*sniffles* pass tissue please...

I've just watched THIS. oh the pretty pretty slashiness....


ETA: Link to an ebay seller

And it's wonderful. Fantastically well filmed, incredible sets, amazing costumes - cast of 1000's to recreate the evacuation of Shanghai in the 1930's and on top of all that a really REALLY slashy friendship between John Lone as Fong/Billy and Adrian Pasdar (Heroes) as Dawson.

Pasdar gets very nekkid in the first half hour, kidnapped, stripped and plonked into a hot tub with John Lone (who has an amazing arse) - there's no overt mention that they are having a relationship, but one of the gang bosses has a "little friend" and it's fairly well assumed that Dawson and Fong are "partners" PLUS in the bathhouse - in Dawson's POV the camera pans down Fong's body and concentrates on his arse makes it bloody obvious to me. And with Dawson having a bitch fit at Fong's wedding...

And the ending !   *blubbers inconsolably*  Incredibly romantic. *Erastes bawls.*

I had a version that was all in Chinese, (I bought it from China) but I think some versions might have English in them.

Well worth a look if you can get hold of it.  Oh and the music will really get under your skin too.

As ataniell93 puts it: "This is not subtext. This text is nothing like sub. It is so dominant it is standing there in a Japanese soldier's uniform whipping the fucking plot for its own jollies."

Whee - bought a phone!

I've been phoneless for a couple of years (cell/mobile that is) because well, basically - I have no life and no bugger ever rings me on it. But now I have my dad to worry about, and my car is getting older I thought it was about time I crawled back to the tekkie age.

However, not THAT tekkie - I'm not buying a new one, in fact the one I bought - THIS ONE - has been upgraded, not once but twice, and the latest model has been replaced too!  But: I wanted a phone that flipped open (yes, I'm a geek) and I wanted a camera and this has both, even if it's not terribly "modern".   Plus it has a bluetooth ear piece (hee!) so I can pretend that I've been mind-napped by the Cybermen.  (Geek, remember?)

Phone Book: 1000 entries.  Hahahahahahaha.  Oh the irony.   But does anyone KNOW what all this gunk means?  What, for example is "Mobile Concatenation"?  Sounds complicated.  And what is "PIM Functionality"  Does it make Pimms as well as doing all that other stuff? And great. reminder alerts.  Another piece of inanimate crap telling me that I have no life.
