Finally, after four weeks at the number one spot in the Box Office, The Dark Knight’s reign at the top has been ended by Ben Stiller directed Tropic Thunder, a comedy spoof movie within a movie.

Amidst plenty of protests because of the liberal use of the word “retard” in the movie, those of us who saw the humor in the movie still found it funny. I always think that when we go to watch a movie, we want to have a good time. Don’t take it too seriously, whether the word “retard” or some other offending words are used though these words should not be used in the real world.

Despite ending its run at number one for four weeks, The Dark Knight managed to rake in a total of US$471.5 million to surpass Star Wars [1977] which grossed a total of US$460 million, earning the distinction of being the second highest grossing movie of all time.

My friend recently watched Kung Fu Dunk and she said that one of the lines was very funny and she could imagine what a scene it would be if Gillian Chung was in that role.

That got me thinking, what would people’s reaction be when they watch movies by any of these three actresses, Gillian, Bobo Chan & Cecilia Cheung, involved in the recent sex scandal of the Hong Kong entertainment scene that rocked the Chinese community the world over?

I read on Batgwa.com [FYI, Batgwa means "busybody"] that there are more than 10,000 people per minute in Hong Kong alone, downloading and sharing these leaked sex photos over the internet. So you can imagine the number of people who have already seen these photos and having wild fantasies about “strange, strange stuff.”

In Asian society, I believe that Edison Chen will not get as harsh a backlash as these three actresses, because, he’s “a guy”. If there are still producers who would take on these ladies for new movies, how will movie-goers look at them?

Can their careers survive?

Update: 10th Feb, 2008:
With new sex photos of Edison Chen released this morning of Edison Chen with Gillian Chung, Cecilia Cheung, Bobo Chan, possibly his current girlfriend, Vincy Yeung and a few other women who are yet unidentified, I now think that not only are the careers of these actresses over, Edison Chen’s career as an entertainer in Hong Kong and China is totally bombed too. However, he can move to the Netherlands and be a porn star.
