Hong Kong director Ringo Lam passed away on December 29, 2018, at the age of 63. Along with John Woo and others, he defined Heroic Bloodshed, a subgenre with highly stylized action scenes and themes of honor, friendship and betrayal set in the gangster or cop world of Hong Kong. The works of the genre went on to impress Hollywood directors such as Quentin Tarantino, whose "Reservoir Dogs" was inspired by Lam's City on Fire.

This might be overly sensitive, but as an American in 2018, I feel compelled to suggest adding the word "movies" or "films" to the title? (Best of Heroic Bloodshed Films (RIP...)) If I lived in a civilized country, I probably wouldn't have bat an eyelash but strange times are these. (sigh)
Oh, okay. The title could also be read as if Ringo Lam died in a heroic bloodshed, pardon my lol. I changed it.

Thanks, alby. Oh, yeah, I didn't see that but now that you've pointed it out, I see what you mean, considering the "R.I.P. Ringo Lam."

Hahaha, I just realized I typed "alby." I wonder if I'm channeling "Dibby." Lol.

Alb,
This short answer: yes
Jen and LD set the precedent for tracking two accounts. I will only track multiple accounts on a case by case basis. Jen, LD and you have circumstances that apply.
