Sony has been CURSEd with Chow Yun Fat's GOLDEN FLOWER, if you know what I mean...

Published at:  Jun 27, 2006 8:27:55 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an update for you Asian cinema fans out there. Zhang Yimou, who directed HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, has a flick starring Chow Yun Fat and the beautiful Gong Li called CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER. They call it a "martial arts romantic drama" in Hollywood Reporter. HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, SHAOLIN SOCCER, CHINESE GHOST STORY, HEROIC TRIO and HERO choreographer Tony Ching Siu-Tung will be on hand to make sure the action is up to par. Looks like Sony Pictures Classics has dibs on this flick, at least in North and Latin America. Pretty cool, eh?

    and caused great loss of face to my clan. The only way for me to get justice is to give each member of your clan a golden shower. Prepare for battle...

    Brycemonkey, only together, with your Pissing Baboon stance and my Tremoring Codger blade, can we restore a sense of right and justice to AICN.

    ...was the greatest disappointment EVER. To me, "Hero" is one of the major accomplishments of modern cinema.

    by stovetopstuffin'

    it took 4 posts before someone made a golden shower comment. I'd have bet on 1st or 2nd post.

    I thought Chow Yun Fat was dead.

    Oh well, it'll be interesting to see what he looks like these days.

    Pissing Baboon! You trecherous dog, you killed my master! I still remember it like it was yesterday, I returned to the temple only to smell urine everywhere. You desecrated our Dancin' Dragon,shrine! Uncapie and Doc Sin we should join forces. Become a male Heroic Trio! No one will be able to stop the combine force of Dancin' Dragon, Tremoring Codger blade and Flying Donkey Punch! Together we can defeat the honour-less Pissing Baboon and finally restore peace and justice to the land of AICN.

    Heard about this film awhile ago. I'm a fan of Chow Yun Fat, Zhang Yimou and Wuxia so I'm looking forward to this film. Can't wait!

    The Male Heroic Trio strike!

    by uncapie

    I have heard of this mysterious Dancin' Dragon style. It is quite honorable. Let us join forces! But, we must beware! The brycemonkey Pissing Baboon style is very deadly! To those who offend the Land Of AICN, taste our power!

    Sony, that's a relief, I guess...

    by harry weinstein

    ...maybe this time it won't be cut, unlike HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS and KUNG FU HUSTLE. I'm scared what they're going to do for a poster - KUNG FU HUSTLE had the ugliest eyesore of a poster in Sony Classics' history - nothing but a yellow photoshop abortion. This one actually has "golden" in the title - god only knows what they'll do this time. And who the fuck thought CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER was a better title than CITY OF THE GOLDEN ARMOUR, which is what this used to be called?

    Flying Donkey Punch and Dancin' Dragon

    by doctor_sin

    Our masters were all fellow monks at the Eternally Pestulant Smegma Temple! Brothers - it is fate which has brought us together! We must join forces...and right this injustice! Pissing Baboon must either join us or be destroyed. We shall meet at the Dim Sum and settle this over flying chopsticks.

    Join you? Never!!!

    by brycemonkey

    I will seek aide from my brothers in the Inflamed Monkey-But clan. Together we will destroy you and rule AICN (and probably marry a Princess).
