Went to see *Hero* tonight, IMDB:0299977. Nice colors, and I like Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung (they played in lots of Wong Kar Wai movies!). But the plot is simple – a legend is being retold. The color coded scenes reminded me of *Ran* by Kurosawa, and lies as a story element reminded me of *Rashomon* by Kurosawa. The fighting and music was very much *Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon*. So it steals from some interesting movies, but it didn’t grow beyond.
Working on the path_info stuff for OddMuse; remember, the real goal is to get notification of some MeatBall:WebLogTracker working. I currently gave up on weblogs.com and am trying my luck on blogrolling.com. Doesn’t want to work, though.
I’m helping a friend set up an OddMuse wiki as her weblog ¹. She didn’t know anything about HTML and CSS, but loved to spend hours on formating M$ Word documents. It is amazing how quickly such people can learn CSS by reading other people’s CSS and reading online docs. Nice CSS, eventhough I don’t like the Papyrus font too much. This is also a good test to see how usable OddMuse is for non-geeks.
