Images of East Asia movie actors (part 1)

Images from East Asian action movies.  Most of them are from South Korea and I emphasize them for several reasons:  I was stationed just south of the DMV in 1953 and developed a fondness for the land and its people; it is now again threatened with destruction by the US  and I don't want that to happen. Lobby against it, please.

South Korea was a desperately-poor, backward (by Western standards) land when I was there: in contrast, South Korea, as pictured by movie directors, is now a vibrant land, women are at least equal to men socially and economically, a land whose architecture puts Hawaii to shame.  And I like the way the men look and move. (See, e.g., Man on High Heels, netflix) a daring movie since gay rights are barely permitted in South Korea).

Other images come from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Some of the most imanatige come from Thailand.

Following posts contain more images.  The images kere are not sorted, except for Aaron Kwok.

Aaron Kwok, see below

"Teen Wolf" snuck in when I wasn't looking.  Never too old for "Teen Wolf."

Aaron Kwok is an old favorite.

Other images of Aaron from "The Storm Riders"   (highly recommended) include:

So did "Mogli", but Jason Scott Lee is always welcomed.

       

NO KOREAN WAR!

Dancing the Cholera Rag

The Jordan Times ain't no commie pinko rag. United States, don't be Nero to suffering Rome: stop this nonsense. Trump, you're not gonna stop cholera with Hellfire missiles. Join Oxfam's Yemen Country Director Sajjad Mohammed Sajid: insist on a "cholera ceasefire."

Or dance the Cholera Rag, naked in the Hellfire flames to come for 

you.

Things news outlets could talk about, if they tire of talking about The Pretty Boy in The Oval Office

This 10-year-old documentary is alarming:  The Future of Water (2007)

To see how alarming, look at the present implications for India-China Relations (Water Wars: China, India and the Great Dam Rush | The Diplomat).

We won't speak of the destruction and death implied for Bangladesh, wholly dependent upon India for its water.  Not nearly pretty enough for the Nation's news outlets.

“The time has come," the Walrus said, 

   “To talk of many things:

Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--

   Of cabbages--and kings--

And why the sea is boiling hot-- 

   And whether pigs have wings.”

The Walrus and the Carpenter, Lewis Carroll, 1832 - 1898

Our talking heads continue their interminable speculation on Jared Kushner, The Pretty Boy in the Oval Office . . .

And matters of importance to human animals and elephants and panthers and all manner of creatures are happening all around us all the time.

Open your eyes please.

Or not.

What does it matter, anyway, if millions of our kith and kin wither and die? To say naught of the bird, beast, and flowering creatures that accompany us round and round the sun.  All will wither and die when the sun blooms up to swallow the earth; why wait?

Open your eyes, please.
It's time.
