Am I trying to massage the YouTube algorithm with this title? Yes.
But I do mean what I say in the video. Millennial Chinese moms are the backbone of Chines box office. I'm not crazy! I just think creatively.

Okay, the title should be Nezha in one word, but thanks to the recent movie, "Ne Zha" with the space in between has become the word to tickle the algorithm. I rant about this on social media before, but Nezha is a given name and should be written without space, kinda like Zhang Yimou. In the subt...

I'm sitting in a theater with half a dozen people all waiting in silence for the film to begin. Everyone comes alone, because only snobs with no stable employment and no friends come to see Sinners in a Tuesday afternoon.
But hey, at least the ticket is only 5 bucks.

Swear words warning, obviously.

Some may be curious as to where I find movies like this. In all honesty, I have no idea. I probably just saw it on the dark corners of Internet somewhere, and because my mind is cursed, the film and its idea stayed with me for the rest of my life.
