Thanks for the new thread, Sufan!
I'm glad you understood why I said I would've loved to see Alec play the Wu Ah Ge in HZGGIII... he was totally different. He had more responsibility on his shoulders than he ever really wanted. His intelligence, his wit, his military skills... became the basis of his burden. All he really wanted was to be with Xiao Yan Zi, and to see the world... not shouldering the responsibilites of the country.
I really can't say Qiong Yau failed in this series... because I actually started liking the plot. And, the WAG and XYZ story did become more realistic (although I love the unrealistic one!) ... because men, especially those of higher status, were expected to marry again and have concubines. It became the norm - and WAG was just really do his "part"... and it was for XYZ and her brother that he had to sacrifice part of his heart for, really.
*laughs* Qing Er doesn't age! She doesn't have much to worry about really...
The smilies we use... are on the right hand side of the screen when you input in your reply
Thanks for the pictures, Emily dear! Love the Aegean Sea ones...
I love the one with Alec and the basketball.... oooh... and the spikes!!!
Coey, thanks for being so hard at work with those AV stuff... awesome!
Hien ...hey! You just make me laugh.... "it didn't register!!!"
Hello Foreva, I must admit Ruby's performance was overshadowed by Shui Ling's (I talked about this in the ATV series section) but I was glad to see her in a different role that was very typical Zi Wei (think Ru Ping, etc. etc.) and she managed to do that, for once. And I liked that. *laughs* I haven't got anything against her. I'm very good about being biased! (It's the historian in me)
Chrissy dearie, Alechoholics... love that term! Alecholics Anonymous Ahh... there are Alec threads in the Hotelier Forum, you see That's how come.
Has everybody seen the Material Boy video clip? Boy, oh boy... I have never seen Alec singing in English and there he goes, dancing to Material Boy! A bit stiff... then again, his dancing hasn't been terrific *laughs* But the front part of that clip cracked me up... him singing about frogs, with all the adding up and multiplying! How silly But very cute all the same!
