Wonkette Movie Night: Big Trouble In Little China
'Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.'
Hi Movie Night fans!
Tonight's movie is Big Trouble In Little China starring Kurt Russell, Dennis Dun, Victor Wong, James Hong and Kim Cattrall. Directed by John Carpenter, who described this film as an "action adventure comedy Kung Fu ghost story monster movie," with a budget of 25 million dollars it grossed 11.1 million at the box office. Because there's no math on Movie Night that was not very good. Kurt Russell said: "This is a difficult picture to sell, because it's hard to explain. It's a mixture of the real history of Chinatown in San Francisco blended with Chinese legend and lore. It's bizarre stuff. There are only a handful of non-Asian actors in the cast." It may not have been a blockbuster but it did end up as a cult classic.

Man, that poster is a terrible likeness of Kurt Russell.
I love this movie so much, I forgot y'all were watching it last night (not that I was awake to watch it with y'all). Sadly, 90% of my DVDs are still in storage, including that one, so I'm going to have to rent it from someone to watch it again.
Ahh. I see the problem. Liberals look at the constitution and see it as both fluid and the top law in the nation. Rethugs see it as both advisory and fixed at birth, and are happy to defer to the religious hackery to support their legalismo hackery.
