I was watching this for the first time recently. In the conversation around John Woo and his American films, there has always been this camp element, but I had no idea it went back to his Hong Kong films too.

    Good, I saw them calling for this and was really disappointed in the library. It's an insult to the entire arts community in Calgary.

    I question why they are doing this. I wonder if there is a AI firm backing the project and part of them holding this is some sort of good will generator for AI.

    Like, how many AI books does the library have if it's such an acceptable practice?

    No, it's a problem with modern society lacking any sense of morality, and morals are not about religion. It's a fundamental lack of character and humanity.

    "What's wrong with vanity?" What a stupid question. Your ignorance shows your Americanized ignorance where "the self" has turned toxic.

    The top response in this Reddit post goes over what is wrong with vanity: https://www.reddit.com/r/entj/comments/89qkc0/why_is_vanity_considered_a_bad_quality/.

    My TLDR: You're excessively focused on your yourself, and the opinions and views of others are shallow. You only care about how you are precevied, and will do anything to continued to be precevied a certain way, by any means, leading to compromises.

    Bruce Carrey.

    I get it, aging sucks, I'm staring down the barrel of 40, and that's just the beginning of the downward trajectory, but I will never philosophically agree with surgical or chemical intervention for aging.

    It is vanity and insecurity masking as self expression.

    It's kind of shocking seeing a couple of disabled people get beaten down, but it is worth it as it makes their journey feel real.

    But the bad English dub, the one sound effect, and the fight scenes that happen every 5 minutes get laughably bad and boring.

    I guess it lived up to the expectations with a name like "The Crippled Masters."
