...scenes, and took out a few other scenes to compensate, because we are in a rush to catch the deadline of Cannes, so that version the sound and also the music is not perfect. We improved it, and also the special effects of the film. All this CG works hadn't been complete during Cannes. We put all the things that were supposed to be in the film back in their right place. Part of the delay is because I am working with CGI for the first time in my career. This is something beyond my control, and there...
...TIME: Does that help explain why 2046 took so long to complete, if it really is the final section of the a story you've been working on for almost 15 years? If Cannes hadn't been last May, would you still be working on it? Wong: The thing is, when you say stop, and it's the end of the film, it doesn't mean it's the end really. Sometimes it means you are running out of money or running out of time. Like Days was supposed to be two parts. And Mood, the story should...
...Charles Krauthammer argued that after the President's success in Afghanistan and a continued hunt for al-Qaeda, he could have sat back for two years and "coasted to re-election."

In June, when asked whether Howard's Liberal-National government or Latham's Labor opposition could better protect the country, 50% of voters polled favored the Coalition and 26% Labor. When he was elected Opposition leader last December, Latham trailed the P.M. on that question 21% to 58%. A few days...
...contentious plan to bring home the troops still in Iraq hadn't been prominent in Latham's campaign before the blast; now, says pollster Rod Cameron, it's a discussion he'll find impossible to avoid. "The political argument will come back to that: Have you changed your mind about the troops? What about Spain?" Labor has long argued that having troops in Iraq has made Australia more of a target and damaged regional goodwill and cooperation against terrorism. Howard has painted Labor's plan as a cop-out in a necessary war, though his deputy, National Party leader John...
