Since listening [a lot] to #CocoLee sing A LOVE BEFORE TIME on my #ILikeToWatch #ÉmigreSquirrel playlist (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTGXYh23M58oZiWLBo4AWFaEZYwo6AaEF&si=KNLp3U-0jKXHgutQ) I've been wanting to rip my heart out again with one more rewatch of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (2000)

'cos Shu Lien + Mu Bai =💔😭

THE BUND (1980)

CHOW Yun Fat received 4th billing as HUI Man-keung

FOURTH! 🤣 Never again

XU Wengiang (Mandarin)
HUI Man-keung (Cantonese)
all =
CHOW Yun-Fat
(global superstar 😆)

#ILikeToWatch 🇭🇰 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist (addendum, part 2)

To me, CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON's heart was always about the older couple (Michelle YEOH & CHOW Yun Fat) 😭😢💔 #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@MatthewTitus88 Happy my playlist helps ♥️🫂 good music + good friends = good energy 🥰

#ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@MatthewTitus88 I will light some incense to Mom 🙏🏼 and email her privately.

Dani had told me a re-admit was in her near future. I guess NEAR has become NOW

TY for letting us know #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@ADignorantium I like BTS but I LOVE SJ.! They're pros & it shows #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

They sometimes have sidegroups with some members (Super Junior D+E = Donghae & Eunhyuk) like Duran Duran and Arcadia

Ditto, mi amigo @MatthewTitus88. But I can text (slowly) with someone I know who's from Mexico -- it gives my brain time to catch up #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@rsmon77 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, her ex was a pro fútbol player ⚽️ so there was a multi-front hot mess when they split after 12 years and 2 kids #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@ADignorantium Not weird at all -- I love the auditory flow of the songs...and I don't understand Hindi, Telegu, or Korean, or speak Spanish/Cantonese.

Mandarin, Shanghainese, and English are all that I can speak. 😁 #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@rsmon77 Thanks for coming & I'm so happy you enjoyed it, gang ♥️ #ILikeToWatch 🌏🐿#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@MatthewTitus88 @rljenk @otheorange_tag @silverseasun Stew -- now who'd forget? 'cos I always do ♥️ @ADignorantium @Binder @kcarr2015

@rsmon77 Hey @rljenk you owe Stewart a Coke 🤣 #ILikeToWatch 🇰🇷#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@ADignorantium Thanks Frank ♥️ Wanted to end on an upbeat ✊🏼#ILikeToWatch 🇰🇷#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

@rljenk 🤣 that girl group has a really funky spelling 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ILikeToWatch 🇰🇷#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

And here is the closer for tonight's #ILikeToWatch 🇰🇷 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist:

BTS (and an entire squad/platoon/whole mess of people) perform ON

I LOVE THE CHOREOGRAPHY!

And as we survive each day, I think of this anthemic song:

Bring the pain

#ILikeToWatch #ÉmigreSquirrel

A video short: MORE DANCE OFFs 🤣 Jung Kook of BTS and a girl group, Le Seraffim (sp?)

#ILikeToWatch 🇮🇳#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

BTW, Ram is the gentleman in the tan/beige shirt.

He attended the Oscars the year the song was nominated and performed -- but the Academy, and it's infinite genius, did not have him perform on stage 🤦🏻‍♀️ #OscarsSoWhite (and stupid)

Another Oscar Winner: NAATU NAATU won in its year #ILikeToWatch 🇮🇳#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

Ram Charan stars in the Telegu (Tollywood) film RRR, available on Netflix

NOW THIS, THIS is a dance-off, Star Lord! So sit down and shut up!

Hrithik Roshan Appreciation Post 🥰🥰😍😍

@MatthewTitus88 Yesssss! #ILikeToWatch 🇮🇳#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

AND NOW: BOLLYWOOD! #ILikeToWatch 🇮🇳#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

BANG BANG - Tu Meri - (in Hindi)

♥️♥️♥️Hrithik Roshan♥️♥️♥️ plays a bank robber romancing a bank teller, the gorgeous Katrina Kaif -- so famous she was named checked in another Hrithik Roshan movie 🤣

@MatthewTitus88 THE BUND is a 30-episode TV series... which has supposedly been crushed into a single movie 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ THIRTY HOURS! #ILikeToWatch 🇨🇳 🇭🇰 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

#ILikeToWatch 🇨🇳 🇭🇰 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

OK I have run out of pre-prepared notes. Oops! 🤣

Here is one of my favorite groups -- the Shanghai restoration Project -- and this video is filmed in Shanghai

#ILikeToWatch 🇨🇳 🇭🇰 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist
baby CHOW Yun Fat! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

with Andy LAU -- who is SIXTY FOUR.

We saw Andy in INFERNAL AFFAIRS on #KungFuSat

#ILikeToWatch 🇭🇰 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

Here's an interrogation scene with Andy LAU (seated in the bloody shirt) & Eddie PENG from a movie @MatthewTitus88 will like the title of: I DID IT MY WAY

#️⃣🔟and1️⃣1️⃣ on the #ILikeToWatch 🌏 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist🐿 are sung by the multihyphenate, Ageless Andy LAU.

🔟 is the Mandarin theme song to a Hong Kong policier I've been craving to watch, despute mediocre reviews while 1️⃣1️⃣ is the Cantonese theme song for THE BUND, the 1980s soap opera thatmade CHOW Yun Fat a superstar in Asia.

THE BUND (a\k\a SHANGHAI TAN) was a 30-ep appointment viewing soap for me and Squirrelmom

@ADignorantium It's very sad -- the Chinese culture does not acknowledge or discussion depression. So on her second attempt in a week, Coco succeeded on committing suicide #ILikeToWatch 🇭🇰#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

DO YOU WANT MY LOVE is on this CoCo Lee CD, which thankfully escaped my 2016 apartment purge #ILikeToWatch 🇭🇰#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist
https://mastodon.social/@SesameSquirrel/114407438802547092

Despite her EXCELLENT dance moves, Coco actually had legs of different lengths which were unable to be equalized by surgery

This led to later life pain & health problems 😢 #ILikeToWatch 🇭🇰#ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

#️⃣8️⃣➡️9️⃣ #ILikeToWatch 🌏 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist🐿

CoCo Lee (1975-2023) may be familiar to you for her Oscar-winning vocals on the CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON soundtrack (no.8️⃣ A LOVE BEFORE TIME, which she recorded in both English and Mandarin Chinese) and was known as the Asian Mariah Carey because DEM PIPES!

Unlike Mariah, CoCo (who was born in Hong Kong🇭🇰) remembers all of HER lyrics!

Sadly, she committed suicide at 48 so PLEASE FREAKING REACH OUT IF YOU NEED HELP 💔

@ADignorantium Soooooo yes! #ILikeToWatch 🇰🇷 #ÉmigreSquirrel Playlist

Taemin FTW!
