Handful of Wax

In America any old Chode can do something dumb and post it on the internet and nothing happens... Dare I say "Nothings Shocking", but in China, little pranks still make a big splash. Take these two for example, these Chodes went to Madame Trousseau's Wax Museum and took these pictures with Chinese Pop Stars and sent them to their friends, who in turn posted them elsewhere, and all of a sudden you have a national outcry denouncing "lewdness". Ah, sweet America where we are free to be Jackasses...

Huo Yuanjia

I saw "Jet Li's Fearless" this weekend. As far as Jet Li's final opus, not his best work, but the simple story translates to a fairly engaging martial arts film. The director Ronny Yu and Jet Li do their best to create depth to the real life character, Huo Yuanjia. The only problem is that many of the fights and events were fictionalized, none the less, Western and Asian audiences alike will most likely be cheering for Jet Li as he goes out kicking and punching. Fearless website P.S. Obviously, this film based on a Chinese national hero, has strong nationalistic tendencies, which will most likely be overlooked by western audiences in search of a "Bloodsport" type of fighting flick, but are quite heavy handed. Although the film looks great on the big screen, I think I actually liked the fight scenes better in Tony Jaa's "The Protector" better.

As if by Magic

As if by Magic With an impressive list of participating artists, the art school of Palestine's show titled "As if by Magic" uses instructions by the artists to have work made on site, with very few of them ever actually touching the work, raising the interesting question of authenticity of work. An article about the show.

Ouch!

Woospace Relaunch

I was noticing that woospace has been down about a month, and was really feeling the loss. So I am preparing to get things rebooted and back online! The last month has been a crazy struggle shifting into a graphic design position and purchasing my first home. Yes, I signed the papers this morning... So things will continue to be hectic for me, but for those who are still interested I am going to attempt to put some content up.

What's going on...

Dear Woospacers, as you may have noticed, things have slowed down here quite a bit. Currently I'm going through a career transition, and the learning curve is cutting into my Woospace time. But I am proud to announce that July 17 was my one year anniversary publishing this blog, and I don't want to give this up. So give me some time, and I promise, once the work transition is over, I will be back publishing on a regular basis. Until then, thank you for stopping by...
