Wang ^ 2

Achtung baby does a big review on Wong Kar Wai. His new movie Eros, in which he does one of the three stories, is being released. The movie also has segments by Michelangelo Antonioni and Steven Soderbergh. The best bit is when this IndieWire review use the word "Wongian". The Wang sis so going to save that as word-of-the-month. Cause even though to the common English spelling the Wang and Wong are different, but in the mother tongue, Wong Kar Wai and I share the same last name. And also Mr. Luna links an interview to Time Asia with Wong Kar Wai with cool stuff like:

Wong: There's always a myth thing that we don't have a script or that everything is improvised. But that's not true. Most of the actors, when they join the production, they know their story. They don't know their whole story, but they know their chapter. Like Zhang Ziyi, because she knows she's going to play a ballroom dancer in the 60s, and she doesn't have any idea what that is. She's coming from a totally different background. I have to give her a lot of homework. I have to give her all of these films from the period, so she can understand the gestures, the actions. And also I give her all the costumes, because she has to get those manners down. So she simply took all the costumes back to the hotel, and wore them everyday until she was comfortable in them.

And this:

T IME: For a filmmaker whose work is so consumed with desire and its frustration, you seem remarkably hands-off about actually showing sex. Why is that?
Wong: I think to describe a so-called love scene, or intercourse is very boring. There must be a point to your focus. Like in Eros, it's always about this person's perspective. It's about the hand, instead of the actual act. In 2046, the only physical relationship between Tony and the women is the story between him and Zhang Ziyi. The reason we want to have three parts of that story is because the character of Tony is always thinking about his past. And sometimes he has a fantasy about the future, but he's always missing the present. And that's why he wants to change, he wants to have physical contact, very solid relationships with someone else, and that woman is the woman next door, Zhang Ziyi. He wants to change, he wants to have direct contact with someone, another person. So his story with Zhang Ziyi is entirely straightforward, there are no second thoughts. He just wants to believe by instinct. And afterwards, when things don't work out well with Zhang Ziyi, he goes back to talking to himself, and writing. Writing is a way to have a dialogue with yourself. You can never compete with something in the past, in memory. Like some people said, we love what we can't have. In this world, the end becomes the beginning. It's very unfair for anyone around him [Tony] in the present, because they can never compete with his imagination or his memory. We love what we can't have, and we can't have what we love.

Death by Caffeine, figure out how many cans of ur favorite caffeinated drink it takes to kill u.

Remember long ago u would ride through the hill of Naboo on ur bird-like mount, watching the sunrise. As u hunt with cross profession in bounty hunter, Scout and little bit of medic? Well no longer will that happen any more as SWG is going to re-harsh their system, to something COMPLETELY different. U know when u have to re-vamp a system, twice at this lvl… I seriously consider what the hell u felt about ur original work in the first place. Or u know, maybe SWG 2?

Good firend from Hawaii, Foxmouser pulled off another creepy yet fascinating costume for holloween, The Doll suit, #3. The Wang can only describe it as a merging of some sort of doll/cenobite pleasure on display thing going on…

Night everyone, tonight, the Wang is going to see indie rock goddess, Liz Phair. So the rest of u can just enjoy this. And for u kids, a picture of the day:
