老片回顾，Notting Hill

可能最近新片实在越来越浅薄，虽说动不动就几亿美刀往里砸，但俺觉得越来越没看头。尤其是奥斯卡，唉，也许近来那些评委的脑袋锈豆了。与其把时间浪费在打听不辣的皮特／珍妮弗的口香糖恋情和跟着莱昂纳多在飞行者里的色，不如重品老片的柔情。
Notting Hill给人，尤其事业平庸生活不顺的男人的梦是爱情可以跨越两个天壤之别的社会阶层。一个是生活平淡的濒临倒闭小书店老板，一个则是几乎世人皆知的明星，在威廉的书店，两人的生活轨迹碰撞到了一起。但是威廉并非糟的一无是处，知心的朋友可可爱的妹妹，还有疯疯癫癫的室友总是在关心和帮助着他。安娜的生活却不是看上去的那么美好，世俗对演员的看待以及让她心烦的男友只能依靠手术做出来的美貌来掩饰。但是爱情发生了，却一次次被世俗无形的干扰着。也许是不同的背景早已注定两人不同的生活哲学很难相溶。虽然结局是有情人终成眷属，但两人却要忍受身份迥异的感情波折。也许故事想诉说的是只要真心去爱，爱情就没有门第和世俗的差异，没有任何人可以阻挡。但这一切，只是摄影棚里的现代童话罢了。
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟

港产烂片，太多

看了一个"借兵"，一个"瘦身"，一个"异度空间"。前两个是冲着大飞去的，后一个是冲着哥哥去的。三个看完，让俺觉得都没啥新意。总之一句话，烂片一箩筐。三个一直的特点是宣传资料说的，又是悬念呀，又是惊悚，又是大牌明星呀。结果看过之后大失所望。刚看"借兵"的演员表，一看那么多熟人，以为蛮不错。什么黄浩然，宁静，刘兆铭，吴廷烨。俺是抱着看无间道的心情来看的，唉，浪费一晚上。在"瘦身"中大飞演技也实属一般。秋生哥的烂电影，这也不是第一个第二个了，幸好做好心理准备。可哥哥的谢幕作那么烂，的确对不住观众。实际也不是演的烂，实在是剧本烂，导演烂。本来就不复杂的情节，还故弄玄虚，结尾接开的谜底牵强附会。要说是荒诞剧，也要事先告诉人家嘛。反正港片这么烂也不是一天两天烂到这个档次的。炒作出一堆有名没名的 "明星"，再拍一堆垃圾电影。弄不好再发个什么金像。唉，谁让我不张记性，以后再也不看麦子善导的电影了，一定不！

the eagles / hotel california

the eagles / hotel california

on a dark desert highway.
cool wind in my hair.
warm smell of colitas rising
up through the air up ahead in the distance.
i saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
i had to stop for the night
there she stood in the doorway
i heard the mission bell
and i was thinking to myself

this could be heaven or this could be hell
then she lit up a candle
and she showed me the way
there were voices down in corridor
i thought i heard them say......
welcome to the hotel california
such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
there's plenty of rooms at the
hotel california
any time of year you can find it here

her mind is tiffany-twisted
she got the mercedes-benz
she got a lot of pretty,
pretty boys that she calls friends
how they dance in the courtyard
sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember
some dance to forget
so i called up the captain
please bring me my wine
he said we haven't had that spirit
here since nineteen sixty nine
and still those voices are

calling from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them say......
welcome to the hotel
calofornia such a lovely place
(such a loveely face)
they livin'it up at the hotel california
what a nice surprise bring your alibis
mirrors on the ceilling
the pink champagne on ice

and she said we are all just prisoners
here of our own device
and in the master's chambers
they gathered for the feast
they stab it with their steely knives
but they just can't kill the beast

last thing i remember,
i was running for the door
i had to find the passage back
to the place i was before
relax said programmed to receive
you can check out any time you like
but you can never leave

metallica / the unforgiven

new blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

you labeled me
i'll label you
so i dub the unforgiven

never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

you labeled me
i'll label you
so i dub the unforgiven

never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

mr.big / to be with you

to be with you
by mr big
hold on little girl
show me what he's done to you
stand up little girl
a broken heart can't be that bad
when it's through, it's through
fate will twist the both of you
so come on baby come on over
let me be the one to show you

i'm the one who wants to be with you
deep inside i hope you feel it too
waited on a line of greens and blues
just to be the next to be with you

build up your confidence
so you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
little boys that talk too much
i seen it all go down
your game of love was all rained out
so come on baby, come on over
let me be the one to hold you

why be alone when we can be together baby
you can make my life worthwile
and i can make you start to smile

when it's through
it's through
fate would twist the both of you
so come on baby
come on over
let me be the one
to show you

u2 / if god will send his angels

u2 / if god will send his angels
nobody else here baby
no one here to blame
no one to point the finger
it's just you and me and the rain
it's the blind leading the blond
it's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
if god will send his angels
and if god will send a sign
and if god will send his visions
would everything be alright
god has got his phone off the hook, babe
would he even pick up if he could
it's been a while since we saw that child
hanging round this neighborhood
you see his mother's dealing in a doorway
see father christmas with a begging bowl
jesus sister's eyes are a blister
the high street never looked so low
it's the cops collecting for the cons
where do we go
jesus never let me down
you know jesus used to show me the score
then they put jesus in show business
now it's hard to get in the door
but i guess it was something to go on
so where is the hope and where is the faith
and the love...what's that you say to me
does love...light up your christmas tree
the next minute your blowing a fuse
and the cartoon network turns into the news
i sure could use them here right now
well if god would send his angels
i don't need to lie
i don't need to know
and i don't want to promise
and i don' t want to lie
i just want to feel the song

queen / bohemian rhapsody

is this the real life -
is this just fantasy -
caught in a landslide -
no escape from reality -
open your eyes
look up to the skies and see -
i'm just a poor boy, i need no sympathy -
because i'm easy come, easy go,
a little high, little low,
anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
- to me -,

mama, just killed a man,
put a gun against his head,
pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
mama, life had just begun,
but now i've gone and thrown it all away -
mama, ooo,
didn't mean to make you cry -
if i'm not back again this time tomorrow -
carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters -

too late, my time has come,
sends shivers down my spine,
body's aching all the time,
goodbye everybody - i've got to go -
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth -
mama, ooo -
i don't want to die,
i sometimes wish i'd never been born at all -

i see a little silhouetto of a man,
scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango -
thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me -
galileo, galileo,
galileo, galileo
galileo figaro - magnifico -
but i'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me -
he's just a poor boy from a poor family -
spare him his life from this monstrosity -
easy come easy go -, will you let me go -
bismillah! no -, we will not let you go - let him go -
bismillah! we will not let you go - let him go
bismillah! we will not let you go - let me go
will not let you go - let me go
will not let you go - let me go
no, no, no, no, no, no, no -
mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go -
beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me -
for me -

so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye -
so you think you can love me and leave me to die -
oh baby - can't do this to me baby -
just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here -

nothing really matters,
anyone can see,
nothing really matters -, nothing really matters to me

any way the wind blows...

《蝴蝶》，《A1头条》，又见葛明辉

《蝴蝶》，《A1头条》，又见葛明辉

记的好就没看到葛明辉的片子了，没想到一个晚上碰巧就看了两部他的新片，《蝴蝶》，和《A1头条》。

在《蝴蝶》里，他演的是阿蝶的老公，很顾家很疼老婆很爱孩子很有事业心的那种典型新好男人，因为发现老婆原来是拉拉，生活陷入无底的痛苦中。他既无力改变老婆的性取向，也无法挽回离婚的结局，最后还要跟老婆挣刚满一岁的女儿抚养权。《A1头条》里他演的是一个收债的马仔，跟飞哥收债做小弟。一身与社会格格不入的行头加上加上夸张的动作和表情，完全和《蝴蝶》里判若两人。记的以前看到的葛明辉只是跟着阿星跑龙套，没想到在这两部现代生活片中也演得有声有色。

相比之下身为影帝的飞哥秋生却没啥长进。看过秋生那么多部电影，绝大部分都是同一种表情，不拘言笑；同一种性格，内柔外刚。《野兽刑警》和《人肉叉烧包》中的出色表演很难再见。

何超仪和田原演的小蝶和小叶的确有可圈可点之处，HI8的效果和两个段感情的穿插也让人感觉很有意思。

至于李心洁和陈冠希，不说也罢，也没人指望他们俩能有多出众的表演。

哦，想起来还有那首Smell like a teen spirit，让自己想起上学时的日子。

soul asylum / runaway train

call you up in the middle of the night
like a firefly without a light
you were there like a blowtorch burning
i was a key that could use a little turning

so tired that i couldn't even sleep
so many secrets i couldn't keep
i promised myself i wouldn't weep
one more promise i couldn't keep

it seems no one can help me now,
i'm in too deep; there's no way out
this time i have really led myself astray

runaway train, never going back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there

can you help me remember how to smile?
make it somehow all seem worthwhile
how on earth did i get so jaded?
life's mystery seems so faded

i can go where no one else can go
i know what no one else knows
here i am just a-drownin' in the rain
with a ticket for a runaway train

and everything seems cut and dried,
day and night, earth and sky,
somehow i just don't believe it

runaway train, never going back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there

bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughing at the rain
a little out of touch, a little insane
it's just easier than dealing with the pain

runaway train, never going back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there

runaway train, never coming back
runaway train, tearing up the track
runaway train, burning in my veins
i run away but it always seems the same
