| So I haven't indulged in Asian movies for awhile, but watched a couple this past weekend that were pretty good. Raise the Red Lantern
I'd heard of this movie before, so decided to check it out. Raise the Red Lantern felt a lot like Curse of the Golden Flower, with all the backstabbing and trickeration between the characters. I liked both so if you hated Golden Flower, don't bother with Red Lantern. The camera work felt a little artsy, but the old palatial estate it was filmed on was awesome. Sometimes I think Chinese production houses can only do historical martial arts or drama movies well, because our romantic comedies are terrible. Luckily I have Korean production houses to thank for filling that hole. 200 pound beauty
I thought this was going to be like Love on a Diet, Korean style, but it was actually more about plastic surgery. I used it to get free shipping on my yesasia order, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was really good. I think the main actress, Kim Ah Jung looks like the Korean version of Rachel McAdams. It's like the smile/dimples or something, I can't put my finger on it. I wasn't sure if she was a singer turned actress or an actress who sings, but either way she sings really well in the movie. Go listen to "Maria"! | | |
| hahahahaha, I just noticed that Scott Lawrence, aka Commander Sturgis Turner from JAG, is on a Subway commercial. Considering I hated his character on JAG, I'm pretty happy right now. The important people, Catherine Bell and David James Elliott, went on to other shows (Army Wives and Close to Home, respectively), and he went to a commercial. That's karma.

| So apparently in a few weeks I'm going to be on to my third Xbox 360 in 2 years. Console started freezing on me for some reason yesterday, so called in a repair. You know how people say that stuff tends to break immediately after the warranty expires? Well, apparently my warranty had expired yesterday. Yes, literally one day ago. Conspiracy theorists couldn't have timed it any better. I was thinking about pitching a fit and screaming about how I'm in the same industry and we have to rub each others backs and how other Microsoft products have been the bane of my existence at work (yeah I'm looking at you, IIS), but but the tech support guy (in India somewhere) offered a free repair without any pressure, probably since he noticed I had sent my last console in for the Ring of Death issue. Hopefully they'll get it right this time, because I don't want my 360 breaking in the middle of a Halo 3 marathon. I'm going to be out of a console for about 2-3 weeks, but I guess that just means I'll be getting some more sleep in the meantime.
I've escaped your iron grasp for now, Madden 08...

| "Hypothetical" situation: You're invited to a wedding. You head out with plenty of time, but get horribly lost. So lost in fact that by the time you get to the church parking lot, you're half an hour late. Do you: 1. Try to sneak into the church, knowing that you're most likely going to come in during the ceremony and there's an off chance you'll interrupt something (or like in the movies/tv shows/commercials, come in during the "if anyone objects... part").
2. Go directly to the reception afterwards, even if you didn't go to the ceremony.
3. Head for home. I'm not saying this happened to me, but let's just say my Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS system just shipped. | | |
