jazzbo Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 Okay, I've been enjoying this lovely charismatic actress in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Hero," "House of Flying Daggers," "Musa the Warrior". . . . Any other outstanding performances in film that I should look into? Quote
RDK Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 She was extraordinarily lovely in Hero, no? Quote
vibes Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) That's someone else--Zhang Man Yu (Maggie Cheung is her English name, I believe). Edited March 21, 2005 by vibes Quote
jazzbo Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Posted March 21, 2005 Both of those women are lovely, but Ziyi catpivates my attention. There's Rush Hour 2, as well, she does a nice supporting role there! Quote
king ubu Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 Lon, go see Wong Kar Wai's "2046". I didn't find it an equal to "In the Mood for Love", but it may still be one of the best movies to come out, recently (while "In the Mood for Love" may be one of the best, ever... my opinion, of course, but I gather that - outside of this board - I'm not alone...) A shot from the film: Another still that is from one of the best scenes of the film: Quote

Adam Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 It seems like "2046" is never gonna play in these here United States. I saw a DVD of it at Amoeba, fresh from Hong Kong, and decided to buy it. Of course, I haven't watched it yet. I did get to give Ziyi Zhang a box of popcorn personally at the Telluride Film Festival. B-) She's small and cute, and had a baseball cap on head and a sweatshirt, but didn't stand out. One day (when they showed "House of Flying Daggers") she was there with a small entourage to introduce the film. But the next day she was just there by herself to see another film, and came out to get her popcorn on her own. It seemed like no one recognized her. Prio to doing "Crouching Tiger," she said that hadn't done any martial arts type films. I'm slightly more of a Maggie Cheung person myself. "Irma Vep" "In the Mood for Love" "Hero" "The Heroic Trio" "Green Snake" etc. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Posted March 22, 2005 Yes, It does look as if I'll have to buy a dvd of 2046. I know she's small and cute. . . but I really like her presence on screen. Thanks for the information. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Posted March 22, 2005 I did indeed order a dvd of 2046, a two dvd edition. Quote
Craig23 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Recently saw her in The Road Home in a dramatic role. Very good. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) Well, I got my 2 disc copy of 2046! Looks like a really interesting movie; watched a little bit of the "Making of" film on disc 2. Edited April 29, 2005 by jazzbo Quote
king ubu Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 Enjoy, Lon! While I was absolutely stunned by "In the Mood for Love" and - even more so in comparison - less impressed by "2046", I still think it's a beautiful film and a very special one! Quote
jazzbo Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks Flurin. I'll have to view "In the Mood for Love" one of these days. . . . I think the sort of Phil Dickian aspects of 2046 will satisfy me. . . . Quote
jazzbo Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 2046 is a very interesting film. . . I savored a slow viewing over the course of a week. I really enjoy it. Today I ordered a copy of the new remastered "In the Mood for Love". . . . Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 Everyone else is drooling over the pictures, and I'm drooling over Lon's avatar. You bring back too many memories, man... Quote
jazzbo Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 Yes Mark . . . those 1960 or so Captain Atom stories by Ditko were some of the first comic books I smuggled in to my house at age five and six, and got me started on comics (when Stan Lee started changing the world in 1962 and 1963 with his comics I was an addict. . . still clandestinely because I WAS NOT ALLOWED COMICS til a few years later). Ditko just had this thing up through about 1966 . . . he was a master. I just purchased off ebay "Action Heroes Archives Volume One"--a DC hardback that reprints all the Captain Atom from 1960-1 and most of the 1966 return of the character. . . all Ditko on glossy paper.
