Chow Yun-Fat in POTC2.
Sweeeeeeeeet!
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Compassionately intolerant
I can't even describe the warm squishies Chow Yun Fat gives me.

That used to be me until hearing his big Chinese newspaper rant about how much he hates speaking English, eating American food, and having to deal with Westerners while counting the seconds until he can leave our polluted shores for homeshooting movies.

Damned foreigners.
I mean, it is pretty grace-deficient to take the millions and run, but he just was tactless enough to say in public.

Chow Yun-Fat in POTC2.
So he'll be doing the patented two-gun sideways dive with flintlock pistols? Cooooool.

Thrive to spite them
I love Veronica Lake. I'll have to find my copy of I Married a Witch.
She's abosloutely stunning in So Proudly We Hail. I end up crying everytime I watch that movie.

I understand people being homesick and preferring to live close to home rather than abroad. I'd feel the same if I worked in another country. (Well, unless it were Canada, in which case I'd be all "Marry me so I can get citizenship! PLEASE!" to random passers-by...) But the article in question had a definite "Get me away from the dirty round-eyes!" slant, and I'd like to think I could manage a more tactful way to say I prefer home even if I weren't earning the GNP of some third world nations due to my popularity among the furriners.

Might it have been the spin the newspaper decided to put on it? They certainly wouldn't be the only foreign press to induldge in a little USA bashing.

Possibly... the account of it I read was a translation of the original, so anything's possible. But unless they completely put words in his mouth it was at least insultingly tactless if not outright inflammatory.
