Love Story in Taipei

On my flight back to LA, I saw a Taiwanese movie called Snowfall in Taipei (台北飄雪). It sucked. The guy and the gal stare and pose, and nothing happens. Argh. If I were the director, here is how the story would go...

Ah-Jen (阿珍)and Ah-Long (阿龍)are kind hearted but lonely souls... and one winter day in Taipei, despite the once in a millenium heavy snow, they wandered to Raohe Street Nightmarket (饒河街觀光夜市)in search of their favorite food, stinky tofu! At the entrance, they each took a sniff of that sweet stinky smell and suddenly their eyes crossed...

They continued to stare cross-eyed at each other as they passed a bunch of food stands...
Finally, they reached the peppercorn bin stall... But alas, there was only one bin left... so Ah-Jen gingerly looked up to Ah-Long and said: you wanna share? Ah-Long couldn't believe his luck and replied, sure!
And so, it was love at first bite. Chomp! What do ya think of my script? Shall I submit it to a Hollywood studio?
