Land of the Wierd
Thai movies come in four varieties,
Horror/Ghost movies which are often great (really ! - I get more goosebumps watching a Thai horror flick then today's softsnuff from Hollywood)
Comedies - which are just BAD
Action/Fighting movies - Good fight scenes, no plot. Ong Bak is the best of these
And then A fourth category of "Just plain weird". To that category I will add "Bangkok Love Story" which is your normal "Contract hit man kills people, killer gets shot, best friend takes care of killer, best friend has crush on killer, killer cries" -- or to put it another way, if you ever wanted to see the foreign language version of "Brokeback Mountain" meets "Reservoir Dogs" then this is your movie.
Luckily for all of you, the trailer is online

In other news, Thailand just approved a new constitution in a referendum.
Top Three reasons to vote YES
1) It is a good constitution, I really like the part about having half the senate appointed
2) A Yes vote for the constitution is a Yes vote for the Coup. Yeaaa Coup
3) I'm tired of all this politics shit...if I just vote yes will you leave me alone now
Exit polls showed that #3 was the top reason the Constitution passed.
