To celebrate the release of the steampunk kung fu epic Tai Chi Zero, being released this week on Blu-ray and DVD, I will be giving away 2 DVDs and 3 Blu-ray’s of this fantastic film.

About the film

“From the creators of IP MAN and DETECTIVE DEE, featuring Martial Arts choreography by the legendary Sammo Hung, TAI CHI 0 is the first of a planned Steampunk Martial Arts trilogy. TAI CHI 0 tells the story of Yang Luchan, a young genius who, tired of being picked on, travels to Chen Village to learn the art of Tai Chi. Luchan finds out the hard way that it is forbidden for a villager to teach an outsider. But when a frightening army of steampunk soliders bearing strange machines shows up, the villagers must trust this strange outsider with the knowledge of Tai Chi.

Though it came late in the year, a pop culture moment of 2012 that was relatively overlooked and quickly forgotten (though not on tumblr, which is where I first saw it) was Heart’s rather astonishing cover of “Stairway to Heaven” at the Kennedy Center Honors. It’s not a song I have ever really liked (perhaps it’s one of those another time/another place situations), but boy howdy if it isn’t something to talk about.

Also, Barack and Michelle bobbed to it. So.

Except, if you watch the actual show, they are bobbing their heads to Blues legend, Buddy Guy. And yes, that’s Dustin Hoffman sitting next to the first lady.

This is HUGE!

Panoramas just got a big new view on Tumblr. Try it on your blog, the Dashboard, and the latest iPhone/iPad app too!

This works automatically for super-wide (3:1) high-res (1000px wide) photo uploads. And theme developers can now style panoramas in Tumblr themes with the {block:Panorama} tag.
