OMG Daniel noooo!

Oh my GOD. It's so hard to sit on my hands and not mock, but I will try. I just have too many things to do, can't afford the time to argue my point with people. So I'll just laugh at the STUPID with a few choice friends on their journals.

Lust, Caution didn't get any Oscar nomination. I think Tang Wei could've squeezed herself into the shortlist for Best Actress. =/ (I still think the film would've been a lot better if they cast somebody that wasn't 錢嘉樂 as that officer person. People probably still think "oh he was so amazing in 烈火戰車!" No, he wasn't. He just had a dramatic death scene. Which was probably why they got him as that character in Lust, Caution.)

Only wrote about 500 words last night although I have so many ideas in my head. There is this one scene I just really really want to get to but it's going to take a while. I'm trying to use it to encourage me to write the beginning parts first.

So, who thinks if I wrote to BBC News asking them to stop using terms such as "the very first time" and "very unique", that they'd listen?

How did Lust, Caution not get a nomination. How. D: *goes to see nominations*

Apparently it didn't qualify for the foreign film category for some reason...

[identity profile] impressioniste.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
:( Because people do not know a good thing, even when it bites them on the ass, apparently.

Something about it not having enough Taiwanese participation to qualify as Taiwan's entry for foreign film category. I wonder if that affected whether it could go for other awards too - I wouldn't be surprised if it did, just annoyed, because I thought film is an art form and for a body that seems to be all about appreciating and encouraging this art form, to rule out something because it used people from other nationalities... that would just be so BACKWARDS.

Good lord, that's crazy. It did get nominated for a Golden Globe and two BAFTAs so I looked into it and according to IMDB, ‘Lust, Caution’ was submitted as Taiwan's entry to the Best Foreign Language Film Category of the 80th Annual Academy Awards (2008), but it was rejected on 17 October 2007 by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences because many of the film's personnel were not Taiwanese. Taiwan substituted ‘Lust, Caution’ with Huai-en Chen's Lian xi qu (2006).

That just strikes me as extremely pointless red-tape, as you said. God, how irritating!

I wouldn't dare mock Pez tonight. SHE CAN KICK ME OUT ON THE STREET. Also she has a chainsaw. Or, err, Tez does. I would fear for my life! :D;;

But I am fearless and can dance for nickels! :( Or whatever you silly people use for pocket change over there in Big Ben land.

I can dance for crumpets!

Don't mind me, I'm seriously brain fried today. >_o

How much is 49.95 in crumpets? Hmmm.

Roughly 82 crumpets, I think.

Depending on where you get them. :D

It is. But I don't do public mocking on my LJ. It'd ruin my carefully crafted perfect image!

OH GOD YOUR REPUTATION.



At least you don't talk about dirty Troika porn offset by a disgustingly cute kitten avatar.

I guess that's MY reputation to uphold. :D

Yeah, well quick slacking. Tarundoru, cock-bite.

Nope. Also the reputation of being raped by Genki and Baba photos.
xiu: perfectassassin @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] xiu 2008-01-23 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Not entirely. I paid for Genki, Baba was forced on me. Therefore I was only raped by Baba sets. :3

[identity profile] impressioniste.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She could never be raped by Genki.

She's far too willing.

Except for the part where he has a penis. :D

You'd totally forget about that for just long enough.

Don't even pretend.

YOU WOULD TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM, NORI.

If you're expecting me to say anything other than, 'Of course,' you're going to be holding your own dick for a while out there in the cold. :X

Look at the vulgar language you made me use on Pez's journal. :(

Lust!Caution being ruled ineligible for best foreign film this year pretty much killed the Oscars for me before any of the nominations took place. I hadn't realised before that 'foreign language' countries could only submit one film each for consideration. It is, at best, patronising.

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2008-01-23 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally. Not to mention that if a film was not shown in LA and had an international cast & crew, then it didn't qualify for any category at all.
