He talks to you about romcoms.

You weren’t even necessarily going to buy one, just perusing the options while you wait for your friend to show up.

You don’t even notice him until he’s right beside you, an incredible feat for such a huge man. Part of you is startled, instinctively about to step away to give him room. But he says, “Sleepless in Seattle?”

It takes you a second to catch up. You’re directly in front of the title, a foreign film, nothing particularly outlandish or eye catching about the cover. “Oh, yeah,” you say, awkwardly, not sure what you should say.

But — his eyes light up. “Have you seen it? It’s one of my favorites. I think it really opened the whole genre up for the concept of LDR and situational romances.”

You haven’t seen it. You don’t know what he means. But he talks to you for the next ten minutes, hardly pausing to take a breath. You find it almost shocking that someone of his mien would be so invested in romance movies. He looks kind of like a fuckboy, if you’re being honest. At first you’re convinced this is all a pickup gambit.

But he keeps going, and it’s clear that he really just — loves Sleepless in Seattle.

He’s the first to leave, scurry away from you just as quickly and abruptly as he appeared.

It was so random and strange, you hardly know what to make of the situation. But the next time you visit the DVD shop, it’s your turn to initiate.

“I watched it,” you tell him. “It was good.”

He’s grinning so wide. “You did? Okay, okay, if you liked that one you have to watch Hana Yori Dango. I know, it seems weird. But hear me out…”

It becomes a weekly thing after that. Meeting here, taking and giving recommendations. You’re— friends, in some strange, delicate way.

An absolutely perfect film with a whole cast of perfect characters, but I'll start here.

Every single thing about this film is beautiful, but Shu Lien is my favorite. She's a fierce warrior, but she's not fearless. She's incredibly strong, but she's also achingly tender and full of longing.

She flies across the screen in countless, breathtaking fight scenes. But my favorite moments with her are the subtle ones. She communicates a hundred emotions with a single glance, her eyes conveying what she can't say. Michelle Yeoh is a treasure.

Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) and Yu Jiaolong, aka Jen (Zhang Zhiyi), battle in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

I saw this film opening weekend at a large theatre in Los Angeles that was packed (Keanu Reeves snuck into the audience that night). The crowd, which was more the typical art house/film festival audience than kung fu/wuxia fans, went absolutely nuts after this scene.
