The subreddit is currently restricted by Reddit, we'll try to resolve the issue soon.

We can't make the sub public, it's upto reddit to resolve the issue, we're trying to get them to make it public.

(IMPORTANT) This sub is at risk of ownership change

Hi, your (totally) favourite mod here. Recently Turkmen lost access to his account for a bit that booted him off from the mod list in this subreddit, and I was left as the only mod in this subreddit, effectively making me an "owner"

However though, that's not really what it seems at first, because all my mod powers are limited due to my inactivity, as unfortunately, i got a life now thanks to the fact that i am in university and i don't got the same amount of time to moderate as i used to be able to do during the 2Asia days

I haven't been able to try to be active again to regain all my mod powers to readd Turkmen back because of that, and now we're at a point where me and Turkmen won't have any power to this subreddit anymore.

And so, i propose a plan: Keep posting random nonsense for the next 1-2 month, so that i can approve all of them and Reddit can unflag me as inactive, so i can invite Turkmen back

This is very crucial to the subreddit's existence, as we're the only 2 people keeping 2Asia's legacy going despite having less manpower than the sister subreddits like r/balkans_irl for example, and so, i kindly ask all of you to help partake in this, even if it sounds outlandish 🙏🙏🙏

Turns out, being kind does reward you

I wish i was joking, but nope, it did happened

Never felt so satisfied dropping it for the first time, especially after commending someone on dropping it

A lesser known movie stuff: Chow Yun-fat (of Hard Boiled and the Killer fame in the West) had his first international film role in a 1983 Thai film called Katanyu Prakasit

I couldn't find much verifiable info about the film, but his casting as one of the lead was probably to bank on his fame in Thailand back then as Hui Man-keung from The Bund (known in Thailand as Godfather of Shanghai, or roughly Lord of Shanghai, which aired on Channel 3 at the time and was immensely popular) 3 years before his superstar fame as Mark Lee in A Better Tomorrow

There are alot of clips of this movie online but i wasn't able to find the full synopsis of the whole movie, other than the casting, which featured alot of well-known Thai actors at the time (as the film was financed and made for television by Channel 3 themselves, if my information were to be correct), so i would also like additional info other than what i could dig up
