Didn't know there were so many people from Chicago... most of the video rental/stores in Chinatown are pretty "underground" ghetto. In recent years, lots of mobility in new/old places as well. There's a place by the library that would probably have it though, but it's one of those ghetto p...

Oh, wouldn't it would be great if there was some place to read writer or director's intentions. But if the majority of the audience doesn't get it, that says something about the work.

Yup, that scene was tiresome after a while. It was way too long--could've been shortened. Honestly, I think this is the best (TVB series) of the year.

Ok, first thing I did after finals was watch this.
