House of Flying Daggers

Stamped: 1:41 am

Row and I just finished watching House of Flying Daggers. She gave it to me in a 3-pack (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon + Kung Fu Hustle) for my Birthday. Visually it was stunning and the cinematography was very good. I used to be a fan of 'D' grade Kung Fu for the gratuitous fight scenes! However, since the choreography of Yuen Woo-ping in The Matrix and CTHD, I appreciate the A-grade, big-budget, well-rehearsed sequences in martial arts movies.

There were two options for watching tonights movie:
1) Spoken Language: Mandarin. Subtitle: English.
2) Spoken Language: English. Subtitle: None.

I normally go for option #1 - but tonight we went for option #2. This made the movie less authentic than when I watched it at the movies.

Question: Is it possible to enjoy watching it in English? Or is it always better to have to read the subtitles?

    nixter - what you have to do is upload all the gif files in the template.

    so i uploaded mine to googlepages... it was very quick and easy.

    and then you find that image
    let's say "bg.png"
    an insert "http://whereyourphotoishosted.com/bg.png"

    so for mine it would look like this:
    http://davidnmiers.googlepages.com/bg.png

    then i find all the images in the template and paste in davidnmiers.googlepages.com each time

    does that make sense??

    it's not too hard... i think... top

    I like subtitles because they make me feel that I have learnt the language by the end of the film top
