Check out the cultural confusion Colin Farrell is having at his Tokyo press conference---- he must think he is in Thailand or Tibet, hee, hee.

I agree.....he plays the evil, bad boy, cruel parts so well. He can be a sick mother in those movies.

I thought he did well in 'phone booth' as well.

Anyway, I still stand by my: he is a babe in my book

Oh my god, that makes me cringe. He could at least wrap his fist with one hand, Chinese style. Doesn't the guy watch kung-fu movies?

And I heard he's Bi ^_^

Anyway, c'mon guys don't bash him about his lack of Asian culture. I think it's a great gesture of him to show 'Hello' like the people in South East Asia do. I don't think it's wrong, because it has the same meaning and it shows sympathy.

Beware of the Yakuza, maybe they'll misunderstand it and they take it serious. It shows Colin wants to fight in Chinese style u know?

Yep. Japan people just looooove to be confused with South East Asians. It shows sympathy for the Greater East Asia Coprosperity Sphere.

Likewise I think it would a great gesture to click my heels with stiff slight bow at a Jewish Defense League meeting like Prince Harry would.

Too bad he can't act. Jude Law is good looking too, but at least he can carry an accent... Farrel's Alexander sounded more like an American playing dress-up.

For a ball of laughs try telling a group of drunk middle-aged salarymen that Japanese and Koreans both likely descended from Mongolians... :lol:

I've found that the Japanese are far more receptive to that idea than Korean who believe they are unique among all mankind.

Fucking Koreans :shake:

You do have a point. He has a very strong Irish accent opposed to an american speaker. I did not see Alexander so I am curious how he may have sounded...perhaps a mix of his own Irish accent with him trying too hard as an american speaker???


WHAT!!!! HE IS BI. Damn. Oh well.

Didn't you know that they're ALL gay or bi? That's the prevailing rumor in LA, anyway. :wink:
