“In 1993, a businessman named Wen Jingfeng opened China’s first adult sex shop in Beijing. Since then, sex shops have been opened across the country, as the foreign media interpreted as the major symbol of China’s reform”. (From early post: Sexual repression of the stay at home women in China’s rural areas)

The societal views towards sex in China have gone a long way since the old days. However there are still far more uncertainties and inconsistencies about sexuality in this country. Swingers were recently sentenced to prison for “group licentiousness”. Pornography is banned and illegal but a large population of people have them on their cell phones. Prostitution is illegal yet it is as common as barber shops on the streets, literally.  And It is almost socially accepted for wealthy and powerful men to keep multiple mistresses while many people in the lower social classes suffer from sexual repressions…

Introducing RED LIGHT REVOLUTION, finally a film that takes a humorous look at Chinese tradition and post 1949 dogmas colliding with modern sexual value.

From Netease:

Jin Ping Mei or The Plum in the Golden Vase (金瓶梅) is sometimes considered to be the fifth classical novel after the Four Great Classical Novels. It is the first full length Chinese fictional work to depict sexuality in a graphically explicit manner. Known for centuries as pornographic material and banned officially most of the time in China, the book is nevertheless surreptitiously read by many of the educated class. The newest film “Jin Ping Mei” featuring Japanese adult film stars will air in Japan in February 2010.

[From MOP:] Avatar is a 2009 epic American science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron who also directed Titanic.  The making of the film took 10 years. The film is estimated to have cost over $300 million to produce, and another estimated $200 million for the distribution and other costs, thus totaling to about half a billion dollars.

To worship this epic film, one netizen photoshops various stars into his own epic work. Sheng Dan Shi Zuo Pin = things that Sheng Dan Shi made

From MOP: Looking for a good scary movie for the weekend? Chinese netizen recommends a list of horror movies that are the most worth watching.  Surprisingly most of them are from Korea and Thailand, then followed by Japan.

I always think good horror movie should not be purely gruesome and purely scary. When people finish watching a good horror movie other than feeling scared, they should also ponder some social issues…  Enough talking, let’s start the pictures.

Chinese name: 变鬼(609猛鬼套房)
English name: Buppha Reborn
Origin: Thailand

One Chinese Blogger posted his view on “Transformers 2” on QQ:

Basically, “Transformers 2” is more “transformed” than “Transformers”, but writing a regular file critic is like “please write down the feeling of driving a Chevrolet” or “please analyze the characteristics of how KFC taste” dry and boring. Therefore, I will write it unconventionally.
