    Big hit when I was 12.

By crimson on Sunday, January 7, 2001 - 03:42 am:

    i remember when that song came out. the big dancefloor craze was to try to incorporate kung-fu movements into your dancing whenever that particular record was played. imagine the high surrealism of a gym full of boondock kids karate-chopping the air & throwing fake kicks.

    that was back in the good old days, when nobody had any dignity whatsoever.

By Hal on Sunday, January 7, 2001 - 05:08 am:

    OH and like they do now...

    Dignity didn't go up, it went down... now they don't even bother but the only reason is that they aren't wearing enough clothes to do those high styled manuvers...

    God I hate people my age.

By Know how it is on Sunday, January 7, 2001 - 09:51 am:

    How's it gonna be, when you don't love me anymore?

By Hal on Sunday, January 7, 2001 - 07:41 pm:

    That song isn't that old... Its not a bad song, but not really good ole' 80's material.

    I watched Footloose at about 2 in the morning
    on New Years day.

    they didnt dance in time to the music.

    i never noticed that before.

    very wierd.

    Friday I'm going to see "Enter the Fat Dragon" starring Sammo Hung.

    9:15 at the Royal.

By moonit on Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 10:56 pm:

    I love Sammo.

By Pug on Friday, January 12, 2001 - 01:42 pm:

    Enter the Fat Dragon----is that for real???!!!!! I heard that Sammo supposedly got pretty tough on the Hong Kong streets because people used to bag on him for his weight....
    I like the one where he plays Jackie Chan's retarded brother....can't even remember the name of it at this point.

    finally the last open thread. I have no idea what you people are talking about.

    I am going away now. When you've read through each and every one, and noted the time, and the isp and everything else, you can call or write.

    By the way, I've got great wallpaper occupying my time, the electronic screen saver kind. Serves you right sending me graphics of that sort.
    I loved it. You know, I think I'll go ride the snowblower for a while...

    And I think You are wrong about me.

By moonit on Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 02:50 am:

    Gee.. how was it?

    I am thinking of going to see Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - I love Chow Yun-Fat

    And I am going to see Girlfight when it comes out here.

By Antigone on Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 03:37 am:

    Go see Crouching Tiger. Fucking great all around
    movie experience.

By moonit on Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 03:45 am:

    Can I have the big bucket of popcorn? And a large coke? oooh and a big bag of m&m's?

By Gee on Tuesday, January 16, 2001 - 03:24 pm:

    I didn't get to see it. at the last minute I realized I didn't have enough money on me to even see one freaking movie. stupid life. I was Really dissapointed.


    I adore Sammo. he rocks. he's cute and cuddly and on Martial Law, the name of his girlfriend was Melanie. :)


    Crouching Tiger is Great. I loved it, but the guy I went with was dissapointed.

By patrick on Tuesday, January 16, 2001 - 03:28 pm:

    I saw Shadow of a Vampire. Great concept, decent acting by Malcovich and Defoe....weak movie...wait for video

By semillama on Tuesday, January 16, 2001 - 03:38 pm:

    What was wrong with the guy you went with, Gee? I saw CT, HD this weekend. Unbelievable. If it comes to LaCrosse I'm going again (we drove to madison to see it).

    my friend Ari argued with me for about 2 hours that this song was sung by jimi hendrix.

    this is a guy who got out of a ticket by saying to the officer
    "i am sorry sir, i was listening to that rock and roll music!"

By semillama on Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 03:28 pm:

    (head explodes)

By heather on Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 07:48 pm:

    crouching tiger was very beautiful

    should have been longer


    people couldn't help laughing at the flying though

By semillama on Thursday, January 18, 2001 - 08:58 am:

    Yeah, I know, but that type of action is typical for a Hong Kong action movie.

    hey sem, did your head explode because of the jimi hendrix thing or the cop thing? (i think they're both hilarious)

By Joe on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 01:43 am:

    just for the record, it was carl carlton. i wonder what he is doing now. i hope he invested his income wisely.

By jack on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 03:48 pm:

    just for the record, what was carl carlton?

    carl douglas sang "kung fu fighting"

By Ophelia on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:23 am:

    but hal, people our age are so irresistably self-centered. what could you possibly dislike about a bunch of people struggling desparately to preserve the image of being aloof from the rest of society?

    okay, so maybe you have a point...on the other hand there are a lot of people who, despite the image and the ego things, i still really respect. and even a few rare eggs who honestly don't do the image thing.

    and it can be charming now and then.

    anyways, i just realized you wrote that 2 years ago. well, i'm about 2 years younger than you i guess. what do ya think right now?

By Joe on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:59 am:

    you know what? i admit that i'm old and i can't remember who sang "kung fu fighting" and "everlasting love". both were "karls". wtf?
