Ok.,… i ‘m just getting in from watching The house of Flying daggers. I think it was a good story.. but not so good a movie. OK.. there is a certain amount of “exceptable” exaggerations in a movie like this. Jumping from tree to tree while chasing a person as ezily as running on the ground, i can take. having a unlimited arsenal of bamboo shards?… again except able in a movie like this. But when a person fights, tumbles and KICKS @ss all with a very LONG dagger lodged in his back… there’s an issue. There was ALOT of time/footage spent on establishing a scene…. Example would be a scene where two ppl were running. It showed them running thru a forest *3-5mins, then thru hilly area *3-5mins, then thru grassy fields*4-6 mins then another scene with MORE grassy fields. Then a stream.. then back into trees. OK.. then they rest… and are attacked… But you WATCHED THEM TRAVEL ON FOOT through a good portion of CHINA .. or INDIA or where ever they were* California..lol just to show they ran a distance. And it’s NOT like they did that Once.. oh no. There were like 4 series of running like this. AMAZING! Oh.. and NO ONE ATE! they fought. bathed, slept, ran, drank Tea.. but NEVER ATE!!!! Red bull gives you WINGS!!! i guess. Oh and the main heroine, * i thought i was bad, but she was the WORST TEASE EVER!!! she strung two men along, got them BOTH ready to “share her affections” but bc she was “torn” with her duty and feelings, would leave them … .. hangingLOL pretty sad. Funny though. oh… oh.. and the best part… there was a scene where the two main heroes are fighting to the death apparently they are fight SOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long that the seasons literally change. From summer, to autumn, to WINTER STORM 2004. Simply amazing. And NO ONE ATE!!! Ok… i have it out of my system now 
I think LB will be buying the movie. I’m not sure if i would go as far as owning the movie.. but i am glad i saw it..
To bed I go. I have to be to work by 9a.
