Everlasting Regret

I have finally, finally, finally got my hands on a rented copy of "Everlasting Regret" (DVD version). It's shameful how I still call myself an avid fan of Sammi's when I didn't even manage to catch the film while it was still in the theatre! Well, four months after its release, I've finally taken some time off and watched it.

And of course all who know me should know I prefer chick flicks i.e. shows that don't require much thinking and move at ultrafast rates. But I am mildly impressed by myself since I wasn't distracted or anything throughout the 2 hour film, and only got up once to get a drink three quarters into the film.

I shan't go into the story and plot and anything cos it'll get too draggy, but I feel it's a JOB WELL DONE Sammi I'm always so proud of her! Although she was a real slut in the show (she slept with three men, if I haven't miscounted, and they keep getting younger, the last being her daughter's classmate's boyfriend, who actually addressed her as "Auntie Wang" before sleeping with her like OMG!), I could tell she really put in 100%. Her Chinese is far from being perfect, in fact it's heavy with a HK accent, but you can definitely tell she's trying really hard. So all those critics can be evil and slam her down because of her mandarin, but I think this is truly a piece of work that Sammi and all those who love her to be proud of.

On a completely different and irrelevant note I was pretty disgusted by a particular video shop assistant while I was shopping at Causeway point today. The only thing I did was ask for Anita Mui's music and they just shot me weird looks like hey she's dead, why are you listening to her. So I was quite pissed off but they didn't have anything to offer anyway.

Like wth is there some rule around that you can't appreciate artistes above 30 or who have passed away? I mean, I do like female artistes like Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and JLo (as Wankai will know about my secret fetishes for them and my obsessive need to watch their every chick flick) on a superficial level, but on a deeper level, I prefer people like SAMMI cheng, Anita Mui and Audrey Hepburn, who are so much more than what artistes now are. They were/are the true stars, those unreachable and unattainable. That's what I like about them.

Yawn. Sleep. Math tom (if I can bring myself to do it.)
