Кино урлаг шүүмжлэл эмэгтэй хүний нүдээр


Latest and as always finely executed text from Rey Chow. This time her theoretical musings flutter around classical, but never thoroughly exhausted leitmotiff of sentimentality and cinema. The subject of her study evolves around cinematic images from contemporary chinese selection already familiar to worldwide audience such as In the Mood for Love, Happy Together, and with post-scriptum about Brokeback Mountain. Borrowing from Nietzsche (hot the true world ultimately became a fable)she discusses individual auteurs in conjunction with vast theoretical knowledge on the phenomena of sentimentalism and its cinematic explorations. Truly every time I read her works my humble intellect goes "Ah that is what it is".

So I Started Revolution from my Bed . . .


Lately there have been a lot of studies and speculations conducted in relation to happiness and productiveness. Companies are launching relationship counselors, marriage consultants in hopes to boost overall performance in accordance with psychological hypothesis that a happy worker is usually productive one-hence blurring once established lines between private and professional life.

We should note here that most of drugs that target depression and melancholy are usually engineered to induce happy hormones in all its deverse formulae. Talking about happy hormone, here's one called oxitocin released during active engagement with your significant other, whether in kissing, hugging touching, or orgasm. So does it mean my typically blue mondays better endured if there was enough weekend snuggling? hmm interesting. . .shall I launch my businees right from my bed?

Call it True Romance


"I had to come all the way from the highways and byways of Tallahassee, Florida to Motor City, Detroit to find my true love. lf you gave me a million years to ponder, l would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit would go together. And to this day, the events that followed all seem like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. l kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and everything seemed so shitty. And he'd say: "That's the way it goes. But don't forget, it goes the other way too.'' That's the way romance is. Usually that's the way it goes. But every once in a while, it goes the other way too" From film True Romance by director Tony Scott, music Hans Zimmer, story by Quentin Tarantino
