Hong Kong citizens wave flags of China and the Hong Kong Administrative Region as they watch the flag-raising ceremony
in Hong Kong on the morning of July 1, 2007, the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China.

Who cares?
It may be billed as the day of the decade, but, really, who is excited about the 10th Anniversary of the reunion of Hong Kong with China?

Justin Lin's latest action film - for Sea-Doo
From angryasianman.com:

justin lin takes on fast and furious... jet skis?

Remember those BMW Films from a few years back? It was nice attempt at melding art and commerce for a pretty cool marketing campaign. Basically, they got a bunch of "hot" filmmakers from Hollywood (and beyond) to direct a series of short films starring Clive Owen, "The Hire." They were essentially just a bunch of really long commercials, but they were cool. Anyway, it seems that Sea-Doo has enlisted our man Justin Lin to do something similar... with the jet ski. I'm serious. The Shortcut is a 3:33 short film by Justin Lin showing you how awesome the Sea-Doo watercraft is, with speed and stunts and water and all that. With a surprise ending!
