麥當勞吃太多,好噁

Originally uploaded by aoiclover.

這個人是flickr上面認得的,略看了一下的照片。正如照片後留言的人所說的:反諷的真棒!我對小丑還是有一點害怕,大概是因爲小的時候看了“IT”
(StephenKing)而且如今仍然心有餘悸。今天心情不太好,突然萌出了一念頭:我應該不應該在上海找一個外籍心理醫生?我不能像這樣一直活下去,畢生的隱痛多沒意思。
不知道為什麽今天又開始發作了,也許是因爲我音樂搞不好所以對自己一點沮喪。我想創作那種不朽的東西但我志大才疏,做不到。我是不是應該早一點認命免得我這樣–美好的時光被憂鬱症揮霍了?

The NYT on a J.L. Godard retrospective

June 27th, 2006 · No Comments

This is from a New York Times piece on a Jean-Luc Godard retrospective.
Having reinvented cinema by systematically flouting its conventions, Mr. Godard could be expected to ruffle the museum’s feathers. “Such a rebel artist can’t behave in the frame of a cultural institution,” notes the critic and film programmer Nicole Brenez, “even one as open [...]

MoviesDestination Shanghai (目的地上海)

June 27th, 2006 · No Comments

I just finished watching this movie and i have to say, it kinda sucked. I was wondering if i was alone in this opinion or not (of course i knew i wasn’t, if only because it’s almost impossible for there not to be naysayers for any films) But consider what Tony Rayns has to say:
As [...]

TV: LOST

June 25th, 2006 · No Comments

沒想到LOST會那麽好看,很久都沒有看過那麽好的電視劇,當然我平時也沒這個耐心去看。朋友肯定以前就聽見我對電影的鄙視看法。我大概是太久沒有 看好電視了,凡是中國的節目都多多少少會心生厭惡的。網上看了很多對LOST的闡釋。但是因爲講述的是飛機失事的幸存者在孤島的生存狀況我心裏突然有了一 種無法按捺的恐懼,這無疑就使對死亡的畏懼。一邊看電視一邊看者我的女朋友還有坐在我們旁邊的小貓, 我突然覺得如果我最愛的東西都有故去的一天,那今世的生活多沒有意思。因爲飛機失事是一種非常難料而且悲慘的意外,他會引起我們對人生的重新審視。其實你 早死跟自然死有什麽區別?飛機墜落而喪生的是不是比較有悲劇色彩的?我認爲不管是什麽方式死都是悲劇的,最後的結果其實是一樣的,人類的更迭也不就是一種 自然規律,看似很天經地義但其實很悲慘的。我現在唯一的願望就可以不要每天去想那麽多,換言之,就是設方想法打消那些恐怖的念頭。一個人如果頻頻要去想死 亡,如果這個死亡情節是無法抑制的並且可以頻頻作祟的,我的精神狀態除了低迷還有什麽其它可能性?
How many people out there think that the bargain we are given in this existence is fair? Do we get to read a lot of cool books, films, and go to unique places, meet exotic people and kill them, make wanton love now and again, get a little pride [...]

The 2005 Palm D’or winner at Cannes from the Dardennes brother: more hard hitting documentary realism and a stark look at the desperate lives of the working class in Belgium. Given my proclivities i know that i was going to be swept away by the film, though sometimes i found the real-time long takes a [...]

Movies: Good Night and Good Luck

June 19th, 2006 · No Comments

Much of what needs to be said or ought to be said about this movie has been said elsewhere. I liked the fact that it was “light,” in the sense of 轻盈, it wasn’t tendentious even though it was, as one critic noted, “the liberal feel-good movie of the year.” There were no elaborate plot [...]
