box office.

#14: Who should play "The Girl" in a HK version of
My Sassy Girl? - Posted November 22nd,
2002
Total votes: 250
- Cecilia Cheung (89) 36%
- Shu Qi (48) 19%
- Karena Lam (32) 13%

- My Sister (13) 5%
- Ruby Lin (12) 5%
- Joey Yung (7) 3%
- Rain Li (5) 2%
Commentary: To be honest,
I feel that Cecilia Cheung would be the top - and most obvious
- choice for the role of "The Girl." She really does
have the requisite emotional range, though it'd be hard for
anyone to top Jeon Ji-Hyun. Shu Qi and Charlene Choi wouldn't
be bad, either. However, five years ago I would have immediately
chosen Charlie Young for the role. And thanks to everyone who
voted for my sister. |

- Jo Koo (Visible Secret 2) (3) 1%
- Rain Li (If U Care...) (3) 1%
- Cathy Tsui (The Saving Hands) (1) 0%
Commentary: In truth,
I think Angelica Lee has the most talent out of everyone on
the above poll, Winona Ryder and my sister included. I would
rank Karena Lam, Charlene Choi, Candy Lo and Jo Koo right
below her. Still, it's amazing that so many people chose Karena
Lam; I expected this poll to have a much more evenly distributed
turnout. However, Cathy Tsui getting only one vote is fine
by me.

#12: What should Hong Kong do to improve their films? -
Posted November 15th, 2002
Total votes: 195
- Send young filmmakers to school in other countries. (11)
6%
- Import talent from other countries. (7) 4%
- Have Johnnie To direct everything. (10) 5%
- Start a serious film school program in Hong Kong. (37)
19%
- Have filmmakers apprentice in countries with thriving
film industries, like the United States, Korea or India.
(8) 4%
- Educate the average filmgoer to appreciate and support
film as a medium. (15) 8%
- Make scriptwriting a required course for gradeschoolers.
(11) 6%
- Ban the following people: Wong Jing, Michael Wong and
Ekin Cheng. (17) 9%
- All of the above. (31) 16%
- There's nothing wrong with Hong Kong film. (48) 25%
Commentary: A quarter
of the people who voted suggested that there was nothing wrong
with Hong Kong film. While I would like to agree, I simply
can't. This year has been the weakest Hong Kong Cinema year
in a while, and last year was pretty bad. The top films were
probably A Chinese Odyssey 2002, The Eye, and Three:
Going Home, and after that there's a substantial drop-off
in quality. Granted, I have yet to see Hero, Infernal
Affairs, Just One Look or Hollywood Hong Kong,
but a Top 10 list this year would still likely include My
Left Eye Sees Ghosts and Love Undercover, which
wouldn't crack the Top 20 in other years. Hopefully something
can be done, and banning Wong Jing, Michael Wong and Ekin
Cheng is really not the solution.

- Jean-Claude Van Damme (3) 1%
- Stephen Tung Wai (2) 1%
- Ma Yuk-Sing (0) 0%
Commentary: Nobody voted
for Ma Yuk-Sing; poor guy. Not surprisingly, Jackie Chan took
first, though I fully expected Yuen Woo-Ping to win thanks
to The Matrix. EKIN CHENG IN THIRD PLACE??? What is
this world coming to? Ekin Cheng is not an action director.
It's even debatable whether or not he's an actor. I'm sure
he's a nice guy, but how can he be a better action director
than Sammo Hung? On another note, I assume the three people
who voted for Jean-Claude Van Damme have already reserved
their spots in Hell.

Poll #6: Some readers have
requested having ratings or grades in addition to the copious
text on each film review. Should each review have a rating/grade?
- Posted July 1st, 2002
Total votes: 110
- Yes, a rating or grade would be good.
(59) 54%
- No. The "skinny" on each
review is enough. (37) 34%
- Who cares? I only look at the pictures.
(9) 8%
- Yes, but I prefer the Roger Ebert "thumb"
method. (3) 3%
- I only like text reviews. Get rid of
everything else. (2) 2%
Commentary: This poll
wasn't much of a mystery. As expected, the whole ratings thing
won out, and my response to that can be found in this
edition of Life with Kozo. However, I would like to thank
all those who voted for the "skinny" on each
review is enough (37 votes). I assume this means that
literacy is not an antiquated concept.

good as they used to be,

(46) 10%

Yeung (39) 9%
- American films have been
disappointing. (39) 9%

- The sappy melodrama wins
me over. (28) 6%
- Wong Kar-Wai. (27) 6%
- Two words: Ekin Cheng. (23)
5%
- Wong Jing's comedy stylings
are quite beguiling. (22) 5%
- The wondrous existentialism.
(19) 4%
- I have no other choice.
(5) 1%
- None of the above. (4) 1%
- My roommate only rents HK
flicks and I'm too cheap to rent my own movies. (2) 0%
Commentary: If anything
can be learned from this wacky reader poll, it's this: more
men read this site than women. 52 votes state that the women
are hot, whereas 30 claim the guys are hot. That's assuming
that all voters are heterosexual, which would be bad form.
In that case this poll teaches us nothing, except that Sammi
Cheng and Miriam Yeung rule the roost, and Ekin Cheng is the
midst of a serious career backslide. Also, action is still
tops though very few action films are made anymore. And are
there really two people out there who are too cheap to rent
their own movies, and only watch HK flicks because their roomates
do? My condolences.

Poll #4: What would you
like to see on LoveHKFilm.com?

Total votes: 182

be nice... (34) 19%

Cheng (17) 9%
- More jokes (16) 9%
- An online store (11) 6%
- Giveaways (10) 5%
- Less jokes (0) 0%
Commentary: This is
probably the most serious poll we've run yet, only because
changes to the site are something we'd like to see. So...More
Reviews (19%) came in first. Yay. Despite that winning,
I (and my fellow reviewers) can only write so much. Who
cares as long as it's free (14%): an unsurprisingly popular
choice. Rest assured, that is the current plan. A Forum
(14%): easily the most desirable choice for the Webmaster.
And one that will definitely happen - should this site hang
around. More Screen Captures (13%): when there's more
web space. More pictures of the Twins (10%): here
and done! Online chat with Ekin Cheng (9%): uh...love
to, but I don't know him. And besides, he'd probably want
to beat me up. More Jokes (9%): even if this choice
had received zero votes, more snarky stuff would still be
in the offing. Know this: LoveHKFilm.com
= jokes. And Hong Kong Cinema. An online store (6%):
in all likelihood, no. That is, unless someone tenders an
offer I simply cannot refuse. Giveaways (5%): A surprisingly
low turnout, which is great because I don't have the necessary

Poll #3.1: Where do you
hail from? - Posted June 10th, 2002
Total votes: 96
- The United States (42) 44%
- Other North America (15)
16%
- Europe (14) 15%
- Asia (7) 7%
- Australia (7) 7%
- A galaxy far, far away...
(7) 7%
- Hong Kong (3) 3%
- South America (1) 1%
- Africa (0) 0%
Commentary: No surprise
here. The US and its fellow North American territories won
out big. If they hadn't I would have been seriously puzzled.
Special credit goes to the three Hong Kong readers and the
single one from South America. Thanks for visiting! I must
buy you tea sometime. Of course, the biggest revelation in
this poll is the number of votes. Ninety-six? Apparently nobody
visits this site, which would make it more successful than
my former job's web site.

Poll #3: How do you watch
Hong Kong movies? - Posted June 10th, 2002
Total Votes: 113
- DVDs - I buy them. (49)
43%
- VCDs - I buy them. (20)
18%
- Bootleg VCDs - I'm a criminal.
(18) 16%
- Tapes - I rent them. (11)
10%
- DVDs/VCDs - I rent them.
(10) 9%
- I only watch them in the
theater. (3) 3%
- I catch them at a friend's
house. (2) 2%
- I only watch Miramax releases.
(0) 0%
Commentary: As expected,
DVDs won big time. What's surprising is that Bootleg VCDs
came in third. Was everyone who voted for that option joking?
If not, I have this to say: what are you people thinking?
If Hong Kong films continue to be watched through only pirated
means, then sooner or later the only bootleg VCDs you'll be
able to get will be for Star Wars Episode 2. And who
the hell wants to watch that movie? Thankfully, nobody said
that they only watched Miramax releases.

Poll #2: What type of Hong
Kong movies do you like best? - Posted
June 3rd, 2002
Total votes: 281
- Crazy Hong Kong comedies
(54) 19%
- Three words: Martial arts
movies (52) 19%
- Urban romantic comedies
(47) 17%
- Crime action dramas (34)
12%
- I like everything! (30)
11%
- Anything with Ekin Cheng
(19) 7%
- Existential art films (15)
5%
- Category III schlock (14)
5%
- Horror films (14) 5%
- I prefer the fine work of
Jerry Bruckheimer (2) 1%
Analysis: Martial Arts
(19%) was predictably in the Top 2, with Hong Kong's current
fave - Urban Romantic Comedies (17%) - ending up at the Number
3 slot. Which leaves this question: how did Crazy Hong Kong
Comedies (19%, 2 more votes than Martial Arts) end up in Number
One? Either Wong Jing has lots of fans, or Crazy Comedy has
tickled everyone out there at one time or another. What's
disappointing is the poor showing for Existential Art Films
(7%), which bodes ill for Wong Kar-Wai. Jerry Bruckheimer
is right where he belongs, but how did two people vote for
him? I take it those two people were waiting in line for Bad
Company this past weekend.
