared to the first one. The Pitch-Bank drunk scene was embarrassing, what they did after however was cute.
