Zhang Yimou’s “Curse of the Golden Flower” with Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li. I had all weekend on think about it. Chow Yun Fat’s first appearance is hilarious since he had a beard. There’s lavish battle scenes with techniques I’ve never heard of, and I was an East Asian studies major! The flick is basically a period piece depicting the 10th century reign of an emperor who wore Liberace beating blinging gold in each scene with the backdrop of drama between he and his family. Stripped down, Zhang Yimou is up to his same tricks, it’s a historical drama with characters who are being sneaky and jealous of each other. Zhang’s muse continues to be the depressed looking Gong Li. But what brings this one up is Chow Yun Fat, and the insane battle scenes and techniques, incredible ninjas, and the insane armor. Gladly the sword play wasn’t overbearing, since we don’t need that anymore… See this one for sure.

Cousin mike got an operation on his arm after years and years of talking about it. A funny story is that right when he came back into consciousness, he started throwing punches at the nurses and spitting. I guess he clocked some nurses but has no recollection of it, it was just a natural reaction of some sort. Throwing punches can make you the talk of the post-op room and you can get away with punching a nurse. What can you say? Sorry? That story is just the warm up. We watched PRIDE which made it’s debut in Vegas. What a great production and show compared to the UFC. It’s a huge difference in talent, and production budget. In the end fighting is fighting, but seeing the Shogun (GR’s 2005 fighter of the year) vs Randleman and Fedor vs Coleman among other great fights made this a great time. It ran about 3 hrs+. A great night for mixed martial arts.
