Yes, I gave it three months, then ceased to pay hosting for the old forum. That's too bad. Really happy I decided to save off the East Asian cinema thread a couple weekends ago.

Saw two great films about family: The Royal Tenenbaums - Liked it a lot better than Fantastic Mr Fox and Moonrise Kingdom, which were nice. Saving Face - NYT review " Juggling Her Chinese Clan, Gay Lover, Pregnant Mom" A stellar performance from Michelle Krusiec and a good one from Joan Chen make this movie.

Taking pictures with an iPad, another reason to mock Sohail Khan.

This article went a long way toward convincing me that pollution, not corruption, is India's biggest problem. It's chock full of scary facts. Beijing’s Bad Air Would Be Step Up for Smoggy Delhi www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/world/asia/beijings-air-would-be-step-up-for-smoggy-delhi.html[...] Experts have long known that India’s air is among the worst in the world. A recent analysis by Yale researchers found that seven of the 10 countries with the worst air pollution exposures are in South Asia. And evidence is mounting that Indians pay a higher price for air pollution than almost anyone. A recent study showed that Indians have the world’s weakest lungs, with far less capacity than Chinese lungs. Researchers are beginning to suspect that India’s unusual mix of polluted air, poor sanitation and contaminated water may make the country among the most dangerous in the world for lungs. India has the world’s highest death rate because of chronic respiratory diseases, and it has more deaths from asthma than any other nation, according to the World Health Organization. A recent study found that half of all visits to doctors in India are for respiratory problems, according to Sundeep Salvi, director of the Chest Research Foundation in Pune. Clean Air Asia, an advocacy group, found that another common measure of pollution known as PM10, for particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in diameter, averaged 117 in Beijing in a six-month period in 2011. In New Delhi, the Center for Science and Environment used government data and found that an average measure of PM10 in 2011 was 281, nearly two-and-a-half times higher. Perhaps most worrisome, Delhi’s peak daily fine particle pollution levels are 44 percent higher this year than they were last year, when they averaged 328 over the first three weeks of the year. Fine particle pollution has been strongly linked with premature death, heart attacks, strokes and heart failure. In October, the World Health Organization declared that it caused lung cancer. [...]

Couture investment - when in-between endorsements, just scrape away more of the gold and sell it.

TVB Now Accepting New Programming Ideas from Public www.jaynestars.com/news/tvb-now-open-for-public-to-submit-new-programming-ideas/TVB announced details to its “Unleash Your Creativity” <2014打開創意天空> project at a press conference held yesterday. Facing declining ratings and harsh criticism over the quality of its television programs this year, TVB hopes to source fresh ideas from the public and put it to production. Helmed by TVB’s assistant General Manager Peter Au (區偉林), the project encourages the Hong Kong public to submit proposals for dramas, food shows, travelogues, and other creative programs for TVB to produce. “We want to open new doors and attract new talents,” said Peter Au. [...] Encouraging Hong Kong’s creative minds to help TVB’s competitiveness in the international market, TVB will begin accepting program proposals from January 22 through March 31, 2014. Genres and programs of all kinds are accepted, but submissions must abide by Hong Kong’s broadcasting guidelines. It is encouraged that the new ideas are sustainable and extendable, with programs that appeal to younger audiences being preferred. The proposal must include a detailed introduction of the idea, its main subject matter, a summary of contents, a message, a filming format, its feasibility, and an estimated production budget. Proposals can be written or recorded in video. Accepted proposals will be approved for a pilot episode, which will be aired during the summer time on TVB’s J2 channel.

My Lucky Star (China, 2013; Zhang Ziyi, Leehom Wang) -- Prequel to Sophie's Revenge, not quite as good but very much from a woman's POV, so may be of interest.

Saw two films from Spain and didn't care for either: I'm So Excited - Almodóvar's film, a metaphor for Spain in crisis. Timecrimes - A metaphor for adultery.

People missing angsty Tamil movies will be glad to hear of the Telugu film "Emo Gurram Egara Vachu".
