Jet Li and Jackie Chan are making a movie about The Monkey King. There are two things wrong with this:
1) The new project will feature an original script about a modern-day, kung fu-obsessed teenager who is transported to ancient China after discovering an artifact from the Monkey King in a pawn shop. (CBC)
I hate framing devices. Lose this idea and just tell us about the Monkey King.
2) There is only one Monkey King and that’s Stephen Chow. Not that I have ever been able to figure out what exactly was going on his Monkey King movie, and this despite repeated viewings.
I was completely, utterly, hopelessly lost in all of Part Two as to who everybody was and just what they were doing. Ah, memories.
Where’s Stephen Chow when we need him?

Did you see Chinese Odyssey (parts 1 and2) with me? They were the last two movies at the first Fantasia. I still have no idea what went on. Is there anyone out there that thinks these films are simple, straightforward narratives and would have no problem explaining them at a cocktail party?
Unrelated: Does anyone go to cocktail parties anymore? Are there still cocktail parties?
Yes I saw them with you. And I own them! I've watched them. And I still don't know what's going on.
I miss cocktail parties. I want some host in a smoking jacket to waltz up to me and say "Rob Roy"?
