War of Dragons - Pili Fantasy

[Drunk Monk]

Last night I was with the wulin - 'martial forest' aka the Kung Fu world.  It's a surreal subculture where I earn my living, and getting more magical the deeper I get.  The magical wulin is the subject of War of Dragons, told with cheesey cgi and ... puppets!  I was raised with Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet, so it kind of works for me.  Plus there's a tradition of Chinese puppetry - I've seen Kung Fu puppet films before (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...hp?tid=355) - it's strange genre - not for kids.  If you can get past the sappy opening theme song (which goes on forever), the first fight is super sanguineous.  And there's a magical transformation that results in dick jokes from the comic relief characters (one of which is clad in sunglasses and heavy metal spiked leather which really stands out with the rest in fantasy/medieval garb).  It's got too many characters to follow, lots of magical quests, sword fights, dragons, and classic Kung Fu lines like one of my total favs 'You must be tired of living.'
