You guys, I've been told I need to do a better job of promotimg my band, so I'm trying my hand at ye olde myspace spamming... Have you ever been friends with a myspace spammer? Have you ever woken up next to a myspace spammer? I figure in the future we'll all probably be robots anyway, so I'm cool with it...

蔡導你好

這幾天紐約區在下雨
我的工作室淹水啦
四周都在滴滴答答的漏水
屋頂暫時沒法修
要等天氣完全放晴才能上去修補天台
我在潮濕的工作室裡面重看了你的"不散"和"洞"
感受完全不同 甚至很難受

思考要面對問題 或是 離開問題

我們可以離開螢幕 逃離那個空間
只是螢幕裡的人無法選擇逃走
只能任由困境折磨
(或許是享受折磨)

最後 總有離開處境的方式
雖然不華麗
但最原始的生存意志卻是很強烈的
最享福的時刻
可能就是最痛苦的當下

謝謝啦

祝萬事如意

By the way, thanks a lot for "I don't want to sleep alone". I asked U these question in a precedent post : "Will your characters end up communicating more freely ?" And I was happy to see that in "I don't want..." Many communication whithout word. Beautifull. U make me cry, and it wasn't sadness, just wonder...
Thanks

Thanks a lot.

The River was an "opening eyes and mind" experience for me - I will surely keep those images, silences and lights until my end.

REALISM, n. The art of depicting nature as it is seem by toads. The
charm suffusing a landscape painted by a mole, or a story written by a
measuring-worm.

Do you know if the Wayward Cloud will get a North American release anytime soon?

Regret to hear that your latest film, which you filmed in your country of birth, will be banned there!

Looking forward to watch it when it premiers in Singapore next month though!

Will you be in Singapore again? I enjoyed your talk the last time you were here, and thanks for the autograph! Also please send my regards to Hsiao Kang.
