A collage of personal, political,cultural, and historical commentary from the thought processes of Brandon Wallace.

I just got through watching House of the Flying Daggersagain. It is a very enjoyable movie, but I do have to wonder how many of these films they are going to make. This is the new asian-sterotype movie--as "The Flower Drum Song" used to be. In some ways its a bit ludicrous. Im staring at the screen and thinking this and thinking of what the average movie goer takes in from this and other films like it: "Ohh, can all Asian people throw knives like that? Ohh look at what they are doing in those trees! Is that how they won the Vietnam war?"
