Wow. I've never seen a worse Trailer... Movie is called Kong: Skull Island. Upon hearing it, you think of King Kong and other monsters, I guess? Anyways, from the looks of the trailer, Hollywood is looking to fail again. I mean, just because they whip together great actors into one big epic movie doesn't mean the movie will do well. I mean, someone always outshines another, and they don't seem to come off real when working together... when will Hollywood, learn?

Updates? Erm... There's a lot in the works... nothing big enough to report yet, but I'm just re-watching Jenny Lena... I mean, dude, the pipes on this girl!!

Right?!?! But as for a movie I'm excited to see that released an AWESOME trailer?

Enough said. (Note... Asians are still invisible... sigh...)

When I was young, I thought I was White. Not only was my skin more fair than most of the White kids, I seemed LEAGUES smarter than them, too. So, they put me back in the normal class with normal kids. Oh yes, because they didn’t know what to do with Asian kids, they put them in the Special Ed class, and they put me in ESL. Those racists thought I would be slow and non-verbal. And when I showed them I thought faster than the normal kids and spoke better than most of the normal speaking kids, they felt I had justified my abilities and put me in with the normal education kids. … And when I did better than them in class, I was called a show-off. (Talk about a double standard.)

The funny part was, English isn’t really my second language. Mandarin is. I grew up listening to, reading, and watching Disney movies! And, I still remember watching old classics with my parents, when Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn charmed their way through their troubled lives, and Fred Astaire and Jean Kelly danced me through my dreams. Oh, heck ya! I was White on the inside, and nicely beige on the outside. I knew more about the classics and fairytales, could recite lines verbatim, and they still thought I wasn’t qualified to be in the normal classes when they met me. What the poop, right?!

I used to look at my classmate, who was an autistic and wheelchair bound handicapped girl and wonder how we ended up in the same class. Did they see me like this, too? And when Emily, her normal friend, came in, we chatted like normal kids. I think there’s a real problem with the way “All-Americans” see minorities. I was born in Texas and raised in California, and yet, I’m still, somehow, a second-class citizen. It just burns me up when I think about this. But then, again, if Trump ends up being elected… many more of my kind will be back to where I had been when the authorities in the school racially profiled me and put me in the special ed class.

BERNIE SANDERS FOR THE WIN!!!

*Honestly… if you look at his politics and realize that the media doesn’t like him because he’s for the PEOPLE and not big companies, you’ll understand why he is the best choice. I mean, just check out his EDUCATION PLAN!!

Oscar [Shameful] Reflection (03.17.16)

I’m a female Asian American writer/director hoping for a chance to prove myself in the dark industry that is Hollywood. So, Chris Rock addressing the #OscarsSoWhite meant a lot to me. I thought everything went well until he pulled three young Chinese boys onto the stage for his skit. That shocked me into silence. As the world laughed at the joke, I sat there in silence, surprised that such a blatant racist joke could be cracked by someone meant to redeem the under-represented at the world’s choice film awards.

It was THEN that it hit me, he only meant to make Black people feel better, not the Asian people. No, no, we were still laughable and jokes on us were still allowed. Did our nation forget that hundreds of Chinese were the ones that connected the East to the West? Whether it be robbed from their homes, kidnapped, or recruited, thousands were recruited, hundreds died, and those left over were seen as less than humans. Doesn’t that sound familiar? So, how were Black slaves and Asian railroad workers different?

I just wonder why we are so differently treated when our histories and discrimination are in the same league of horribleness. Where is the justice for ALL minorities? I know I’m not alone in this frustration!
