There's a movie that y'all should check out. It's a Japanese movie called "Ping-Pong" (don't worry, there are subtitles). It's a great movie featuring a penholder with a bowl-cut (Peco) and his quiet, chopper friend (Smile).

Together they tackle all sorts of issues like personal crises of pride, letting people win, tournaments and such.

There are some pretty cool special effects as well. If you've seen the Chinese movie, "Shaolin Soccer", you'll get the same kind of feel in this movie. There is even a CSI-esque sequence showing the ball bounce off of some long pips.

Go run to your nearest Asian movie store and pick up a copy. You can see the official website at www.pingpong-movie.com.

You can also get shirts with Peco's red star or Smile's blue moon in the PPGEAR store.
