A Chinese Ghost Story is one of my all time favourite films, so I'm delighted to be featured in this box set.

Who even knows how percentages work? Or what numbers mean? Say whatever you want. Why stop at 1500%?

Left me emotionally unmoved. Too many characters competing for space, formulaic plot beats. Same boring CGI battles as every other tentpole superhero movie these days.

I love that Wu Ma and John Woo made Just Heroes to raise money for Chang to retire. He took the money and made another movie.

Phillipson is being an idiot. Letโ€™s keep the squeeze on.

This letter now has 700+ signatures. Shall we get it to 1,000 before the Tuesday deadline?

Then Iโ€™ll print it all outโ€”with every nameโ€”and post it to her, plus copy to every supportive MP I know.

Yep, that's a productive use of their time now that the UK is crime-free.
