 Okay Alan, on your recommendation alone 

As you should =) 

I'm gonna check out Romeo Must Die it

sounds pretty cool (even if it's not a fictional film on the bombing of Kid

Rocks trailer park). I've been a huge fan of Jet Next Best Thing to Bruce Li

ever since he kicked Mel and Danny's asses in LW4 (the only good thing about

that entire movie). The Black Mask was a bit too Green Hornet/Batman for me

(even had a cute reference to Kato) but Jet still shined like a star.

I'll grant that Jet's HK movies I've seen are better than his Hollywood stuff 
so far (we rented Fist of Legend and really dug it), but yeah, I really 
liked Romeo Must Die. 

BTW Jet will be in The Matrix (the hottest movie of 1999) 2 and 3.

Oh, and Cyclone will like Black  White (the flick about 
wiggers--oops--wiggas--imitating rap culture), though it'll be a while before 
that makes it down under. Judging from the ten or so people at the theatre 
when we went, it might be more sooner than later.

The only reason I'm even talking about this on 313 is revenge for sitting 
thru/deleting that inane Barbie as-capitalist-tool/commodification of DJ 
culture thread.

How about a new list: 313 Cinema ? Discussion on the movies on Jeff's website 
?

OK, I'm done now.

Kid Rock is a rich white kid!  Anyone who's ever bought a car from Bob
Ritchie Ford in the Northern suburbs of Detroit has contributed to his now
meteoric, non-deserving, Bon-joviesque rise to MTV superstardom.  Lil' Bobby
Ritchie Jr. got all his gear and money to make demos from papa.  So he's not
really white trash but claims to be, sort of the white CB4 in real life. 
God I long for those days when he tried to get one half of St. Andrew to Say
KID and the other to say ROCK to dead silence.  Almost as funny as my
friend body slamming som kid to the floor because he had never been near a
pit before.

  I saw Romeo Must Die.  I'm sorry folksit IS a good flickworth
  renting at least.  Soundtrack is great and Jet Li does a great job for
  someone new to 'English-on-film'.  I'm not sure why people are bashing
it.
  Can one of you fill me in on the grievances?
  
  Sean.you lost me on the (even if it's not a fictional film on the

   Hey Alan,
  
   What's the story on that new album of yours? When will you start
working
  on
   it and who is going to release it? I hope Tresor is, I get all their
stuff
   on promo. I really liked 'Progress' and I hope some new material is
coming
   soon.

   P.S. Are you in Detroit around the time of Carl's festival?

I've been wanting to see Romeo Must Die for a while now, but the
  reviews
   are so
  
   mixed I don't know what to do. How many of you saw it and thought it
was
   The
  
   Shit' (©2000 Sean Deason/Matrix records) 
  
   I saw it and whoever didn't like it is *full* of shit (neatly
avoiding
   trademark hassles by not using the 'the' prefix). Jet's fight scenes
were
  a
   little Jackie Chan/found- objects-as-weapons-esque, but the film
overall
  was
  
   noirish and very stylized and Aaliyah was incredible. The plot became
   transparent in the third act of the film but it looked so good, it
didn't
   matter. Its Romeo and Juliet subtext was a bit of a stretch, too; in
  this
   movie, they weren't lovers (I still like the visually tricked-out Baz
   Luhrmann alternate-Earth version with Leo and Claire Danes though). The
  film
  
   was set in San Fran and why am I talking about this movie on 313 ?
