the cups runneth over

watched the curse of the golden flower today with malcolm. the show is so historically inaccurate in terms of costume. i have never read anywhere in books about ladies in the palace exposing so much of their bosoms. if this was true, no wonder the male working in the palace had to be eunuchs, else they would all be sporting stiffys. only in this show does an a-cup become a heaving c-cup and gong li's e-cup become dunno what super cup. hahaha.

boobs aside, i felt that jay chou's character was not well prepared enough. how can you go to battle without artillery support, such as archers, and without shields? his troop of 10000 had good javelin throwers but they are not as effective as archers.

morale of the story is, ah-kong knows everything. ah-kong, not your grandfater but the head-of-state.
