So I watched The Joy Luck Club last night

MARY!!!!!!!!!

I rove that movie.

Too easy and lazy, R2.

It’s a really good movie, I’ve rewatched a few times too. Yes I’m a basic bitch.

I never saw it.

Too many old ladies gabbing, not my cuppa tea. I prefer young men dabbling in hot unsafe sex.

[quote]It also struck me how beautiful many Chinese women are.

Harumph!

Great movie! Very sad. Back when impoverished immigrants could afford homes in San Francisco

When will we see the all-black remake?

I love this movie. I can't wait until the trans remake.

The Russell "Sumting" Wong?

R10

Datalounge, where a thread about literally anything can and likely will diverge into complaining about trans people...

Topic: "What do y'all think about trigonometry?"

A few replies in: "I don't care, but trannies will probably try to co-opt it!"

O_o

R12 Sit down. Eat.

R13

Don't mind if I do...

I love that movie too, OP. The ending always makes me bawl like a baby.

R12 either that or Meghan Markle.

This movie really is such a tearjerker. Best quality.

MEIMEI!!!

Where is Russell and his wong now? Still hot or not?

Only good for peanut butter pie. Who else eat?

It is no Eat Drink Man Woman.

R13 why does the mother take one tiny piece of meat at a time out of the serving dish? Unsanitary and tacky.

You have best heart....❤️

I always find this mother as quintessentially Asian. Her daughter did not realize how much her mother loved her. She must have had too much pride to engage in what in Asian culture is seen as WEAKNESS.

I was a sucker for the book, I'll admit. The movie didn't do much for me. Wonder if it would be better on a rewatch.

Couldn't get further than 10 minutes into it. This movie is strictly for fraus (and for gays with bad movie taste, apparently).

Enjoy " Fast and Furious." R25?

R26 Never saw it. I'm too busy watching arthouse masterpieces from all around the globe to care for Hollywood crap like The Joy Luck Club and those car racing films.

Are you Lainey Gossip?

Perhaps the pron version, THE JOY FUCK CLUB, would be more your speed?

R27 is also the guy who "only watches PBS," because anything else is beneath him. A first-class phony.

So, what would make you start a sentence with 'so?'

My late mother loved it. She had a great life, so it wasn’t like she id’d with the characters.

“Full box of Kleenex” movie, in her words, because it was empty by the time the movie ended

Back when China was still viewed as a country of wise, creative people. Now it's all viruses and knock-offs

As is the USA.

I won't argue with you there, R34

The Asian mom in this video is a WAY better actress than any of those on the Joy Luck Club...

She's, uh, /dark/.

You're a dog fart, OP.

I love it -- long time.

R36 The Hot Chick should be a DL classic.

R37, she's a mix including Hispanic. Quit acting and is in now in real estate and total "earth mother" type.

Fun fact, in the actual novel, the prodigy boy her mother mentions and compares her to is my father. He's in, "Ripley's Believe it Or Not" as a child prodigy.

Saw it when it came out with my taiwanese female friend, a weep fest! Andrew mcCarthy looked good though.,

Russell Wong & Ming-Na Wen on As The World Turns years before they were in the movie "Joy Luck Club"

R25 your heart is cold from too many hook ups probably, slut.

Half of the cast was Japanese...

This movie makes me sob

I saw this movie with my husband on our first date 27 years ago. We both discovered that we were the kind of guys who cried at movies. I know...MARY!
