just wanna gimme some self props that I was the one who first broke news of this lucy liu-jack yang thing on cashmere mafia, trying to rouse some interest in this show from AM's.
Anyway, I agree that we should mobilize more. writing studios and such is important, but i think even more important is backing it up by watching the show and going to movies, buying dvd's etc. why don't we see more asian-american movies? because hollywood doesn't think it will help their pocketbooks. If DVD sales for movies such as Shanghai Kiss, Better Luck Tomorrow etc somehow went through the roof, you know a lot of similar movies would be made (Hollywood is big copycat industry) Look at Harold and Kumar. The movie kinda struggled at the box office but became such a cult classic and had great DVD sales and now their is a second one, helping John Cho become a mainstream star.
Actually this Christmas I bought a bunch of copies of Shanghai kiss and give them to people.
Also, in Shanghai Kiss, Ken Leung gets to kiss a AF and a WF (see deleted scenes). This settles the AM/AF vs AM/WF debate. why choose if you can have both???
