New York Asian Film Festival 2012: Doomsday Book, Monsters Club, Guns N'Roses, & Wu Xia. Since its relatively humble beginnings at Anthology Film Archives (not to mention the long-defunct ImaginAsian), the New York Asian Film Festival has emerged as quite possibly the most sheer fun of all the major New York film festivals. Go to just about any one of its screenings—especially any one introduced by Grady Hendrix, one of its founders and still its official voice—and you'll immediately be startled by its proudly rowdy spirit, a far cry from the usual buttoned-up "official" nature of most other film festivals. Plus, there are the prizes that Hendrix and his fellow Subway Cinema cohorts often give out at screenings. Above all, though, it's the selection of films—with a marked emphasis on genre pictures and other sorts of unabashedly commercial entertainments—that distinguish the NYAFF from other film festivals of its type, especially in New York.

There are about 50 movies at this year's festival, its 11th edition. We Like it Weird. Nordstrom: Free Shipping. Free Returns. All the Time. Biosphere (musician) Jenssen was born on May 30, 1962 in Tromsø, a city within the Arctic Circle in the northernmost portion of Norway. He would later become famous for his "arctic sound". Throughout the late 1980s, Jenssen used the moniker Bleep, under which he produced various 12" records, now releasing records via the Crammed Discs subsidiary SSR. His early influences were from acid house and New Beat music. Released in 1990, The North Pole by Submarine was the only album recorded as Bleep. Further singles followed in 1990 and 1991 before Jenssen abandoned the Bleep moniker and took a distinct change in artistic direction. Following the release of The North Pole by Submarine, Jenssen chose a new musical direction and began releasing his music as Biosphere on obscure Norwegian compilation albums, marking a major stylistic change as well as avoiding any association with "bleep house" (as made popular in the early 1990s by the Sheffield UK-based Warp Records).

Bell's listeners about seeing a brilliant light in Nevada near Reno, while driving to work. ''I pulled over to the side of the road and timed it from Carson City to Pyramid Lake, about 77 miles.
