Regardless of your opinion on the Ocarina of Time remake, I think we can all agree that it looks unreal. ;)

Ah yes... Bull Whip.

Godzilla Minus Zero trailer and then Ocarina of Time Remake trailer. What a day.

"Rail Road" is another phrase I struggle. I keep saying "wail woad" like I'm the middle age dude version of Koseki Biboo.

Why is the word "Squirrel" so hard to pronounce! My Chinese tongue is all tied up by fuzzy ass pine rats!

Sometimes I wonder if YouTube also thinks I'm AI, just because of the way I speak.

Goddamnit Niu Lai, you've ruined my sweet memory!

Remembering that time I was in a second-hand camera store in China when a big African dude walked in, yelled "Mama!" with the vigor of a Viking. The shopkeeper went "Aiyo!" and the two hugged before talking business. It was the first time I witnessed the beauty of world peace.

The Mainland Chinese title for the Minions is 小黄人, Tiny Yellow Men, which sounds extremely racist when you translate it back into English for whatever reason.

If this channel ever ends, at least I can stand proud knowing I turned down Raid Shadow Legends 4 times, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened 4 times.

I have nothing against the furry community but ever since I posted about Star Fox, my Bluesky feed has taught me a lot... to a point I'm scared to open Bluesky in public.

TikTok doesn't allow the word kill. English speakers: k*ll Chinese speakers: Blessed the unrest soul into the afterlife (超度) The Chinese way of going around censorship is so much funnier and I wish there's a way to show you without explaining the joke :/

A viewer once told me they were reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms after watching Red Cliff, and were pissed that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu had no bromance. Indeed, when making his two part epic, John Woo made a lot of changes. Just how much? Let me explain: youtu.be/l2zO_1HnuDg

Late night insomniac thought: Why are thongs counted in pairs like trousers. Which parts of it come in pairs??

Here's a business idea: start selling fortune cookies in China! Yes, I know it's not Chinese. But I'll bet you 20 bucks Chinese people will love getting a little fortune after dinner.

The Niu Lai phenomenon has morphed into a debate between two factions: One side insists that the support of badly made movie is unfair to artists who spend years perfecting their craft. The other side calls them snobs. I'll keep y'all posted.

A small scandal is currently floating on the Chinese internet: A certain Harvard law school graduated Chinese idol went on a Chinese variety show and spoke English with an impeccable accent... but pre-school level grammar. And I'm just sitting here, feeling like I have a lot of dirt sI can share 😀

So, in Chinese, the word 牛奶 means "cow milk", so this particular joke is cursed, but only in a Goofy walking Pluto kinda way. But the English word "milk" doesn't indicate the source, so the joke sounds extremely perverted. Anyway, I want you to know that there are now r34 Niu Lai fan arts. Thanks.

I found it! The one movie in which Chinese characters uses English as a verbal costume instead of the other way around. Despite being a Chinese production, the movie is somehow set in LA featuring allegedly bilingual characters. No doubt the decision was made to make the film seem international.

Neil Armstrong never knew one of his greatest legacies live in Chinese public washrooms, where a parody of his famous "one small step" quote is plastered above every urinal, urging men to walk closer to avoid spillage. "One small step forward, one big step for civility".

Two Girls (2024) features a protagonist who not only looks but sounds kinda like Jinnytty. It is as distracting as the movie title itself. The movie's otherwise unremarkable. It's a classic Minnan horror trope about a girl waking up in the past and experience a tragedy from the POV of the deceased.

Niu Lai (lit. Cow Come) was released without a press kit. Movie theaters in China have begun making their own posters. Surprisingly, not an AI in sight, just ppl living in the mement.

Oh good, YouTube broke again. Can't pin comments. Sigh.

A movie called 牛来 (lit. Cow Come) is going viral in Chinese theaters. Rleased with zero advertisement beyond its poster, it grained ¥7000 ($1000 USD) in its first 9 days. But words of mouth spread, and its box office reached ¥2 million (¥300,000 USD) in 2 days. I feel my soul has been summoned.

I don't know what to do. Ever since the beginning of 2026, our channel has been performing unreasonably poorly. Despite having over 500K subscribers, many of our new videos struggle to even reach 50K views, when we used to hit double that number consistently.

Are you curious about how your country is depicted in Chinese cinema? We previously covered depictions of the US, but several other regions appear frequently in Chinese cinema as well.Unlike those of the US, however, these depictions are far more questionable. youtu.be/z_ecMbP-rws

How Chinese Movies Depict the Rest of the World

Expectedly, Chinese state TV tends to be quite formal and scripted. That's why it's so funny to tune into this docu series about archeologists doing field works, uncovering a jade seal from a tomb, and going "damn duuuuuude, that is sooooo sick!" Nerds, man. Nerds.

What's your country's equivalent to American shark movies? For China, it's Jiangshi movies.

Written & produced by historian Yi Zhongtian, Three Kingdoms: Starlit Heroes (2025) aims to create an alternative reading of the historical record, different from the novel. The result is a subpar fanfic that fails to compete with a story that's been refined for centuries. 4/10.

I want y'all to know the most popular pizza topping in China is durian.

The Room (2021) is a Chinese thriller with a Murakami inspired plot combined with a Wong Kar-wai inspired aesthetic. It is perhaps the worst movie of that name I've ever seen, which is quite an achievement considering the competition. Finishing it is feels like I escaped Nutty Putty Cave. Holy f*ck
