Zhang Ziyi looking very alluring in 2046

Won Kar Wai’s new movie 2046 is out. I am looking forward to seeing it. If it is like the prequel, In the mood for love then I will be happy.

Synopsis:

He was a writer, He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 ……. BORING and it gets worse

Basically the movie is about a man who thinks about all the women in his life. There are some Sci-Fi sub plots, but they are not important. It is a movie about relationships. The plot is a distant second. If you watch this movie looking for a great plot or action then you will be greatly disappointed. But if you like character driven movies, then 2046 is for you

The official site movie site. Better have broadband because it is one of those slow ‘artistic’ flash driven websites. I hate it.

Monkeypeaches review of 2046

This is a website I like. Quick, simple, lots of pictures and easy to read

Maggie Cheung in 2046. She is without a doubt my favorite chinese actress.

Been trying to get my website working properly in

Internet Explorer 6
It has 95% of the market because it comes with Windows. In terms of features it is the worst browser on the market. Also great for adding spyware, and other junk onto your computer.
In fact I still have some addware on IE that I can’t get rid of. I hate this browser.
It is 2004 and it still does not support TABS ! how backward can you be?

Opera 7.60 beta
A great browser feature wise, very low memory footprint (less then firefox), does not render all pages correctly. A real power users browser. But it takes time to learn how to use it effectively as there are options for everything as well as themes

Mozilla Firefox 1.0
The darling of the geek community.
Designed by minimalists, so a little ugly, but saved by it extensions and themes. A vibrant community produces enough themes and extensions that you could easily waste half an hour a day playing with them all.
As to standards, it has them all, I love it ! The best browser for web development and if you have more then 256mb of RAM the best browser.
If you have less then I recommend either Internet Explorer or Opera because they use less memory.
