Turns out that Faye Wong had been working on the main theme for the Chow Yun-Fat Confucius film. The song, titled You Lan Cao (幽兰操), was finished on December 31st, and will be released on January 6th for the release of the film.
It is based on the works of the Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu (韩愈, 768-824). The director, Hu Mei, is reported to have described Faye’s rendition as ethereal, as “Communication of the earth and the sky’s beauty.”
…
The new song uses only 64 Chinese characters and is adapted from ancient poet Han Yu’s eulogy on orchids that resonated with the iconic philosopher Confucius.
So, The Hurt Locker keeps on winning people. Best Picture and Best Director seem to be in the bag. Are we looking at the first female director to EVER win an Academy Award? That’s kinda nice… but actually kind of shocking it’s taken this long for a woman to be seriously considered.
And a few surprises too!
Yu Aoi is featured on CMs for U-Can (ユーキャン) a company dealing with distance learning courses and communication, among other stuff. One of the promotional materials is an almost-12-minute short film titled Sute Neko OL, or Stray Cat Office Lady, in which Yu plays Mayumi Yamamoto (?) an office lady who finds a stray cat…
some captures after the break~
Actually, this is the happiest I felt with nominations…
let’s wait to see who wins~~~
However, still important omissions for Moon, as well as Mary and Max. But loads of love for Hurt Locker (7), Basterds (8), and Up in the Air (5), and both Up and District 9 with 4 nods.
It’s been a good year for Sci-Fi.
xD
It was seriously good, and pretty.
it was so effing tasty… the green one had a Guanabana (Soursop) filling, which was my fave. Then there was the chocolate one, and the Lucuma one~~~ The rest, I think, had a sweetened bean paste… which is the most common. We also had a lot of Japanese food, which was popular because we don’t normally get makis, sushi and sashimi on New Year. There was also pancetta with crispy skin (like REALLY crispy, really so effing good). We had sticky rice, spicy jellyfish, sweet potato noodle salad, and egg tarts xD
Food is so good, why would anyone not eat?
Well, it’s last post of the year!!
I’m off to the family’s big Asian dinner as always.
Sadly, no fireworks T.T [watch last year’s here]
We are nearly at the end of our list of 100 Songs of the Decade~~~
Some really great songs on this one, with loads of variety
with music of many genres and different languages.
Two months worth of films to close the year,
let’s hope 2010 brings loads of good ones…
Kinda?
*giggles* sorry, that cover makes me laugh.
It looks like Francophone-DVD distributor Imavision has released the first season. It seems like it’s 10 discs, but I can find no details… I mean, it looks like the first season, but it says the first part, which could be more than the first season… explaining the 10 discs and the expensive price tag.
Also, no info on subtitles or captioning.
This can be purchase through the CBC Shop Online for $59.99 CND (I suppose), at Imavision.com for $69.95 CND, and over at Archambault.ca for $69.99 CND — they do free shipping (international, I dunno) with orders over $39.
They’re a bit pricey. I wonder if I should get someone to get them for me. I expect all DVD material to at least be captioned in its original language… no info here. If anyone does, share!
