TRAGEDY ON RED CLIFF
 There's a very specific sadness associated with news of death on any film set. We invest emotion and energy in movies, often to an almost absurd degree, but on any broad timeline almost no film counts as essential in any way. To die creating entertainment is a terrible thing. This time tragedy struck John Woo's monumentally-scaled Red Cliff, based on the epic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In northern Beijing a 23-year old stuntman was killed in a set fire yesterday and six others were injured. CNN reports that the scene featured a small boat set aflame, which was meant to collide safely with a larger warship fitted as the day's set. After the collision the fire burned out of control on both ships. Production has halted temporarily. Woo was not on set, which was supervised by his second-unit director. The $80-million production is said to be Asia's most expensive in history, so the shutdown likely won't last long. 6月6日 BLACK_DEMOCRAT.MP3 Goddamn Right!
You know, having lived in Canada, I've been flooded with American TV and media. So, during election times, it's hard not to get excited. This would be one of those moments where I'd be happy to be an American - one of those moments where you think it's possible - it might actually happen!
Good Luck to Barack Obama. He's running on pure class. 6月1日 Superman Dat HoToday is Elsie's wedding, one of our longest running Student Advisors. She's always been a go-to person for questions and help, so to her I offer a sincere congratulations on her continued happiness and success!
What else is new since I haven't posted in EONS? Well, I've got yet another new Chinese tutor. I'm choosy in which kind of tutors I get - I need the right mix of patience, friendliness, expertisem preparation and of course, clarity. If I can't understand half of what's going on, then what's the point, nahmean? Not everyone can do this kind of work. Some people are are just too lazy or too impatient, so you got to move on being courteous, after all, I'm paying for the classes, my money votes for quality.
I had an interesting series of SPCs lately, if I may so myself. Thanks to some of Terry's advice, I've been focusing on universal themes - things that anyone could relate to - broad themes such as Responsibility, Rituals and Traditions, Happiness and so on. I try to find a specific topic that zooms in on a particular facet of those broad themes and it allows us to pull back on it to see the bigger picture. Last time I did a class about 'uncontacted' tribes in the Amazon, and it was interesting, but I still have kinks to work out. All in all, I feel like I've been on top of my game, for now. I want to keep pushing this to see how far I can go with it.
There was a Hip-Hop party at BCM yesterday night that our new teacher, Ian, has prepared. I'm going to BCM tonight for the weekly Pub Quiz. Last time Gary, his gf Lucy, Rob, his gf Lili, and I held our position within the quiz with a solid score, but not a win. Then again, the winning teams had more people than us... not that it matters. It's all in good fun. I don't know if the hip-hop party was any good, but I wouldn't have gone to it anyway because I can't be pubbing twice a weekend. Too expensive. I know that if I'd gone I would've just been around to complain about someone playing DMX's PARTY UP for the 5 billionth time. Not that I know for sure, but DJ adam isn't a name that says: I know what 'knuck if u buck' or 'crank dat robocop' means. jus' saying. I'm biased. I'm a hater. A certified A++ hater...
What would be a killer tracklist for a party in Wuxi? I'd have to incorporate some Jap hip-hop for flavour (Heartsdales, Teriyaki Boyz), some Reggaeton, heavy hittaz like Akon, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Nas, JayZ, Ghostface and so on. I'd want to put in some French hip-hop and lots of gems that I've heard on that way but never heard played out loud. |
