Carina Lau gets fans nostalgic with recent photo with Stephen Chow
20 Jun - Carina Lau has sparked both nostalgia and speculations, after she shared a photo online of her and comedy auteur, Stephen Chow.
On 18 June, the actress posted the image on Instagram of Stephen giving her a very friendly hug, writing, "Are you hungry? I'll cook some noodles for you."
Fans immediately caught on, sharing how much they missed Carina and Stephen's performances in the 1996 film, "Forbidden City Cop". It is noted that the line came from Carina's character in the movie, Ling Ka Ting, who is the wife of Stephen's Ling Ling Fat.
Even celebrities were excited in the comments, with Pakho Chau writing, "The most enjoyable scene" and Charlene Choi posting, "I love it so so much!!!"

It is noted that Carina is married to Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who is also Stephen's best friend since before their showbiz days.

‘People And Meat' Introduces Three Hard To Forget Characters
In 'People and Meat' three seniors enjoy a meal they cannot pay for. The central characters in the 2025 Korean film People and Meat might fade into the background on a busy street in Seoul. Two of the characters are old men collecting discarded cardboard to sell. It's a wearying job that requires scouring the neighborhood for old boxes and their work barely earns them pocket change. The third of these characters is an old woman crouching by the vegetables she sells on the sidewalk. Passers-by might easily dismiss any of these characters. They are poor. They are old. They are nondescript. And yet these characters, the film's protagonists, deliver a touching and often funny meditation on life that makes them difficult to forget. They first get involved with each other when a fight breaks out between neighborhood newcomer Ui-sik (Jang Yong) and Hyun-jong (Park Keun-hyung), a longtime neighborhood resident. When they start fighting over cardboard Hwa-jin (Ye Su-jeong), the vegetable seller tries to shoo them away. She has no idea they will change her life. Ui-sik and Hyun-jong quickly make up. They share some tea and talk about the indignities of old age. They nostalgically reminisce about beef and radish soup and plan to make some together, roping in Hwa-jin because neither of them knows how. Then Ui-sik proposes a radical idea. Hyun-jong, played by Park Keun-hyung, collects cardboard to make ends meet. What they need is to nourish themselves with some delicious meat in a restaurant. He invites them to dine, but when it comes time to pay confesses he has no money and instructs them to dash out without paying. It's a bolder thing than Hwa-jin has ever done. She's been a law-abiding citizen all her life. However, that meat was delicious, satisfying their taste buds after many meals of cat food or worse. Dining and dashing gives them something to do, a chance to interact, and provides a touch of drama in their uneventful lonely lives. Although dining and dashing is not a victimless crime, it's hard to fault these seniors for wanting to have a decent meal. Unwise life choices, but also random accidents, have left them alone and in limited circumstances. A decent meal seems like a small thing to begrudge them. They see other seniors enjoying their golden years, dining out, and playing golf while they continue to work every day and still don't have enough to eat. The free meals they share are enjoyable, a chance to feel part of the wider world, so their small crime spree continues. There are many films—from Babette's Feast to Fried Green Tomatoes to Ratatouille that use food to propel the plot and in this film the stolen meals become a metaphor for the nourishment these characters derive from engaging with each other. The film also becomes a wistful poem about life and aging, one that observes the injustice of old age with humor and kindness. Defying the law is risky and there are consequences, but the film seems to say that there are also consequences to a life not lived, to not making the most of the rest of your life, whatever age you are. All three actors imbue their roles with a quiet dignity. Park has appeared in dramas such as Island and The Good Detective, while Jang had roles in the dramas Hold Me Tight and Avengers Social Club. Ye's prolific career includes roles in the films Project Silence and An Old Lady, and dramas such as ,The Worst of Evil, Jirisan, One The Woman and Mine. Yang Jong-hyun directed the film written by Lim Na-moo. People and Meat had its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival.

Danny Boyle Says He Would Never Make Oscar-Winner ‘Slumdog Millionaire' Now Amid 'Cultural Appropriation' Concerns
Danny Boyle says he remains proud of Slumdog Millionaire, but he would never make the Oscar-winning film in the current climate. Reflecting on his 2008 Best Picture winner in an interview with The Guardian, Boyle said the film, about a Mumbai ghetto kid (Dev Patel) who wins a quiz jackpot, would be difficult to mount — and for good reasons. More from Deadline '28 Years Later' $5M+, 'Elio' $2.5M-$3M Previews - Thursday Night Box Office What Are The Critics Saying About '28 Years Later'? Deadline On The Red Carpet: Aaron Taylor-Johnson On '28 Years Later's Brexit Nod, Danny Boyle Talks "The Growth" Of Horror, Jodie Comer On "Manifesting" A Movie Musical & Tom Rothman With An Actor Tip 'We wouldn't be able to make that now,' the 28 Years Later director said. 'And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world.' Asked if he felt the production was a form of colonialism, Boyle responded: 'No, no … Well, only in the sense that everything is. At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method.' He continued: 'That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be. I mean, I'm proud of the film, but you wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn't even get financed. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian film-maker to shoot it.' Boyle's comments suggest he is unlikely to be involved in the effort to revisit Slumdog Millionaire through a film sequel and/or TV adaptation housed at Bridge7, a production company founded by former Netflix executive Swati Shetty and former CAA agent Grant Kessman. Directed by Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy based on the book Q&A by Vikas Swarup, Slumdog Millionaire follows the story of 18-year-old Jamal whose life of hardship in the slums of Mumbai gives him the answers he needs to win a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-style show. The film won eight Academy Awards, including Best Director.

JENNIE Melts Down on ‘Hot Ones,' But Thinks BLACKPINK's Jisoo Would Crush the Spicy Challenge: Watch
JENNIE had a pretty rough time taking on the infamous Hot Ones challenge. During her appearance on the web series Thursday (June 19), the BLACKPINK star — who admitted early on that she doesn't eat spicy food — began the episode with optimism, but ended up crying for help and running tearful laps around the table after facing the fiery spate of wings. More from Billboard A Complete List of BLACKPINK's Solo Projects (So Far) Rachel Zegler Serenades Crowd Outside Theater for Free in a New London Production of 'Evita' Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to Receive Vanguard Award at The Guitar Center Music Foundation Gala & Benefit Concert 'In my daily life, I have nothing — no spice in my life,' JENNIE told host Sean Evans at the top of the show. 'I don't like spicy food or anything to do with spice. If anything, I like things plain, but here I am, facing my fear.' And face it she did. Things got painfully intense as the 29-year-old powered through the spice-laden challenge, following in the footsteps of her BLACKPINK bandmates ROSÉ and LISA, who had previously braved the wings of death in past episodes. Between interview questions about her debut solo album, Ruby, songs she fought for on the project, the importance of skincare, hearing fans sing her lyrics at concerts, and being a hamster mom, the singer and rapper visibly unraveled with each increasingly scorching bite. 'I think I'm allergic to spice!' she said at one point. The heat hit a whole new level when JENNIE reached wing No. 8, featuring the notorious Da' Bomb hot sauce. 'This is no joke,' she said, desperately grabbing a napkin to fan herself. After taking a dramatic lap around the table, she reached for milk and ice cream while screaming in agony. 'I can't hear anymore,' she said, forcing a smile. 'God, help me!' After somewhat regaining her composure, Evans asked if JENNIE might be able to convince JISOO — the only BLACKPINK member who hasn't yet appeared on Hot Ones — to take on the challenge. '100%, because she is the one who taught me spicy and she's the other you,' JENNIE replied. 'Like she made me eat spicy food with her. Ever since we were trainees. So, I think [Jisoo] should come on this show. You're gonna love it.' Reflecting on her bandmates' appearances, she added, 'Whatever ROSÉ and LISA did, this is the real reaction. Because I watched their episode and they were so chill about it so I was like if they're doing it, maybe I can do it too. But I can't!' Watch JENNIE's Hot Ones episode above.
