I only said I hate Asian movies to make a scene.
I know that Quentin Tarantino borrows a lot from Asian movies, in particular Kill Bill, and also that the plot and climax of Reservoir Dogs is based nearly entirely from some Asian movie that I'm not too sure of the name. Those two (I guess three) movies are among my all-time favourites, despite anything that I've said to denounce Asian films or influence. I'm a big fan of most genres of movies. I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie Hero, and if more Asian movies were brought to Canada the same way that Hero is, that is, wide-spread in major theatres and not on DVDs that cost a fortune and are only availiable in a limited amount of stores (if there even are any in Alberta), then I'm sure my interest would increase. I don't like anime, however, and I think from me saying that a long time ago created a snowball effect which led to me saying that I hate all Asian films. This has apparently offended you in some shape or form if you're still bringing it up, if only in small doses, so I'm using this post to set the record straight.
