My Lives…

Spaceman-Spiff February 17th, 2005

My real life has been good and fun lately, but my online life has been filled with little annoyances caused by some people. They started as little things, but been piling up lately. I feel like shutting down the Internet for a few days.

Nah, that would be too extreme for me. Perhaps I’ll just get off MSN and IRC for a few days.

I’ll miss chatting with some people though…

Anyone still hasn’t tried Gmail?

Gmail gave me 50 invitations to send out. So, if anyone is interested, let me know.

House of Flying Daggers

Spaceman-Spiff February 1st, 2005

Saw House of Flying Daggers yesterday. I think it’s not as good as Hero (by same director). Too much love story and the movie doesn’t conclude well. It leaves many questions unanswered: Whatever happened to the ambush? What is the general like? Who is the Flying Daggers leader? It might be done on purpose, or maybe they’ll make a sequel of it (as my friend, Anna, claims so).
Ending argument (SPOILER WARNING!):

I think everybody (the 3 main characters) dies at the end. It seems more appropriate that way: Andy Lau’s character died alone, while the other two died “together”.
However, Anna claims that the two guys were still alive because she thinks there will be a sequel to it.

In another topic, a new Stephen Chow’s movie is coming. It looks too cartoony from the trailer. I find his new movies not so funny compared to his earlier works.

There’s another new foreign movie coming to North America: Dare mo shiranai [Nobody Knows]. It looks quite promising from the trailer.
UPDATE: After reading more about this movie, it seems that it’s a really depressing movie, just like Grave of the Fireflies. Now I don’t really wanna watch it…
