...love for pop music that bubbles up in the middle of the usual hardcore barrage. The tension reached critical mass on The Colour and the Shape, which alternated between ripping throats and jerking tears. The break-neck changes in style between songs gave the album a brilliantly fractured feel but beat up the listener in the process. The divisiveness of the album only foreshadowed the real-life breakups just over the horizon. After losing two guitarists, a drummer and a record label in the past two years, there truly is nothing left for the Foos to lose. The changes seem...
...soon-to-be-graduating senior, the articulation of this pedantic ideal resonates with what I can only describe as a tragic timbre. As I explore that dark abyss known euphemistically as "The Real World," I cannot help but feel dangerously ill-prepared. Sure, ostensibly I have an ample cache of bankable practical skills--I can put together a mean PowerPoint presentation and can do basic arithmetic with the best of them. But when it comes to answering the really important questions--how to live and what to love--I'm afraid that my performance would fall in the bottom percentiles...
...values which govern my beliefs. In the ethical realm, I pretty much know what I should and shouldn't do. For the comfort of that certainty I have my parents to thank.

I feel like I've walked into the closing scene of a tectonic morality play. Overhead, lights are just swinging into place over the balcony's edge. A crowd of performers is milling in the wings, brocaded and beribboned. In the pit a harpsichordist is bent over his instrument like a hermit at his orisons, wielding the tiny crucifix of a tuning key. A Cupid darts across the unclothed scene, her bow unstrung...
...feel that all independent filmmakers worldwide face the same problems, or find themselves in the same situations. With regard to Chinese filmmakers like myself, there are two main problems: money, a problem shared by all filmmakers, but also censorship, which I face more heavily in China. The American independent film industry faces the same funding issues, but instead of censorship, they have to deal more with the market. Hollywood has a tendency to take over the world, in terms of market share. There are numerous Hollywood movies showing in China, many in theaters through official channels, other via pirated...
