I can sort of see the point in reviving these old threads.
Even if just one or two of those contributors receives the email notification that someone has responded to a thread, and comes back to join the new and quite frankly improved discussions around here of late, then that's one or two more souls than we have here right now. The more the merrier. And for my money, these forums have become one of the better places to discuss Hong Kong movies right now. Unlike at other forums where they seem to have forgotten that the cinematic past of Hong Kong is as vital to understanding the form as the present output, or where Hong Kong movies seem to be shunted aside in favour of jumping on the mainland and Taiwanese cinema bandwagons, I can always count on a much broader range of tastes and coverage - old and new - when I drop in here.
Maybe some of those lost souls will realize the place is still worth coming back to, and probably better than it's ever been before...Heck, we've probably notified a few just by making these posts alone!
