Has life ever gotten so meaningless that you sometimes leave the office in the daytime to hang around on street corners, return to work hours later, and see if anyone has noticed or cared that you've been gone? Us too! On one of todays prolonged one-man-meetings, we saw Mr. Steven Spielberg near Shanghai Centre on Nanjing Xi Lu, with an eight person entourage. Walking no more than five feet past him, thinking "oh I am glad I forgot my camera today", the question arose whether it might be worth it to sing the Indiana Jones theme tune while leaping around, jumping onto benches and rolling on the ground, then smile at Stevie and wait for the film contract to present itself. The answer was no.
Does anyone know why the man is here so close to the Oscars? To get his banned film shown in cinemas maybe?
Picture from Crisscross news (Spielberg is the one on the right, by the way).
(If anyone wants to see pictures of Zhang Ziyi in that banned film, and it's associated premieres, then you can look here.)

Do you reckon Zhang Ziyi reads the internet? Sigh.
