Second watch

[flemmings]

Wait, wait- what? *That* was Bo Pi? The dorky schoolmaster in Rainbow, **that** was Bo Pi?? Dear God, look what happens when you age an actor down. I literally did /not/ recognize him.

Rather impressive, actually.

And Rainbow sticks about in the head, far more than Hero. It's the vibrant sun-drenched colours, not nearly as schematized as Hero's, that seem to have inspired at least two dreams of mine this week. But a rewatch says the subtitles didn't translate what I think a rather important piece of script- literal script, something Uncle Ming's character writes- supposing I'm actually reading the script correctly.

Uncle Ming also gets to share screen time with another horse. Not as beautiful as Gou Jian's horse, but still... endearing.

You only just thought of that pun? Woman, where ya been? I've been fighting it off with a stick since January.

Ever since you started mentioning him all I could see was sheep!!! ^__~

Ahahaha! Only maybe because my chinese zodiac tells me I'm a 'Fire Sheep' whatever one of those is! (uhmm...'are?')

With a little difficulty I find that his name hanzi evidently mean 'Count Lump'. Or possibly, 'Lord Stealthily,' either of which will do for him.

Or Uncle Lump. Actually I have no idea about the Pi character, no one uses it any more.

Hence the difficulty in finding it. But google to the rescue (http://chinese.dsturgeon.net/dictionary.pl?if=en&char=%E5%9A%AD).

I'm a late bloomer. My mommy says it's because I'm a special little snowflake :D
