One thing about me you might not know is that I’m obsessed with a good martial arts movie. I love wuxia and chanbara. I love colorful set pieces, stilted acting, ketchup blood, and insane plotting. I also love choreo, stunts, and corny sound design. These movies often involve some sort of vengeance story, a quest that follows a skilled hero up against the impossible, and that’s fun too.
