After a couple of you commented that our previous graphic for Film Friday looked unintelligible, we've swapped it out for our sexy new graphic. And with it we have a sexy new film as well. The language here is a bit more technical than usual, but if you understand it we think you've got an excellent shot at guessing the film. Get your answers in to echo@popupchinese.com as usual for a chance to win big.

On a side note, if you're in Beijing this Sunday afternoon and are looking for some conversational practice, we'll be hosting a free practice session at the Three Trees cafe on Nanluoguxiang from 1:00pm to 3:00pm starting this Sunday. You are cordially invited to drop by. For questions or to get more specific directions, email Echo or call us at 13581709309.

@barrister,

我个人觉得这次的film friday 其实还是相对比较简单的。Just pay attention on the clues we provided...

arg.... what a tough day at work. there are times I pine for being back home in a cubicle. this too will pass though.

@barrister - I thought this was an easy clip. The four sentence phrase there is tricky, but there aren't many nouns with that pronunciation, and once you've whittled it down there's really only one movie it could be. Maybe two or three, and perhaps you haven't seen it, but I found this week's much easier than last weeks. Especially with the other clues.

thanks for the link - just popped up on my RSS feed too. have been following those guys for a few months now, so it's nice to get a mention. also worth mentioning we're producing the dictionary being used by the perakun plugin, so I guess that's two mentions as well.... :)

Wow, this may have been the easiest Film Friday yet.

You know what game I like to play is 6 degrees form Bill Paxton. That is a tough one.

You know Gary Senise has a band called the Lieutenant Dan Band, I kid you not.
