This spate of verdicts is totally making me feel guilty about sitting on my own matchup for so long.
You know you'll feel better.
And I'll stop making jokes about you in chat.

Wait, wha????

I should probably give another attempt to watch mine... I made it through about 40 minutes of Temptress Moon months ago and it really... wasn't good.

I think my next matchup is going to be

Kitchen (Ho Yim, 1997)
vs.
Days of Being Dumb (Sau Leung 'Blacky' Ko, 1992)

I've read the book that the first film is based on and as for the second, well, an imdb review called it "a hilarious parody of the film Days of Being Wild".. huh? And Tony Leung plays a loser?

I saw Kitchen in the cinema for some reason. I found it really dull. But I've been wrong before, so enjoy!

I read about Days of Being Dumb the other day. I hope it's better than the other Tony Leung comedies I've seen but the title isn't too promising.

Assuming these two haven't been taken by someone else since Monsieur pix disappeared, my next match-up will be,

Red Rose White Rose Vs. Autumn Moon.
