hi!

i'm a big fan of asian movies since i was a little girl, i'm myself asian and i'm so glad to watch many asian movies in sell in my country now....

i'm from the north of france, and i like to spend few hours (so many hours sometimes!) on internet to talk about it.... but now, i started to watch korean drama on kbs world...

i like asian music, shopping, internet, sleep... chocolate.... :lol:

Hey all,
Well I'm really a big fan of asian movies, and when i was searching for a good site about the movies I just found HK Cinemagic. The site is one of my favourites, and I hope to meet some nice people at this boards :). I can't speak French, so i'll just stay in this part of it :blush: .

The last thing I can say is that I'm a really big fan of the actor Chow Yun Fat, and that my nickname is taken from one of his acts.

Well, I think that's it.

See Ya :okay:

Welcome Tequila and don't hesit to post, even in the french forum. All members read english you know. ;)

Ok J-L, thanks for the greetings and i'll try to post in the French boards :).

To JL: Hey, you are trying to steal 'my' forum visitors :sado:

To Tequila: If all those French can read English, they will look at your posts on the English board too! Don't worry about that :D

To everybody: Let's use English on the English board and French on the French board :okay:

If it's important one of our English/French writting members can put a link from one to an other. Like here. :hehe:

:blush: :unedent: :okay:

Ahahaha, like I said Peter, and as you quoted I can't understand French, so it will be very hard to go on the french boards, I don't want to use a translator in every post to understand what the guys there are saying :lol:.

Neither do I!

btw: Is English your native language?

Hi Tequila and welcome onboard! :okay:

Would you be kind enough to change a bit you banner signature, as in the forum we tend to have very small signatures for everybody's convenience. Some of us only have very small internet connections! (well not me :P )

Maybe you could do something like that:

Welcome Tequila!

No, and that's the reason my english is not very good. :D

Ok, i'll change it. And thanks :).

Thanks Sushimi :).

Ni hao! My interest in kung fu cinema began in the late 70s. I would watch 'Kung Fu Theater' on KTLA, channel 5, weekend afternoons.
Recently, i began collecting DVDs. My collection is about 200 titles deep. My son is convinced this is near record-breaking in size, though I assure him it is rather a rookie collection.
I am delighted to find hkcinemagic. I hope to learn more about the martial arts movies in my collection by becoming a member of this great site.

Welcome on this board!
I must dissappoint your son: 200 is not record breaking, but sure it's quite a lot if you started recently. Further it's not quantity that counts but quality! It's very easy to have a big collection if you have enough money and can buy everything you can get.
You must have watched quite a lot HK-films and perhaps your knowledge can be usefull. I do hope to hear more from you.

Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask!

I should clarify that my collection's quantity in no way
reflects its quality. mine is indeed a case of 'buying
whatever I find'. This 'affordable' approach bears witness
to my ignorance. Still, I watch them all and find
measurable enjoyment in all but the most offensive
stinkers.
In short, my collection was easily and quickly obtained, as
you suggested. Perhaps there is a place for my growing
knowledge of shoddy kung fu movies? Hahaa! I would imagine that, if I am active enough, I should find occassion to
share some knowledge. Certainly to warn, if not enlighten,
ne?

Thank you for welcoming me!

I took the time the watch your profile and your site.
I believe in America lots of HK-films are dubbed. I don't like that (that's why I order my DVD's in HK), do you?

You got a lot of nice pictures on your site. I don't like them all, but a lot of them are very, very nice! Some even great! (Since the HK-virus got me, I don't spend much time on photo's anymore, but it has been one of my hobbies too.)

Greetings, Pieter

Welcome ! It's a real pleasure to have an american fan in that forum ! :jap:

PS : Pieter really is happy too... ;)

Thank you, Pieter. Thank you, J-L.
Indeed, Pieter, 99% of my kung fu DVDs are dubbed into (British?) English. I agree that this post-production 'translation' process denies the viewer much of the film creator's original vision. An example which comes to mind is the English dub of Zhang Ziyi in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. The dubbing conveys an oddly confident woman, contrary to the naivete of the character's young mind. I notice this dub-struction is evident in animation as well.
I would enjoy a source of quality martial arts films, original voice tracks intact, for purchase. I know I can be schooled on this within the HKCinemagic community, ne?

I think a lot is lost when you can't understand Chinese and have to read subs, but dubbed versions are even worse.
I buy my DVDs at DVDyNOT.
Their site isn't great and sometimes the 'order status' doesn't show the right information, but till now I never had problems with the orders (about 15 orders).
Looking for more shops? Have a look here.

Hi! :jap:
Look how naughty I am! I have not even introduced myself, yet, though I'm on this forum for a while! :blush: To be honest I found HKCinemagic a long time ago, and I liked it a lot, visited regularly, because it's trustable, full of informations, updated etc.
My name is Katalin, which is Kate in English. I'm Hungarian, 37 years old secular worker in a Parish Church! Don't tell my priest that my homepage is dedicated to a "Taoist Priest"! :D
My best friend (we know each other for 22 years) is to be blamed for my becoming a massive LCY fan, as she introduced me to the world of Hong Kong movies. But I'm not angry at her at all. On the contrary!!!
I'm happy that I found you and that I joined this forum!
Bye!
