I went and applied for the Ultimate Blogger “Internet Cage-Match”. Why would I do such a thing? I don’t know, but it sounded fun at the time. And who knows. I have a latent ocean of super-blogging power lying just beneath the surface, maybe it’ll bubble up and I’ll shoot out energy from my chest all Dragonball Z style. Only time, and the substantial bribe I send the judges, will tell.
Watched a couple movies the last few days. Kung Fu Hustle was absolutely, freaking hilarious. It’s rare I watch a movie that I have no idea where it is going to go, or what’s going to happen. The movie’s disregard for reality, and willingness to go right to the edge or reason, is a refreshing change from most of what Hollywood dishes up.
House of Flying Daggers just came out on DVD, and since I never got to see it in the theater, I was in for a pleasant treat. Much like Hero, and Crouching Tiger, the film is visually sumptuous. Though the movie has plenty of action, it is, in the end, a love story, and of course a sad one. But that’s okay. How could it not be okay?
If you haven’t seen them, I recommend them both.

Thanks, Bava. I have been wanting to see KFH, but I was going to put it off to catch the Hitchhiker flick. I’ll have to find time for both now:)
That’s my weekend, right there. Saw House of the Flying Daggers Saturday, and Kung Fu Hustle Sunday. Both quite excellent.
I can’t get enough Ziyi.
