movies: 2003 Archives

today, 2/28, was Peace Memorial Day in Taiwan.

updated my web page today. a much-needed, long overdue overhaul. added my logan essay, rearranged, etc. but it’s only half done. who knows when i will have the chance to do it again? lots of homework.

another movie, 見鬼. The Eye, I think. liked it, but perhaps not enough to watch it again. would have enjoyed it more if i didn’t get the dialogue in stereo—Cantonese on the right, Mandarin on the left. I need to watch more Cantonese movies.

in stark contrast to the taiwanese lexicon class, the language typology and universals class is quite interesting. i'll have to brush up on things like ergativity, but prospects look good.

i saw 三更 (Three). it has three movies, the third one is called Going Home. it has 黎明 (Leon Lai) in it. it's very strange, but i liked it. the first one is Memories, a korean movie. i liked that one too. they're both kind of disturbing in a way that makes you think a bit afterwards. but all very well done.
