Chinese film, television, music

Jackie Chan's new movie, Shadow's Edge, just debuted with an 8.1 on Douban. Man Chinese movies are having a cracker year with Nezha 2, Dead to Rights, Nobody, and Legend of Hei 2.

Even if its just an outlier, its interesting comparing this with America, where the only big movies left this year that could possibly do well are Zootopia 2 and Avatar 3. Everything else has been a dud. Although 2026 has a lot of potentially high quality movies coming out with Dune 3, and movies from Nolan and Spielberg. Hence my original statement that this year was just an outlier, but maybe next year can prove to be a surprise as well.

Jackie Chan just made "Karate Kid: Legends," a movie with a plot so retarded and cheesy that I thought someone used AI to make it as a joke.

“Trump Falls in Love with Me, the White House Cleaner”

I was forced to sit through this exercise in fitting as many cliches into a movie as possible, at the behest of my sons' karate club.

Nobody has reached number 1 on its third weekend. In fact, it nearly doubled its cume from $78M to $138M in its third week. This is incredible word of mouth. Most top films open with their largest weekly from the opening advertisement blitz and progressively wane from there.

Nobody opened with little advertisement and fanfare but as people saw the film the word of mouth became its viral advertizement. It will be the highest grossing 2D traditional Chinese cartoon ever!

Fortunately, I was spared that fate. Youtube recommended a full length new Jackie Chan movie to me, totally free. I immediately thought I was totally gonna watch it when I have time and started streaming it. Then, Youtube recommended a 7 minute rundown of it. Being a father of 3 kids under 3 years old, my time is limited, so I decided to check that out for the plot and watch the full length for the details if it was good. It was not good. I nixed the stream and sat there wondering what could have convinced an A-star like Jackie Chan to agree to apear in a movie this shit. The entire Karate Kid franchise is a total joke filled with main characters who have no martial arts experience and don't even get me started on Larusso standing in front of a dojo in a soft skinny hoodie looking like a soccor mom pretending to be one of the most lethal fighters in the world while actually being stronger than maybe 25% of the men and 75% of the women his age in real life.
