3月25日 Old Video of a Hippo's AssI'm super-stressed lately. Too much negative shit happening. Can't focus on my Chinese practice.
Here's an old video of a hippo's ass I took at the end of last summer:
3月19日 Director Anthony Minghella diesBritish film director and writer Anthony Minghella has died aged 54.
Minghella's films included The English Patient - which earned him an Oscar for best director in 1997 - as well as Truly, Madly, Deeply and Cold Mountain. He suffered a haemorrhage in London days after having surgery for cancer of the tonsils and neck, his US agent Leslee Dart said. 3月18日 There Will Be Blood (on your shirt)Raining again in Wuxi today - nice and wet, just the way I like it...
The pavement in wuxi is made of tiles, so whenever you step on a loose one on a rainy day, it splashes water all over your shoe, pants, etc. It's like something out of a slap stick film. And imagine the dirtiest water you've ever seen. The road I walk down every day is HouXiXi - also one of the dirtiest streets in downtown Wuxi. There's rubbish, meat-on-a-sticks all over the ground, heaps of rubbish food after the restaurants close. So of course the Chinese traditional medecine hospital entrance is also on the same street. Keepin' it clean.
Most buildings on the street are scheduled for demolition, but they're scheduled for demolition since... same time last year.
Apparently, our school wants to hold a meeting about us using uniforms. Oooooooh boy.
What was that movie called? "There Will Be Blood "? 3月14日 Sympathy for Lady VengeanceFrom CHUD.com, your best source for film news...HOW VENGEFUL IS CHARLIZE THERON?
 I can't quite explain why I don't cringe at the notion of a Sympathy For Lady Vengeance remake the way I did for the potential Americunizashun of Oldboy. On most days I think Lady Vengeance is the better film. But I since it doesn't have the instant recognizance of Oldboy, maybe it's that I don't harbor suspicions that a remake is only the result of a studio trying to latch onto what was (for some) the movie of the minute. Or maybe it's that, despite the title and basic premise (a woman released from prison recruits former prison associates to help her orchestrate a revenge scheme) this isn't as personal a story as Oldboy. Lady Vengeance has a broader take on the impact of vengeance and what it can mean to a group of people, not just to an individual. That leaves it open for wider successful interpretation; a lot of things can change, either cultural signposts or the actual plot and character, and you'd still have a movie worthy of the title. Or maybe it's just that I know Charlize Theron can act when she wants to, so when she mentions remake potential to Boston.com (as noted on Bloody Disgusting) I don't get that sinking feeling. This is just talk right now, and we all know how much luck has befallen the Oldboy remake, so there's plenty of time to grab Tartan's Lady Vengeance DVD and make it (deservedly) your new movie of the minute before the real shit hits the fan. UPDATED! If you like the idea of Theron starring in this remake, you're not alone. According to MTV, original director Park Chan-Wook was the guy that suggested she try it. Does that put a different spin on things? “He made an almost perfect film," Theron says, "[but] he came to me and said he really wanted us to do this. He wanted to see that story told in an American society. If he wasn’t so encouraging I don’t think I could go through with it. We’re intimidated almost beyond belief.” She also says that the project is in "very, very early stages of development," so it might not ever happen. Now I'm so much more intrigued. 3月13日 I form the head like VoltronI saw a few great Chinese films lately. Let me tell you about 'em, because all three of 'em are not 'mainstream' films to come out of China, and are mostly censored here in the mainland.
我看了3个中国电影。我要告诉你。。。
First up, Les Filles Du Botaniste (french title, English title: The Botanist's Daughters)
The film is about an orphan that travels to Yunnan province to study botany with a famous prof. She falls in love with his daughter, and soon the relationship complicates when the Prof's son returns from his barracks in Tibet and chooses the orphan as his wife. Needless to say, it's a story of forbidden love between two beautiful women. The ending is very tragic indeed, as you well know, homosexuality is considered a 'disease' in China at the time of this story. It's a French film essentially (with full-frontal nudity, as is their trademark) but directed by a Chinese director. It had to be made in Vietnam due to its content and story. An excellent film, touching, tragic and terribly arrousing!
So Close to Paradise. This film takes place, I guess... in Beijing. Two guys from the countryside wind up in the big city - one is a pole carrier, doing hard-labour for peanuts. The other better dressed, better off engages in crime. Both are not particularly smart and plan a kidnapping of a cabaret singer (and prostitute) to ask for a ransom. Things go awry and the better dressed of the two falls in love with the singer. You can guess where things from there. Also banned, cut and censored, this film reveals some of the poor hard-labourer's lifestyle and the dressing and atmosphere is generally more interesting than the main plot, but the characters are interesting in themselves.
Histoires de Cannibales (We're Going To Eat You! is the English title, which is really revealing - it's the only Chinese Horror film I've ever seen. The story revolves around a police officer who goes to an island of cannibals who feast off strangers - literally. The film is a strange mix - gore, kung-fu and slapstick comedy. This is a Tsui Hark film after all. I'll let the trailer speak for itself - the film uses music from Dario Argento's SUSPIRA too...

and more!
Yes, this picture, if you look closely at the lower left corner, has syringes. In a remote corner of a park under the new bridge, I found this crackspot. Well, next time one of my students fervently denies drug use in China, there will be this too prove, that its a worldwide phenom, China too...
