OK, yes, it's been a billion years since I've tweeted here. And, truthfully, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be here. But this Twitter account did mean a lot to me, once upon a time, so I don't just want to disappear, either. So take this as the beginning of my farewell tour.

BTW, I braved my first cinema outing since 2019 to see Everything Everywhere All At Once and I absolutely loved it. Highly original. Go see it.

Iโve seen almost 400 kung-fu and wuxia movies over the past three years, so when I say Iโve never seen a fight like this before, itโs not hyperbole (Drunken Dragon/Exciting Dragon - dir. Chiu Chung-Hing, 1985)
