Yuck, for real? I mean, uhhhh, isn’t that a fine town? To drive past on one’s way elsewhere?

@OtherMichael, when you suggested I watch Journey to the West, why didn’t you say it was based on the same source material as Monkey? Wouldn’t I have got around to it sooner if you had?

You hadn’t seen Journey to the West yet? Isn’t it surprisingly good?
Also, am I cursed to forever produce Hedgezilla things now?

The Stephen Chow one? Didn’t I love that even though it took serious liberties with the source material?
Can I recommend the 4 Shaw Brothers movies, Monkey Goes West, Princess Iron Fan, Cave Of The Silken Web, Land Of Many Perfumes?

I thought all Stephen Chow movies were docu-dramas?

Why does my downstairs neighbor smoke such horrible smelling cigarettes? Why can’t she discover the magic of vaping, and blow magical, good smelling clouds out of her smoke hole, instead of the gross yuck she’s blowing now?

Did you know that the author was a friend of my dad’s, so I knew him (he died a few years ago)? Wasn’t he exactly what you’d expect an old Chinese professor to be like?

Did I just willingly give up the offer of an extra ticket to the symphony tonight, suggesting one of my kids go instead, only to find out it was such a phenomenal concert that they actually had an encore (almost never happens at the CSO) at the end of the FIRST half of the program? And that as a result, all three B’s were represented, and well?
What was I thinking?
Did I have fun catching up with a friend instead? Was it enough to make up for the loss of a very special live performance?

Translator do you mean as I thought the stories were quite old? Either way, that is really cool, and while I can’t digest more than a chapter or two at a time can I say the books will probably be are in my all time favorites list?

Wasn’t I thinking I should make that distinction as I was typing, but decided not to bother?
Isn’t the tale the Chinese equivalent of the Icelandic Eddas or Old English Beowulf? Haven’t there been many translations over the years?
