Sing!

My crush of the season is Stephen Chow. Last summer, it was Riley Breckenridge of Thrice. And there was no fall crush, sadly.

Okay, before you even think it--yes, I know what you're going to think--in my defense, I did not know that he was ripped under there. His whole fighting sequence in Kung Fu Hustle comes at the end of the film, and he's shirtless for three minutes. He is amazing because he's an awesome writer/director. He's hilarious, and he's good at kung fu--I know it's wires, but please don't ruin the beautiful illusion for me!!! Haha. My brother kept saying to me, "Elaine, it's a movie. It's all choreographed. And they use wires." NNNOOO!!! I refuse to believe it! Stephen Chow is a kung fu master!

And I must admit, he has an amazing body. You wouldn't think it because for most of Kung Fu Hustle he's wearing slightly baggy clothing, and he looks so scrawny and, not exactly weak, but not that strong.

I like how his films (I've only seen two though--Hustle and Shaolin Soccer) have his love interests as girls with afflictions. In Hustle, the girl is mute, and in Shaolin Soccer the girl has bad acne (but it clears out in the end). They're beautiful though (of course).

Stephen Chow has inspired me to learn some martial arts. My self-defense is very basic (being the little sister to a big brother, it is a must), but it would be really cool to have the ability to kick someone's ass. I've never been in a fight before, but if the opportunity were to arise, I would like to fight and not run away. Actually, Mom said I beat up some kid when I was young, but I don't even remember it.

And they're making Kung Fu Hustle 2! A sequel I am actually excited for. Yay for Stephen Chow!
