One more way you know you're me...
Nov. 6th, 2002 11:55 pmYou go to the website for the Jet Li movie Hero, which won't be out for a while yet. You're in IE 6 and you've installed Windows Media Player 9, so you happily pull on your earphones and sit back to drool over Jet and the rest of the movie. But mostly Jet.
You get the trailer to work and you sit back and watch, and yes, you get to drool. Mostly over the setting and visuals, as the trailer encompasses all the movie, not just Jet's bits.
Just as you're going 'ooooo' for about the fifth or sixth time, they show a scene of a line of archers coming to full draw in combat...
... and somewhere in the depths of your brain something sits up, grabs control of your cerebral cortex, and yells, "I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!" while pointing at the bows.
This makes twice now. Last time it was Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Same type of bow. Yeesh.
