But I have always liked Maggie with Felix regardless, weak spot. It was "Kim Mo Tak Ku Kau Pai" and then I was wishing for more of their collaborations BUT it kept getting in the way, like triangles, etc. So I sort of gave up on that and quit. Then I somehow shifted Deric and Maggie in the end, LOL! Though I did see past pictures of them, but needed to watch the series to get suck into their chemistry, etc. Did you know what I went and did a post of them like yesterday? But it's not posted yet. It's scheduled. SO yeah... <br /><br />But definitely, their fate in series are so frustrating at times though there are cute moments too! (I'm still blaming TVB! I don't care, I still blame them, LOL!)<br /><br />Regarding money/split - I hoped they went for lobster if they had the meal together! OR something worthwhile. But of course Carina had to miss out since she wasn't there like them, LOL! *mwuhahahahha* Okay, getting carried away again. So yeah...DTLCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412002838777406732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-28939873840121344952011-06-09T22:00:50.533-07:002011-06-09T22:00:50.533-07:00@DTLCT: Absolutely!

(Though my purpose for watching GMG was precisely to support Felix and Michael -- plus the more TVB decided to neglect the series, the more I wanted to watch it...LOL!)<br /><br />Haha...Maggie and Deric...(sigh)...sounds like Maggie never fares well when she is in a series with Deric, huh? Either he kills her (LBIA and TBP), causes her to go blind (BOGAE), or she ends up in jail (Conscience)...LOL! BUT I LOVE THEM BOTH!!! <br /><br />I will admit that I also fell for the Leon thing back during the Breaking Point days, but luckily, that was a 'short' phase that I went through and I quickly got over it (plus I had a 'bone' to pick with him on the music side of things, but that's another story)...<br /><br />To be honest, I never really liked the Leon / Maggie pairing -- I got too used to her with Deric and just couldn't imagine her with anyone else...in my heart, no matter who else they were ultimately paired with (in real life or in series), Deric and Maggie together will always be the best couple!<br /><br />LOL! Hey, I'll go with that theory! TVB awards don't mean anything anyway -- if I were them, I would rather have the money so that at least it could be split between them or they could go have a nice 'reunion' dinner together!

Eek! SORRY, I sort of felt he was still rob in GMG so I still didn't pick up GMG again yet. Don't ask, I'm just greedy watching Felix where it was concern. AND like I just said, totally misled me. <br /><br />Yeah, the reasons why. But I have to clarify I did watch 'The Breaking Point' but it was a long time ago so I can't remember as much. But I remember liking Leon and Maggie and then Leon just moved on and then fast forward Maggie came back AND then Deric killed her. For a villain, he has such a bad aim, should have been more precise with his aim so he could hit Leon instead of Maggie. YEAH, I'm fighting a losing battle but oh well...(Did you know that Leon and Maggie did paired up in the movie 'Shogun and Little Kitchen'? It was the one starring Yuen Biao. But then you must have known already. I didn't watch the other Leon & Maggie collaboration though. BUT of course the whole Leon & Maggie thing was just at that time, now? Deric and Maggie! The previous comment said it all!) Talking about that, thanks again for sharing the clip!<br /><br />I have another theory as to who kept the trophy. They sold the trophy and split the money! NICE?

WTH? Yes, please change it for me -- hahahaha!<br /><br />Yes, what you said about Felix is true -- that's why he's able to live such a good life now (as his buddy Michael continues to point out every time they interview together)...the 'royalties' he gets from LOTCH and LBIA are enough to last him a lifetime! And yes -- BEAT THAT, TVB -- how DARE you disrespect Felix after all he has done for your company? Damn management! (Sorry, just had to get that in).<br /><br />Oh yes, I liked "War of the Dragon" too -- but no, that one didn't make it into the count. Ah well -- it was still good though!<br /><br />Oh, that's why you didn't watch those 2 series -- makes sense now...well, I still love both series cuz Deric just does such an awesome job -- and it's good that his villain characters are so memorable cuz that proves that his acting skills are excellent!<br /><br />Hahaha -- I knew you would like the clip!llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-11173254236265781472011-06-09T07:27:43.349-07:002011-06-09T07:27:43.349-07:00OMG, OMG!

LOL!)<br /><br />Awww...Felix still cares so much for his 'messed up bro', lol. 'Cause when they were calling him over, he turned to Deric and motioned for Deric (not just stepping forward without regarding to others, if you know what I mean...) Then I just slided the clip back a bit to watch again (just for kicks) and when they were walking forward to accept the award/trophy (?), Deric was actually placing his hand around Maggie's waist? Okay, I don't know why I notice, but yeah...<br /><br />Regarding how I know some details of LBIA, I read spoilers already, just didn't want to watch it since it seems so frustrating. <br /><br />Regarding who kept it, I think it has to be Felix, right?

Re...@llwy12: You meant The Bund didn't make it? Replace that with 'Love and Passion'. (let me get into my time machine and change it. LOL!) Though I thought The Bund was kind of slow BUT listening to the main theme for 20x times or so did it. <br /><br />The Blood of Good and Evil - You mean Deric didn't sing it? I forgot, did Deric sing it? Though I have the DVD, LOL! And Deric killed Maggie in two of 'em, right? For both 'The Breaking Point' and 'Looking Back in Anger'? (The reason why I don't want to watch LBIA and hates 'The Breaking Point', and that I hate it that Deric portrays the bad guy, especially in 'The Breaking Point'. Okay, 200% bias, but I didn't see the point for that one or watched too long ago and I remember not liking it. I want Leon and Maggie to get together BUT...) <br /><br />Getting back to ratings, LOL! Sorry for the rant but I tend to get so bitter where Deric is concerned (but not bitter towards him). I do remember hearing something about LBIA being one of the highest ratings since I remember reading like Felix was the only one who was able to beat his own record? BEAT THAT, people! (Sorry, had to get that in since my partial to Felix is kind of disastrous at times too.) <br /><br />And wait, what about 'War of the Dragons'? Okay, or maybe I'm biased again since I remember it was pretty intense and was pretty good. Oh well... <br /><br />Another great post...DTLCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412002838777406732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-35299021124722503292011-05-25T23:23:32.999-07:002011-05-25T23:23:32.999-07:00@retrotvb: I'm actually not sure whether they...@retrotvb: I'm actually not sure whether they calculate the ratings the same way in the past as they do now -- I highly doubt it though because I think TVB may have gone with a different company. Plus I crunched some numbers (trying to figure out number of viewers based on ratings points and the math doesn't seem to work out (because if you take the above numbers and convert to ratings points based on 1 ratings point = 63880 viewers, TVB would have to have a rating of 6000 to meet that viewership, which is impossible)....I'm thinking that may be why they switched more to focusing on ratings points rather than number of viewers? <br /><br />Anyway, the reason why I say the numbers may 'pale' in comparisons to today, is because today's system uses primarily ratings points and I know that there have been a few TVB series in this decade that have surpassed the 40 point mark, which I'm pretty sure did not happen back then -- so technically, people can argue that the series I listed are no longer "highest rated", since it's based on a supposedly 'antiquated' system....llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-53730182318725397262011-05-25T23:06:34.403-07:002011-05-25T23:06:34.403-07:00Fun segment!

And having the Looking Back In Anger cast reunited and on stage together was a big highlight. <br /><br />The numbers are astounding. Do they really pale in comparison to the ratings nowadays? Who watches TVB anymore?? I'm not being sarcastic either. It's a serious question. I thought most people moved on to K-dramas or whatnot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
