SKIRMISHER

You know the world’s getting sicker and sicker if the insanely sick things you used to enjoy are sacrificed for sickeningly serious things. Do I make sense? Well, Stephen Chow certainly doesn’t. I’m talking about his planned sequel to Kung Fu Hustle, and how he’s setting it aside to work on a science fiction flick featuring an astronaut who lands on another planet (whoa! that’s pretty advanced), then acts as a father figure to a young alien.

At first, I thought this was some kind of a new comic way of doing sci-fi, until Cinematical asked the question: “So is Chow moving into tear-jerkingly sincere family films?”

Was that a clue? If that was, somebody should step on the brakes and stop me from flinging myself over that bridge. Yes, that bridge. Because I want my Stephen Chow funny as hell, not sniffling like a wet poodle on some extra-solar planet… Unless he does something bad here, like an alien version of the Axe Gang.

Stumble it!
