Okay okay so they won...
...And people are just going nuts outside right now... They want to break things, burn things and celebrate, and police is firing rubber bullets. It's gonna be a long night.

I hope I don't suck to say this but these Asian children are creepy
The Korean folks, I'm Chinese. Would you mind telling me why Asian parents all love making us like little scary, nightmare-inducing monsters? They remind me of The Ring (movie)! This is borderline child abuse... ugh!
What makes China so afraid of Google?
Google means way more than just a search engine. There's far more than that. It puts people's memory together. Can you not be amazed how powerful it is when it comes to facilitating every user to contribute their own little pieces of history to the nation's? "Open collaboration" are the words in the red rectangle on this Google Map with locations of the tanks, students, journalists, fire, Deng Xiao-ping and so forth. For some people, openness and exchange are two extremely frightening concepts.

I think I'm going to try to catch my favorite, Resnais's new film this Thursday night instead. Actually this month there are just too many good movies out, without even mentioning the L.A. Film Festival.
PREVIEW SCREENING: WILD GRASS
Director: Alain Resnais
Writers: Alex Réval, Laurent Herbiet
Cast: Sabine Azéma, André Dussollier, Anne Consigny, Emmanuelle Devos, Mathieu Amalric
Widely acclaimed at its Cannes world premiere, the latest film from France’s master of space-time intrigue Alain Resnais may be his headiest concoction in decades. Racked by a mid-life crisis, George becomes obsessed with the owner of a mysterious purse that he chances upon: an aviatrix with a shocking red hair. As he tries to track her down, he becomes enveloped in a mystery of his own making. With its lush widescreen camerawork, playfully free-floating montage, and imaginative tonal shifts, Resnais’s latest mind-bending journey finds this 87-year-old filmmaker in peak form. “Sublime..Resnais’s finest work to date.”—The New York Times.
