It's actually A Story of Floating Weeds AND Floating Weeds. Ebert does a commentary track for the latter and Donald Ritchie for the former.

Heard Steve Chasman and Jason Statham on The Transporter today. Decent track but nothing very exciting. It's average.

Tomorrow, probably Ronny Yu on The Bride with White Hair.
