the world is morally grey at the end of the day. there's no one who's absolutely morally right. i feel like it's…
Newsflash, chiild: Neither you nor anyone else on this planet is a saint. If you truly believe you have lived a life "free from" envy, jealousy, greed, and voyeurism, then you are delusional and need treatment. Actual saints don't proclaim themselves to be one, but mentally ill people have long been known to make such pronouncements.
My reply was entirely responsive to the gist of your strange comment: "There are saints in this world—more than I could ever count—who are free from the envy, jealousy, greed, and voyeurism."
No, there aren't. Some good people do their best to live with that goal in mind, but none has ever achieved it. That is the essence of being human.

Still waiting to read who a few of those saints, who you claim are free of envy, jealousy, greed, and voyeurism, are, and whether or not you're one of them.

I think you mean BL, not Yaoi, but whatever. I'm far older than you ever thought of being. Every comment on this site is of concern to me if I choose to make it so.
No one said you couldn't criticize whatever tf you want.

I love your review, Maggi. Your way with words is magic.
I watched Made In Hong Kong for a second time this evening, and liked it more than the first time. I would never have opened up to this kind of film if I had never known you. I'm thankful for the opening up, and that I knew you.
KSR death is a shameful stain on the Korean entertainment industry and every so-called celebrity who stood silent…
So true. Killer Knetz got another one. And you're right, nothing has changed. Korean entertainment as an institution is cowardly and soulless. When one artist is relentlessly attacked, the others run and hide like cockroaches, praying they won't be next. It's seriously bizarre and appalling.
At this point I just want to find out next week if TTH will end like YNEH or not. I love the show, and I love…
I feel you, as YNEH is one of my fave gay films. I have watched it at least four times. (I think I'm OK.)
However...I stop it after the beach scene near the end, when they're still young. It's no less sad, but the last 20 minutes or so is one of the worst extended endings to an otherwise great film that I have ever seen. It's slow, meandering, boring, and ends much as the earlier ending, which makes it stupid. Plus, the actors look NOTHING like their younger counterparts. Terrible casting. So, for me, boom!, I hit the stop button after the beach scene, and that's it. If I included that coda, the film would not be one of my faves.
How do you know you won't rewatch TTH, without seeing the last hour?

It would do you well to adopt some humility.

You are missed every time I log in to MDL.
Hugs.

Glad you liked it.
Right before I screamed "asshole!" at the screen.
He's in the cast list under supporting actors.
No, I haven't read the novel.

I love that you felt better after reading my ramble.
Thank you for letting me know.
Really, it's true!
There were so many low blows to choose from.
