  Running on Karma (2003)
Offbeat and powerful, Running on Karma is an unexpected genre mishmash which disobeys most rules of commercial filmmaking, and yet succeeds spectacularly.
Running on Karma, while possessing of commercial attributes, goes as far in the opposite direction as you could possibly imagine.
Karma is portrayed as inexorable and a force beyond man's will, and the characters' struggle with this truth is where the richest drama occurs.

  La Paw Spa - Karma's Story   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
She was running full speed and ran into the stump of a recently cut tree, which was sticking about 10 inches out of the ground, but hidden in clumps of grass.
Karma was then diagnosed with damage to the nerves of her brachial plexus from the blunt trauma of the injury.
Karma is alive today because I had the means to stop the bleeding, immobilize her and stabilize her enough to move her to the vet.

 Dave’s Blog » Spam Karma 2.3
External plugins (including those bundled with Spam Karma 2) are the property of their respective developers and, by default, subject to the same distribution rules.
What this mean in practice: Spam Karma is “free software”, in that it is absolutely free to download, free to use and even free to tinker with (although I typically would require any modifications made to it to be clearly indicated to potential users).
I run a couple of WordPress blogs on the side, and both of them are using the Spam Karma 2 plugin to ward off the sort of garbage that besets all of us with our own soapboxes.

 Chinese Movie Review | Running on Karma (2003) Andy Lau, Cecilia Cheung
Cheung hasn't been around since the South Korean film "Failan" (possibly her best work to date), but this is the first film I've run across where she is not wearing a period costume and a man name Wong Jing is nowhere in sight.
Andy Lau ("Running Out of Time") stars as an unnamed man who used to be a Shaolin monk before a tragic event drove him into the cities.
In fact, much of "Karma's" Third Act feels heavily inspired by Tykwer's "The Princess and the Warrior"; and there's even some of the dreamy vibe of his "Heaven" thrown in.

 KARMA MW
KARMA® (Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music Architecture) is a patented algorithmic MIDI data generating technology that takes input notes and controller movements and generates complex musical phrases and effects.
KARMA provides independent real-time control over various aspects of a musical phrase, such as rhythm, duration, accents, chord density, pitch bending, tonal variation, panning, repeats, randomization, etc. You can think of it as "an arpeggiator on steroids," although even that description doesn't do it justice.
KARMA MW generates MIDI, sends it to the Karma, and you simply record the audio outputs of the Karma into whatever audio recording device you normally use.

Still slightly doubting myself, Running on Karma continues to gratuitously pound in and glorify the advancement in body suits.
Still the key aspect is (I’ve been waiting to use this) the film runs on karma as the consistent message.
Running on Karma is still definitely worth seeing weirdness and all.

 Running On Karma
For 'Running On Karma' his performance is once again first rate as his uniquely quiet on-screen persona is very befitting for his role as a monk although his bad boy elements do also get the opportunity to shine through when he lets his emotions get the better of him.
Ever since I first saw Cheung in 'King Of Comedy' she has continued to impress and it's nice to see here that she is given the chance to play a female lead with a real personality who is not afraid to take control of her own destiny.
For me, 'Running On Karma' has to be one of the most well presented and scripted pieces to emerge from Hong Kong in recent years and clearly shows that the industry is back on track.

 Asianmovieweb | Review: Running on Karma
Yee doesn't know that Big can read the karma of living beings and what Big saw when he was concentrating on Yee did alarm him.
This is also what makes "Running on Karma" so hard and sometimes frustrating to watch.
"Running on Karma" is everything but your average Hong Kong flick, as the movie has almost a comic-like style because of its over the top flying Kung Fu sequences in a modern city, musclebound Lau and the mystery- and religion aspect.

 What Goes Around, Comes Around: Infernal Affairs II and III and Running on Karma
Running on Karma (Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai, 2003) is the latest film from Johnnie To, a filmmaker who has been instrumental in keeping Hong Kong cinema commercially viable for the past few years and arguably paved the way for an industry capable of making Infernal Affairs (Alan Mak and Andrew Lau, 2002).
Running on Karma is also a star-driven vehicle, with the aforementioned Lau accompanied by Cecilia Cheung.
In Running on Karma, this actor's other incarnation is similarly both analyst and patient, if the co-presence of one's former life could be diagnosed as schizophrenia.

While being booked, Big sees a vision of Yee's death, and (due to lingering pain over the loss of his one true love) decides to help her crack a case involving a mysterious yoga master who is implicated in a murder.
Running on Karma is To's best work in years, and I will go so far as to say that it is without a doubt the best picture of the year, from both the US and Hong Kong.
But Running on Karma is so good, it stacks up well against most every other movie, even those produced during Hong Kong's much-ballyhooed "golden age".

 The Pinocchio Theory » Blog Archive » Running on Karma
Running on Karma is the latest Johnny To film I’ve seen, thanks to SIFF.
To at one point uses what might be called the inverse of a shock cut, as he cuts from a brief image of her impaled head to the pastoral images of one of these flashbacks.
I don’t know enough about Buddhism or Chinese culture to know if the sentiments expressed are anything more than cliche — Yomi says they are total crap — but the concluding sequences worked affectively for me. Whatever sense of peace Lau’s character comes to, this sense remains haunted by Cheung’s absence.

 Running On Karma
At this fairly early point in RUNNING ON KARMA, little had gotten revealed as to what this Johnnie To and Wai Ka Fai co-directed film would daringly develop into and where it would eventually go.
For example, Big was able to discern that the Indian murderer and murder victim had had connections to each other and also a Chinese woman (who would lose her right arm) in this life but also, and albeit in different forms (including a beetle), in a previous incarnation.
More saliently for a larger portion of RUNNING ON KARMA, he also could see Lee Fung Yee’s having spiritual links with a Japanese soldier who had murdered and decapitated many people in his life.

 Running On Karma - DVD review
What starts in the strip club scene is very lighthearted but quickly the piece turns into a thriller with burst of gory violence, mixed in with comedy, a decent romance, wire enhanced kung fu and a philosophical nature to the narrative involving karma, or rather the the laws of karma.
Personally I enjoy To's work the most when that style is on display and while Running On Karma shares some of the quirkiness, it's actually very far from it but with one positive point.
However, with Running On Karma he finally makes a standout collaboration with Wai Ka-Fai while at the same time not catering to the general moviegoing audience.

Without a doubt, Johnnie To and Wai Ka Fai (The Mission) are the most talented filmmakers still based in Hong Kong, and with Running on Karma they deliver their strangest work to date—and one of the coolest films in years.
Although the global festival circuit is still focused on the gritty underworld thriller PTU, the team’s excellent earlier film, Running on Karma, is far more interesting, complex and challenging.
Big is also gifted with the ability to psychically see the past life of a person (or an animal) and judge the affect Karma will have on their current incarnation.

In other words, karma is used as a "divine mandate" for man's tendency toward pecking-order social pyramids; it's control-oriented balderdash used to exploit, a corruption as pernicious as the original sin guilt-complex endemic to Catholicism.
"Running On Karma," has to be one of the most entertaining films that I have seen in a long time.
This ability to see other peoples karma, is one of the reasons he left his life as a monk.

 10 golden rules for running an open source project - Lot 49: Greg Beaver's blog
The fact is, when you don't have the karma (to borrow Toby's definition), nobody cares if you make a little joke here or there.
You might be thinking "I don't run an open source project" but in many cases, you become a representative (and therefore one of the people who run it) of the project the instant you achieve enough karma to commit code to CVS, so this post applies to just about all of us!
Corrupted people lose community standing and damage the essence of the project they are running, even if their intentions are generally good.
