On Karate Kid
One thought on the Karate Kid movies before I give you my one link for the day:
Didn't John G. Avildsen (the director of Karate Kid I, II, and III) realize that he was poisoning Karate Kid I, when in II we learn that Ali (yes, with an I) has fallen in love with some football player from UCLA? I could have dealt with that, though, because Daniel found Kumiko, and she was an exotic beauty with a good heart. But then we learn in III that that relationship doesn't work out either.
This is the most compelling reason why III should have never come into existence. The most compelling reason it should have, of course, is the inclusion of Thomas Ian Griffith and the re-inclusion of Martin Kove. Why settle for one bad sensei when you can have two? They were not enough, though.
I blame Avildsen for the rise in movies with a cynical view of love. With Karate Kids II and III, he taught audiences that movie love does not, in fact, last forever. Damn you, Mr Avildsen. Daniel Larruso and Ali Mills should still be together.
On to the daily link.
For you text messangers out there who want to spread the good news via texting, here are some verse translations for you. This was the winning verse.
