mother of the bride Joan Chen Runs Away With The Wedding Banquet 04/03/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]
[www.vulture.com]
Joan Chen is on a hot streak. The character actress is always good, sure, but these days, she’s better than good. She was the heart and soul of beloved crowd favorite Dìdi last summer, and now she’s back on the big screen with Andrew Ahn’s forthcoming The Wedding Banquet reimagining, which premiered at Sundance on January 27...
...As an overbearing mother, Chen can do everything — she can make radical acceptance seem scary; she can make emotional intimacy seem terrifying. She brings a much-needed weight to Ahn’s uneven marriage-plot farce, grounding the film with real stakes.

Chinatown Rising 04/03/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]
[www.youtube.com]
Against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-1960s, a young San Francisco Chinatown resident armed with a 16mm camera and leftover film scraps from a local TV station, turned his lens onto his community. Totaling more than 20,000 feet of film (10 hours), Harry Chuck's exquisite unreleased footage has captured a divided community's struggles for self-determination. Chinatown Rising is a documentary film about the Asian American Movement from the perspective of the young residents on the front lines of their historic neighborhood in transition. Through publicly challenging the conservative views of their elders, their demonstrations and protests of the 1960s-1980s rattled the once quiet streets during the community's shift in power. Forty-five years later, in intimate interviews these activists recall their roles and experiences in response to the need for social change.

Why Did Art Flourish During The Tang Dynasty? | Raiders Of The Lost Art 04/03/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]

In the 1960s, archaeologists working in China made an extraordinary discovery. They unsealed the twelve-hundred-year-old tomb of a princess. Its walls were covered in magnificent murals - an unprecedented glimpse into life during the Tang dynasty. This documentary tells the fascinating story of the great Empire that made those murals, of the Silk Road that connected it to the world, and of the rebellions and disasters that brought the dynasty crashing down.

Re: As seen in the videos, they viciously ambush law-abiding civilians like Laughing Hyenas prowling the Serengeti 04/03/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]
This is Canadian Justice at is finest. There exist a video of the attack but Canadian Justice rewards the attacker for bad behavior by dropping charges. It took more than 2 years to get to this point to then have the charges dismissed and should the victim pursue his own claims to damages then it could take another 2 years for his claim to go to trial and by then he will be over 97 years old or dead while the attacker can continue to commit more acts of terror against the community without any repercussions.

T&T Supermarket is opening in San Francisco 04/02/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]
As Whole Foods and Safeway supermarkets
scale back operations in San Francisco, T&T Supermarket and other Asian specialty supermarkets are rushing in to fill the void. As the tech industry flees the Bay Area, the Bay Area is being reinvented if not reincarnated as the new Asiagopolis food destination.
[sf.eater.com]
The Bay Area is amid an influx of Asian grocers opening in the next few years. Besides these two announced locations of T&T Supermarket, the Korean supermarket-slash-mega-food complex Jagalchi debuted in Daly City on Friday, March 28; New York-based Japanese supermarket Hashi Market is set to open its first West Coast location in Cupertino at an undisclosed date; and Tokyo Central debuts in Emeryville sometime this year. Meanwhile, Dublin will get a location each of the Korean grocery stores H Mart and Mega Mart, according to SFGATE.
This means more job opportunities for those who are bilingual or to those who aren't but instead can showcase their talents in the Asian Culinary Arts.
