    CSI LV S10E02的脑筋急转弯

    You were in a room, no doors no windows, how did you get out?

    ---Same way I got in.

     

    You were in a room, no doors no windows, there’s a chainsaw and a table, how did you get out?

    ---You cut up the table in half with the chainsaw, two halfs make a whole (hole),how you go.

    Song Oh My God P!nk Featuring Peaches

    不多说了,看歌词吧(全版本的),还有感兴趣的可以去查查PEACHES这个神人。我只能无语。
    oh my God
    Pink:
    Put me on the table
    Make me say your name
    If I can't remember
    Then give me all your pain
    I can sit and listen
    Or I can make you scream
    Kiss it and make it better
    Just put your trust in me

    Oh my God, go a little slower
    Oh my God, what was that again
    L da da, let me feel you baby
    Let me in, 'cause I understand
    Let me feel you baby
    'Cause I understand

    Peaches:
    I understand all
    Now climb my sugar walls
    Problem solved it's dissolved
    with the solvent known as spit
    Lickity lick not too quick it's a
    Slick ride make my mink slide
    'Cause we're all pink inside

    Pink:
    This can be really easy
    It doesn't have to be hard
    Here baby let me show you
    I'll have ya, climbing up the walls
    You got all the problems (you got all the problems)
    I think that I can solve (I'll be your therapy)
    Why don't you come in here baby
    Why don't we sit and talk

    Oh my God, go a little slower
    Oh my God, what was that again
    L da da, let me feel you baby
    Let me in, 'cause I understand
    Let me feel you baby
    'Cause I understand

    Peaches:
    You like the top and the bottom
    You made a drop and then caught 'em
    And when you rock then you've got 'em
    Oh my God 'em oh my God 'em

    Pink:
    Let me feel you baby
    'Cause I understand

    Peaches:
    You like the top and the bottom
    You made a drop and then caught 'em
    And when you rock then you've got 'em
    Oh my God 'em oh my God 'em

    Pink:
    Let me feel you baby
    'Cause I understand

    Peaches:

    I think I can I think I can

    Peaches:
    I got your coochy-coo
    how 'bout you?

    Pink:
    I got your coochy-coo too

    Dolores O‘Riordan 又献声了

    上次Dolores O‘Riordan莫名取消演唱会后,就一直没什么她的消息了(主要也是我没注意看啊),今天在VIRGIN RADIO上听到熟悉的声音不熟悉的歌,一GOOGLER果然是她出新专辑了,买先,正式出版是8月24号。
    这张专辑的造型年轻很多,怎么看得出她是4个孩子的母亲?哈哈,还记得上一次在法国采访里。她用勉强的法语纠正主持人,是4个孩子不是三个啦!其实还是忒喜欢她金发的造型啊。

    傻傻的快乐真好歌

    总是很碰巧的一下子听到超符合心境的歌
    又或是只留意听到符合心境的歌
     
    Persephone's Bees - Nice Day
     

    Too hot for tea but I'll drink it anyway, it's a nice day (nice day...)
    Too late for him but I'll take him anyway, it's a nice day (nice day...)

    Mother on the phone, she is older and grey
    Asking her little girl to come back and stay
    Politicians on the radio and tv today
    Talking 'bout how great it isn't you to say

    On a nice day (nice day...)
    I don't care what they say (they say...)
    I don't care what they say (they say...)

    On a na, na-na na, na-na na, na-na na, na na na na
    It's doesn't matter if you're going mad
    It's doesn't matter that this place is so, so sad

    FRANCOISE 歌词

    只要耐心的等,歌词就出来了。。。
    (但不适合应用于所有的事情)
    FRANCOISE

    I, what did I say

    Cause I, cant remember your name
    And breathe...
    And I, don’t know what you once said,
    And now, look what you do,
    I’m free...
    To say, what you wanted was mine
    Not free, don't stop it's the end,
    I’m tired... of it,
    But not to one's self,

    A place, I couldn't change,
    There's more, it's hard to explain,
    For me...
    So smile, there's no time to reflect,
    To fall, from secrets like these,
    I’m free...
    To say, what you wanted was mine,
    Not free, don't stop it's the end,
    I’m tired....of it

    But not to one's self, I'm tired of it
    But not to one's self...

    To say, what you wanted was mine,
    Not free, dont stop its the end,
    I’m tired....of it,
    But not to ones self, I'm tired of it
    But not to ones self......

    SURVEILLANCE--Jennifer Lynch

    长期担任爸爸助手的Jennifer Lynch曾在1993独立导演过一部电影Boxing Helena,结果被称为‘女儿比爸爸更变态’,潜水十五年后,Jennifer Lynch卷上爸爸用顺的演员Bill Pulmanlost highway Julia Ormond(Inland Empire)又回来了---这就是SURVEILLANCE.

    surveillance1surveillancesurveillance2surveillance-lynch-trailer

    既然逃不过FILLE DE的命运,Jennifer的电影风格也多多少少受了David Lynch的影响,暴力与鲜血,神经质的人物,抽象的回放画面。。。比较有特点的是,她的血腥画面处理的很干净,一些定景中风景和人物的构图、仰视镜头都很赞,呵呵,也是个超级自恋的人啊。

    作为一个女人,拍出如此的电影也算是特立独行。

    虽然我一向无所谓剧透不剧透,但实在不想透这部电影——与David Lynch的电影画面晦涩故事线紊乱无法叙述相反,SURVEILLANCE主线清晰,更容易看懂,却在画面、音乐、故事进展上更玩弄观众的神经,就如果经过了一场一小时二十分悠长、时徐时缓,经常恰到好处的前戏,最后的高潮来得异常深刻。

    MELODY

    Sharleen Spiteri丢开TAXES自己出了张新专辑《Melody》,应该是我最近太不听新歌了,竟然今天才知道,好在正式出版是714日,我知道得还不算晚得太失败。

    于是恍然大悟这些天路上让我侧目不已的就是她的新专辑海报,(再次相信本道的直觉,PS,今天做了个小心理测试,就是INFP职业性格--内向-直觉-情感-知觉型恩,扯得有点远)SS造型也变得太干脆了!上次出CARVANE GIRL也是的,我看着MTV都楞是没认出来。但她的声音是独特的,不会让人错过。

    这张专辑风格比之TAXES有了很大的转变,不过主打歌All The Times I Cried还是很TAXES’s SS的,且还是一听就很上耳。

    来感叹一下她的新造型吧!

    Cameron & Cuddy As Valley Girls

    买正版影碟的好处是什么?BONUS

    YOUTUBE的好处是什么?不乏达人往上面贴BONUS

    HOUSE M.DBONUS有点小绝,它推出了女主角的VALLEY GIRL版,观众们有福了。

    先补充一下知识(注解详见wikipedia),Valley girl, 或简称Val, 起源于1970年代的美国圣费伦多San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, California)对该区女性居民的别称. 一般被如此称呼的女人都是外表给人感觉愚笨, 性慾极强, 打扮夸张及喜欢购物的金发姑娘. Val的群体中存在着一种特别的美式英语方言--Valspeak, 都是用简单的单字以强调句子的语气.

    比如:

    As if

    lit. "as if" except it does not use a subject; expresses disbelief

    Whatever!

    short for "whatever you say"; sarcastic comeback

    Betch

    lit. "Bitch"

    Totally

    "I agree" or "completely"; Meaning: "very" or "really"

    Usage: Can be used anywhere in a sentence, even in syntactically awkward positions (e.g. before verbs)

    Examples: "I totally paused!", "He so totally said that to her!"

    Like, oh my God

    can be used many ways; expresses shock (OMG for short)

    "like" ("I was like" means "I said")

    Usage: Quotative particle.

    Example: "She was like 'oh my gawd you have to see this', but I was like, 'shut up!

    I’m suuure! or I'm so sure

    "I'm absolutely positive", but usually used sarcastically

    Betty

    An attractive woman.

    Gnarly

    off the hook, totally extreme - good or bad

    So

    Very; Used too often and said with too much emphasis

    "totally", "so totally", "Totes"

    duh!

    Meaning: "Everybody knows that!", "Obviously!", etc.

    Usage: Usually said with heavy emphasis, often while rolling your eyes. Commonly begins a sentence or phrase, or is its own sentence.

    Example: "Haven't I heard that before?" "Duh, it's like a famous quote!"

    so, like, OK, you know, or something

    Usage: Usually used as fillers with no particular meaning.

    Example: "So OK, I was totally like, you know, 'I have no idea' or something!"

    "I know right?!"

    An interrobang of agreement.

    Example: Person1: "Ugh, those UGGs are so 2005" / Person2: "I know right?"

     

    来看看CuddyCameron是怎么VALLEY GIRL的吧!

    205 - DADDY'S BOY中的一个场景

    原版:

    Cameron: Where's Stacy?

    Cuddy: Err... speaking at a Conference in Baltimore, why? what do you need?
    Cameron: Can I ask an opinion on a patient? House wants me to lie to the kid to get him in here.
    Cuddy: Well then you'll be the one getting the (supina?)
    Cameron: Well we do need to diagnosis his friend.
    Cuddy: Take the test to the kid.
    Cameron: There is no test, House just wants to look at it.
    Cuddy: Then take House to "it".
    Cameron: Yeah, like that's going to happen.
    Cuddy: Tell House his parents called. Said they were coming? in early. He'll go anywhere just to avoid them [walks into her office]
    Cameron: So it's ok to lie to House but not to a patient.
    Cuddy: [smug] Yep!
    [Cameron's beeper starts beeping]

    改版:

    Cameron : Where’s Stacy ?

    Cuddy : She’s, like, totally in Baltimore. Like, I don’t even know speaking or something. This is really complicated.

    Cameron : Can I like subpoena a patient ? Cause House, like, wants me to, like, lie to him to get him here.

    Cuddy : Duh !Then you’d like be totally the lier.

    Cameron : Well, there’s like no test.He just wants to, like, look at it.

    Cuddy : Well, like take a test to it and what’s ‘it’ anyway ?

    Cameron : Like House is gonna do that ?

    Cuddy : You know, you need to, like, call House’s dad and mom...Or, no, tell him that they called that’d be really funny, and then, like,say that they’re coming early and he will,like,totally freak out and he’ll,like,totally go anywhere that you say.

    Cameron : So, wait, like I can, like, lie to House bit like not lie to a patient.

    Cuddy : Totally.

    Cameron : That’s Hot !

    除了台词典型的VAL,两个演员的表演也入V三分啊!THAT’S HOT !!

    儿童节快乐--DR HOUSE语录

    Dr. foreman: isn't treating patients why we became doctors?
    医治病人难道不是我们成为医生的原因吗?
    House: no, treating illnesses is why we became doctors. treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable.
    ,医治疾病才是我们做医生的原因,医治病人则是医生痛苦的根源.

    House: people don't want a sick doctor.
    人们不喜欢生病的医生.
    Dr. wilson: that's fair enough, i don't like healthy patients.
    那很公平,我也不喜欢健康的病人.

    House: what would you prefer - a doctor who holds your hand while you die or who ignores you while youget better?i guess it would particularly suck to have a doctor who ignores you while you die.
    哪种医生你比较喜欢-在你临死时会陪在你身边的医生或者是当你病情好转后不再搭理你的医生?我猜你最讨厌的是当你快死的时候不再搭理你的医生.

    Dan's mother: how can you just sit there?
    (责怪他不去给DAN检查)
    你怎么能就这么坐在那边?
    House: if i eat standing up, i spill.
    如果我站着吃东西,就会洒出来.

    House: another reason i don't like meeting patients. if they don't know what you look like, they can't yell at you.
    我不喜欢见病人的另一个原因就是,如果他们不知道你的样子,他们就没法冲你大吼大叫.

    Dr. wilson: you will lie, cheat and steal to get what you want, but you're incapable of kissing a little ass?
    你为了得到你要的结果可以坑蒙拐骗,无所不用,怎么就不能稍稍拍拍马屁呢?
    House: well, we all have our limitations.
    恩,人总是有缺点的.

    House: no, there is not a thin line between love and hate. there is a great wall of china with armed sentries posted every 20' between love and hate.
    爱与恨并非只有一线之隔,爱与恨之间隔着一道十步一岗,五步一哨的中国长城.

    在大多数洲里,除掉超过一个月大的这种寄生虫是非法的.
    jill: illegal?
    非法的?
    House: don’t worry. many women learn to embrace this parasite. they name it, Dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites...
    别担心,很多女人都会喜欢她们的寄生虫,给它起名字,穿衣服,还让它和其他的寄生虫一起玩.
    jill: playdates…

    它的眼睛很象你(这位女士怀孕了)

    luke: is this a good hospital?
    这家医院好吗?
    House: depends on what you mean by "good". i like the chairs.
    这得看你对好医院的定义了,我喜欢这里的椅子.

    House: as long as you're trying to be good, you can do whatever you want.
    只要你尽力了,就表示你可以做任何你想做的事情

    Dr. wilson: and as long as you're not trying, you can say whatever you want.
    只要你不去尽力,你就可以说任何你想说的话.
    House: so between us, we can do whatever we want. we can rule the world!
    那么说我们两个人加起来就做任何事,说任何话了,我们可以一起统治世界了.

    Dr. wilson: i love my wife.
    House: you certainly love saying it.

    House: you told me you hadn't changed your diet or exercise. were you lying?
    samantha: lying?
    House: does your husband have high blood pressure?
    samantha: my husband?

    Dr. wilson: they're french. you can't trust a word they say.
    它们是法国货,法国人的话一句都不能信.

     

    Dr. foreman: why are you riding on me?
    你为什么对我这么刻薄?
    House: it's what i do. has it gotten worse lately?
    我就是这样子,最近我变得更厉害了吗?
    Dr. foreman: yeah. seems to me.
    对我来说是的.
    House: really? well, that rules out the race thing. you were just as black last week.
    真的吗?那么肯定不是种族歧视的原因了,你还和上周一样的黑.

    Dr. cameron: i'll check into it.
    Dr. foreman: i'll make the call.
    Dr. Chase: i'll keep the kid alive. for a while at least.
    House: i'll have lunch.

    House: i assume "minimal at best" is your stiff upper lip british way of saying "no chance in hell"?
    我认为你说的"有可能"就是"根本没指望了"的英国表达方式.
    Dr. Chase: i'm australian.

    我是澳大利亚人
    House: you put the queen on your money. you're british.
    你们把女王的头像印在钱币上,你们就是英国人.

    House: you're certainly boss. like a wet tongue sticks to Dry ice.

    House: like i always say, there's no ‘i' in team. but there is ‘me' if you jumble it up.
    象我常说的,团队里没有我存在,不过要是你把它打乱了,倒是有个me存在.

    Dr. cameron: yeah, i i trusted you.
    House: you always trust me. that's a big mistake.

    House: i take risks - sometimes patients die. but not taking risks causes more patients to die. so i guess my biggest problem is i've been cursed with the ability to do the math.
    我承担风险,有时病人会死,但如果我不冒风险,更多的病人会死,所以我最大的毛病就是我已经学会了算术.

    Dr. cuddy: answer me.
    House: nothing i could say is going to change how you feel, and nothing could come out of your reaction that is going to change what i plan to do. so i prefer to say nothing.
    不管我说什么都不会改变你的想法,不管你说什么都不会改变我的做法,所以我宁可什么也不说.

    (对一黑人议员患者)
    House: You’re not going to be President either way - they don’t call it the White House because of the paint job
    你无论如何都成不了总统的,白宫之所以叫白宫可不是因为它是给漆成白色的. 


    Dr. foreman: you know, House shouldn't even be here!
    Dr. Chase: because he said something inappropriate? if we sent him home every time he did that, he'd never be here. we wouldn't even need his office.

    Dr. wilson: she's beautiful!
    House: she's beautiful so i should do it? what kind of logic is that?!?
    Dr. wilson: the envious, jealous 'i'm married and i can't do anything' logic!
    Dr. wilson: she's hot so she's a hooker? what kind of pathetic logic is that?
    House: the envious, jealous 'i never got any in high school' logic. hello?!?

     

    House: But I have a theory. There is one chemical that, if ingested, it causes a person’s estrogen level to increase dramatically.
    我有个理论,有一种药品被服用后会导致病人体内的雌激素水平大幅上升.
    Bill: What is it?  

    那是什么?

    House: It’s called...estrogen.  

    雌激素 

      

    House: i always say if you’re going to get shot, do it in a hospital.
    我总是说如果你要挨枪子的话,最好的地方还得是在医院里。(近水楼台先得月)

    House: sevens marry sevens, nines marry nines, fours marry fours. maybe there’s some wiggle room if there's enough money or if somebody got pregnant. but you’ve got at least three points on your husband and your frock says he didn't do it for the money and your breasts say you haven't had any kids.
    judy: so you figure my marriage is a mathematical error.
    House
    龙配龙,凤配凤,乌龟配王八。如果某人有钱或是怀孕的话可能还有点灵活的空间,可是你至少比你丈夫高3分,而你的外套说明你不缺钱,而你的胸脯又说明你还没有生育过。
    judy
    所以你认为我的婚姻是个概率学上的错误。

    House: here's how life works: you either get to ask for an apology or you get to shoot people. not both
    House
    我的哲学是:你要么要求别人道歉,要么射他两枪,不能两样都要。(应该先让人道歉再开枪而不是反之)

    Dr. cameron: she’s a katrina victim.
    House: she's better than crandall – he’s a katrina victim victim
    cameron
    她是katrina台风的受害者。
    House
    她比crandall好多了,他是katrina台风受害者的受害者。

    House: ideas are not soda cans. recycling sucks. give me something new and shiny.
    House
    主意可不象可乐罐一样可以循环利用,给我点新鲜的。

    Dr. foreman: (about his father) he's not proud of me, he's proud of jesus. everything i do right is god's work, everything i do wrong is my own damn fault.
    foreman
    他才不会为我感到骄傲,他是为耶酥而骄傲,我做对的每件事都是上帝的功劳,我做错的每件事都tmd是我自己的错。

    Dr. cuddy: (to House) i can’t even imagine the backward logic you used to rationalize shooting a corpse.
    House: well if i shot a live person there's a lot more paperwork.
    cuddy
    我都无法想象你怎么跟我合理的解释射击一具尸体这件事。
    House
    恩,如果我开枪射个活人的话会有更多的文件要处理。

    (doing introductions)
    House: wilson! this is Dry cleaner guy. tax accountant. guy from the bus stop. this is wilson.
    Dry cleaner: how come he gets a name?
    House: seniority.
    House
    :(House家的打牌聚会)wilson,这位是干洗店员,这个是税务会计,公车司机,这位是wilson
    干洗店员: 怎么就这家伙有名字?
    House
    :他比你们的资格老。

    Dr. Chase: you're going to talk to a patient?
    House: god talks to him. it'd be arrogant of me to assume i'm better than god.
    Chase
    :你打算和这个病人谈话?(这可真不象House啊)
    House
    :连上帝都和他谈话,我还没有傲慢到认为自己比上帝还强的地步。(也差不了多少了)

    House: god ever talk to you when you were in the seminary?
    Dr. Chase: ummm... no.
    House: god's loss, our gain.
    House
    :在神学院的时候上帝和你交谈过吗?
    Chase
    :没有
    House
    :那可是上帝的损失啊,倒是便宜我们了。

    House: no - you talk to god, you're religious. god talks to you - you're psychotic.
    House
    你和上帝交谈,你是基督徒,上帝和你交谈,你是精神病。

    Dr. Chase: i vote for neurofibromitosis.
    House: why?
    Dr. Chase: because the other choices suck worse.
    Chase
    :我认为病人得的是neurofibromitosis(别问我这是啥东东)
    House
    :为什么?
    Chase
    :因为其他的选项要糟糕的多。

    (House stops foreman from writing on the whiteboard)
    House: sorry, there's a reason they call it the whiteboard. it's not my rule.
    House
    :(阻止foreman往白板上写字) 对不起,人们叫这个做板是有原因的。

    ronald: i assume House is a great doctor?
    Dr. Chase: why would you assume that?
    ronald: because if you’re that big a jerk you’re either great or unemployed.
    ronald
    :我猜House是个名医。
    Chase
    :为什么你会这么想?
    ronald
    :因为象他那么混的人如果不是特别有本事的话肯定找不到饭碗的。

    House: (discussing alex's breasts) two clinic hours says that those love apples are handcrafted by god.
    Dr. foreman: i thought you didn't believe in god.
    House: i do now.
    House
    :这两个小时的诊断我确定了一件事,她的乳房是上帝的杰作。
    foreman
    :我以为你不信上帝的。
    House
    :现在我信了。

    Dr. foreman: House! you can't do this!
    House: oh, if i had a nickel for every time i've heard that.
    foreman
    House,你不能这么做。
    House
    :噢,如果每次我听到这话能得到一角钱的话,我早成百万富翁了。

    Dr. Chase:we’ve got an mri scheduled in twenty minutes. earliest foreman could get the machine
    House: i teach you to lie and cheat and steal, and as soon as my back is turned you wait in line?
    Chase
    :我们的mri排在二十分钟以后,这已经是foreman的最大努力了。
    House
    ;我教了你们那么多的坑蒙拐骗,我刚一走开你们就去老老实实的排队?

    Dr. wilson: do you know your phone’s dead? do you ever recharge your batteries?
    House: they recharge? i just buy new phones.
    wison
    :你知道你的手机关机了吗?难道你就不会去充电吗?
    House
    手机还能充电啊?我每次都是再去买个新手机

    Dr. Chase: gambling doesn’t take away (House’s) pain.
    House: it does when i win.
    Chase
    :赌博并不能消除你的病痛。
    House
    我赢的话就可以。

    Stacy: if Chase screwed up so badly, why didn’t you fire him?
    House: he has great hair.
    Stacy: what are you hiding?
    House: i’m gay. oh…that’s not what you meant. it does explain a lot though. no girlfriend, always with wilson, obsession with sneakers…
    Stacy
    :如果是Chase搞砸了,为什么你不炒了他?
    House
    :他的头发很漂亮。
    Stacy
    :你到底在隐瞒什么?
    House
    :我是同性恋,哦,那不是你想问的。不过没有女友,老和WILSON在一起,总是穿运动鞋。。。

     

    Lola:你的脸臭的仿佛额头上贴了个“离我远点”的标签。 
    Dr.House:我早就吩咐他们在我的门上挂这么一块牌子了。



    Wison:如果你有钱,为什么还要问我借? 
    Dr.House:我不是真的缺钱,我只是想知道你会不会借给我,自从去年我向你借了40美圆后,我就一直让欠款的数目保持增长,这只是一个测试你的忍耐程度的小实验
    Wison:你--你用如此俗不可耐的方法衡量我们之间的友谊? 
    Dr.House:足足5000美圆啊---你没什么可害臊的。  


    Dr.House的妈妈打电话来,他的三个手下都很惊讶
    Dr.House就解释说那是安吉莉娜·朱莉,这样叫更加性感
    后来三个人讨论House的爸妈
    Chase说House居然有父母
    Cameron说不知道是House痛苦一点还是他爸妈痛苦一点
    Foreman说House小时候要么特别能打,要么特别能跑

    Dr.House:当人们有头脑/胯部的毛病,结果通常都是一边使用得太多,而另一边太少......
    Cameron不安的侧目Chase...... 

    Wison:把Stacy送走太明智了,对你来讲真是再好不过的结果(WISON认为HOUSE的腿疼是心理疼,与Stacy的离开有关系)
    Dr.House:听着,这事和Stacy一点关系都没有!
    Wison:对,自从她离开,你的生活完全脱轨,是好大一个巧合啊,包括偏头痛,腿痛加剧......
    (Wison还没说完,HOUSE用拐杖狠狠地打了Wison腿一下,Wison惨叫)
    Dr.House:啊?哦?你也想念Stacy吗?

    Sillence All These Years

    1991年,Tori Amos发行了自己的第一张专辑《Little Earthquakes》。 Little earthauqkes

    虽然Tori AMOS音乐风格的形成过程中,很受摇滚风潮的影响,但她更喜欢用钢琴而不是吉它来作为最主要的伴奏乐器。在这首收录其中的《Silent All These Years》就是以柔滑轻快的纯钢琴伴奏。

    整首歌以不断回旋的钢琴为主体,曲调优美,Tori AMOS 的声音萦绕其中,和行云流水般的琴声融为一体。开篇的描述是低沉委婉,在重复处琴声和人声变得激昂、咄咄逼人起来,收尾处人声减淡而琴声不绝,有如欲说还休。

     

    沉默多年

    Excuse me but can I be you for a while
    My dog won't bite if you sit real still
    I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again
    Yeah I can hear that
    Been saved again by the garbage truck
    I got something to say you know but nothing comes
    Yes I know what you think of me you never shut-up
    Yeah I can hear that
    打扰一下,我能暂时扮演你吗

    只要你真的坐好我的狗狗不会咬你

    厨房里有个反基督者又在对我大叫

    对,我能听到

    垃圾车又一次救了我

    我有话要说,但你知道,无法出口

    是的,我知道你对我的看法,你从不闭嘴

    是的,我听到了

     

    But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans
    of his with her name still on it
    Hey but I don't care cause sometimes
    I said sometimes
    I hear my voice and it's been here
    Silent all these years
    如果我是穿着他的

    仍然有她名字的牛仔裤的美人鱼,

    那又如何呢

    嘿,但我不在乎,因为有时候

    我是说有时候

    我听到我自己的声音,曾经在这里

    沉默多年

     

    So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
    What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
    Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
    How's that thought for you
    My scream got lost in a paper cup
    You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
    I got 25 bucks and a cracker
    Do you think it's enough to get us there
    那么,你遇到了一个有思想的女孩

    那些深奥的思想有什么好惊讶的

    男孩,你最好祈祷我血流得很快

    那些思想对你如何

    我的尖声惊叫迷失在纸杯子里

    你认为这儿有一个一些呐喊抵达过的天堂

    我有二十五块钱和一个谎言

    你觉得这足够我们前往吗

     

    Years go by will I still be waiting
    For somebody else to understand
    Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
    And the orange clouds raining in my eye
    Years go by will I choke on my tears
    Till finally there is nothing left
    One more casualty
    You know we're too easy easy easy
    时光流逝,我是否应该仍继续等待

    等待别人去了解

    时光流逝,如果我容貌不再

    橘色的云在我眼里化成雨

    时光流逝,我是否应该强忍泪水

    直到最后什么也不留

    又一个受害者

    你明白我们都太随性了


    Well I love the way we communicate
    Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
    Let's hear what you think of me now
    But baby don't look up
    The sky is falling

    恩,我喜欢我们交流的方式

    你的眼睛盯着我可笑的唇型

    现在该听听你对我的看法了

    宝贝,别往上看

    天空正坠落下来

     

    Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
    Well, it's your turn now to stand where I stand
    Everybody looking at you
    Here take hold of my hand
    Yeah I can hear them

    你妈妈穿着令人作呕的衣服出现

    恩,现在换你来扮演我

    所有的人都在看着你

    来,牵住我的手

    是的,我能听到他们


    But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans
    of yours with her name still on it
    Hey but I don't care cause sometimes
    I said sometimes
    I hear my voice, I hear my voice, I hear my voice
    And it's been here silent all these years
    I've been here silent all these years
    Silent all these
    Silent all these years

    如果我是穿着他的

    仍然有她名字的牛仔裤的美人鱼,

    那又如何呢

    嘿,但我不在乎,因为有时候

    我是说有时候

    我听到我自己的声音,我听到我自己的声音,我听到我自己的声音

    曾经在这里,沉默多年

    我曾经在这里,沉默多年

     

     

    1993十万个为什么》专集中王菲翻唱了这首歌,有粤语国语两个版本,讲述的都是一个女人发现被背叛后的心境。

    敢于翻唱Tori Amos的勇气不是每个人都有的,王菲的这一步简直就是下注----就如同2002年翻唱The CranberriesDreames----由此可证明她的唱功实力还是‘菲’比寻常的。

    再就歌词来说,英文语音的特点可以使大段的唱词犹如行云流水一般一泻直下,从句的灵活运用,修饰的错落有致也展示了语言的魅力。中文歌的词就得一个个唱出,只靠音的强弱去配合节奏。但中文逻辑关系的暗藏又可让一些成分被巧妙地重复或省略。林夕的词不仅写得配合上了婉委的原曲,还配合了王菲冰冷的声线,是这首翻唱歌成功的重要因素。

    十万个为什么

    冷战国语歌词

    沉默之中仍克制不要呼吸 怕触摸空气坏了情绪 
    为你锁住了问号 等亲爱的你吻去 欺骗自己 
    从不想不忍心看穿你 听说你和我最好朋友在一起 
    我也学别人静静地看你俩演戏 也不愿分离 
    相对默默无语 好想你我早有了默契 永不要幼稚地猜疑 
    但表情彼此表情冷冷地说明冷战继续   
    多少年 爱你也恨你(多少年 相敬如宾) 
    流言风一般在身边飞来飞去 从不听不问不想怀疑 
    怕会无力编织 地久和天长的证据 怎么给你 
    不多心不问你却不得不理 不强求偏偏想挽留不放弃 
    永远专心地寂寞地和你演戏 不管愿不愿意 
    我爱你你也爱我这个诺言现在你对她承诺 
    依赖过空虚过伤过痛过好过我输掉了你独消瘦 
    冷静再冷静再冷静 将错就错 爱情怎么算对错 
    陪著你顺从你纵容你 可会使你回头 
    相对默默无语 好像你我早有了默契 
    永不会幼稚地猜疑 但冷冷表情表情冷冷   
    没有言语没有言语没有言语 冷清清 
    多少年 相对难相恋 究竟多少年 可惜又可怜  可惜又可怜  
    让你走过眼前

    Suicide Is Painless

    Through early morning fog I see  
    Visions of the things to be  
    The pains that are with held for me  
    I realize and I can see 
    That suicide is painless  
    It brings on many changes  
    And I can take or leave it if I please  
    The game of life is hard to play  
    I'm going to lose it anyway  
    The losing card I'll someday lay  
    So this is all I have to say  
    Suicide is painless  
    It brings on many changes  
    And I can take or leave it if I please  
    The sword of time will pierce our skins  
    It doesn't hurt when it begins  
    But as it works it's way on in  
    The pain grow stronger watch it grin  
    Suicide is painless  
    It brings on many changes  
    And I can take or leave it if I please  
    A brave man once requested me  
    To answer questions that are key  
    Is it to be or not to be  
    And I replied "Oh why ask me."  
    Suicide is painless  
    It brings on many changes  
    And I can take or leave it if I please  
    And you can do the same thing if you please.

     

    记得有一次傻傻的和别人说我很喜欢Mylène Farmer C'est une belle journée这首歌,那人就奇怪的看着我,说这首歌是讲自杀的,明显那时法语不好,听歌又不听歌词,可我还是要说,我喜欢这首歌。今天在地毯似寻歌中,找到了续文——Suicide is painlessLazy, cool, sadness就是这首歌的特点,有Johnny Mandel, Ahmad Jamal, Marilyn MansonManic Street PreachersLady and Bird好几种版本,其中当然是Lady and Bird的版本最打动人心——没有逶迤的诱使,没有深刻的痛苦,只有缓缓道来如唱诗班的絮语。

    此曲选入Lady & Bird的同名专辑《Lady and Bird》。Lady & Bird乐队是由法国才女Keren Ann以及冰岛Trip Hop Bang Gang乐队主唱Bradi Johannsson组合而成的临时乐队,他们推出了这张同名专辑。专辑整体风格迤逦迷离,和声优美,是于冰冷之处呵出温暖之花的合唱,很久没有听到这么干净的声音了。

    lady and bird side3

    此专辑主曲是La Balladed of lady ans bird,La Balladed指的是辅以钢琴等配乐而进行叙事的音乐体,其主要起源于1415世纪法国歌剧的三节韵诗。‘Sometimes you should say something out without voicebut it can really touch the heartssometimes you should listen to something without your ears but it can really flow into you heart’这就是这首歌想表达的主题。(汗,听起来象老葛说的)。 整首歌利用声音合成器把Keren AnnBardi Johannson变成了童声,听起来好象是两个无法融入成人世界的孩子,但是专辑的第二首歌《Shepherd's Song》里的一句“They were two little children stuck in the bodies of grown ups”说明原来是两个精神还停留在儿童状态的成年人。歌中的“I”对女孩说“You are Lady”,对男孩说,“You are a bird but you cannot fly”。于是7天他们就被赋予了新的身份。

    专辑中的另几首歌也都有其特定的背景。《Stephanie Says》是lou reed 的作品,描写女吸毒者Stephanie 的悲惨经历。前面提到的《Sucide is Painless 是经典的黑色幽默反战电影《M.A.S.H》的主题歌曲,《M.A.S.H》讲述的是一个战地医生在前线枯燥危险的高强度工作压力之下,一度以为自己是gay,而想要自杀,他的战友们为了帮他治好病,将计就计,为他举行了一场假葬礼,《Sucide is Painless》的歌声就是在那时出现的。

    aAron--U Turn (Lili)

    aaron
    Lili, take another walk out of your fake world
    Please put all the drugs out of your hand
    You'll see that you can breath without not back up
    Some much stuff you got to understand

    {Refrain:}
    For every step in any walk
    Any town of any thaught
    I'll be your guide
    For every street of any scene
    Any place you've never been
    I'll be your guide

    Lili, you know there's still a place for people like us
    The same blood runs in every hand
    You see it's not the wings that makes the angel
    Just have to move the bats out of your head

    {Au Refrain}

    Lili, easy as a kiss we'll find an answer
    Put all your fears back in the shade
    Don't become a ghost without no colour
    Cause you're the best paint life ever made

    {Au Refrain}

    GOODNIGHT MOON 歌词

    shivaree3
    甜美、迷幻、慵懶、颓废。。。。这就是goodnight moon的特点了,它还被昆汀·塔伦蒂诺用在电影KILL BILL里。
    而且SHIVAREE是个唱英文歌的法国组合,难得难得。
    加上最近看了不少ORANGE编译的JUDIE FOSTER小时候的电影介绍,觉得这首歌再适合不过了。
     
    There’s a nail in the door                                             
    And there’s glass on the lawn
    Tacks on the floor
    And the TV is on
    And I always sleep with my guns
    When you’re gone
    There’s a blade by the bed
    And a phone in my hand
    A dog on the floor
    And some cash on the nightstand
    When I’m all alone the dreaming stops
    And I just can’t stand
    What should I do I’m just a little baby
    What if the lights go out and maybe
    And then the wind just starts to moan
    Outside the door he followed me home
    Well goodnight moon
    I want the sun
    If it’s not here soon
    I might be done
    No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
    Goodnight moon
    There’s a shark in the pool
    And a witch in the tree
    A crazy old neighbour and he’s been watching me
    And there’s footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
    Something’s under the bed
    Now it’s out in the hedge
    There’s a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
    And I hear something scratching through the wall
    Oh what should I do I’m just a little baby
    What if the lights go out and maybe
    I just hate to be all alone
    Outside the door he followed me home
    Now goodnight moon
    I want the sun
    If it’s not here soon
    I might be done
    No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
    Goodnight moon
    Well you’re up so high
    How can you save me
    When the dark comes here
    Tonight to take me up
    The mouth from woke
    And into bed where it kisses my face
    And eats my hand
    Oh what should I do I’m just a little baby
    What if the lights go out and maybe
    And then the wind just starts to moan
    Outside the door he followed me home
    Now goodnight moon
    I want the sun
    If it’s not here soon
    I might be done
    No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
    Goodnight moon
    No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
    Goodnight moon
    shivaree2

    门上有钉,草坪上有碎玻璃,地板上有裂痕,电视开着
    你走以后我睡觉都带着枪
    床上放着利刀,我手里握着电话,狗趴在地板上,床几上有些现金
    当我独自一人,梦也停止了,站立都不能,我该怎么办?我仅仅是个小孩
    如果灯光熄灭那会怎样?又如果门外风声呻吟,他跟随着我不放
    那么,晚安,月亮

    我想要太阳,如果不能马上看到阳光,我也许就会完蛋了,

    不,不会这么快的,直到我说,晚安,月亮
    池子里有鲨鱼,树上躲着巫婆,一个疯狂的老邻居曾监视我,大厅里传来响亮沉重的脚步声
    床下有什么,已经跑出来了,窗台上停着一只黑乌鸦,我听到墙上传来抓搽声
    哦,我该怎么办?我仅仅是个小孩
    如果灯光熄灭会怎样?或许我只是憎恨孤独
    门外,他跟随着我不放
    现在,晚安,月亮
    我想要太阳,如果不能马上看到阳光,我也许就会完蛋了,

    不,不会这么快的,直到我说,晚安,月亮
    你离我那么远,你如何能够拯救我
    当今夜黑暗来临,他带我离开
    清醒后的嘴唇
    探到床上亲吻我的脸
    舔着我的手
    我该怎么办?我仅仅是个小孩
    如果灯光熄灭那会怎样?又如果门外风声呻吟,它跟随着我不放
    我想要太阳,如果不能马上看到阳光,我也许就会完蛋了,

    不,不会这么快的,直到我说,晚安,月亮

    PUB---FRANCE CLOSE

    昨天在CANAL +les Guignols节目里看到了一个超赞的‘广告’,是ORANGE OPEN广告的政治恶搞版。这则广告的VO版是全世界人民涂了蓝板举起来,结果卫星上看起来就象是地球消失了,配上节奏轻快简洁的音乐,体现ORANGE开放, 沟通, 自由, 了解和无距离的主题,也算是个中规中矩的上乘广告,到了VG版,就实在是讽刺搞笑了--—全体法国人民(准确的说是全体没颜色的法国人民),夹杂的众多的政治人物,都在努力的涂蓝板(上台至今,萨总到底要搞什么计划?),包括一只被上了笼套的狗在用尾巴涂,(最近很红的新闻是恶狗伤人,所有一级二级烈犬要带套套),然后大家举板板。。。飞机上的黑人先生对黑人太太说,啊,你看,法国不见了,我们不能去法国了。然后正方形橘色LOGO出现,不过ORANGE字样换成了FRANCESLOGAN换成了CLOSE(广告背景音乐和VO一样)。这样的广告是应该得金狮奖的,哈哈哈哈!!太绝了。

    没有人

    一天魔王把公主抓到
    魔王 :「你尽管叫破喉咙吧...没有人会来救你的....」
    公主 :「破喉咙..破喉咙..」
    没有人:「公主..我来救你了...」
    魔王 :「说曹操曹操就到...」
    曹操:「魔王..你叫我干嘛..」
    魔王 :「哇勒..看到鬼」
    鬼 :「靠! 被发现了..」
    靠 :「阿鬼,你看的到我喔...」
    魔王 :「Oh,My God!」
    上帝 :「谁叫我?」
    谁 :「没有人叫你阿...」
    没有人:「我哪有? 装蒜啊!」
    蒜 :「谁在装我?」
    谁 :「又说我? 你们找麻烦啊?」
    麻烦 :「哪一个找我?」
    哪一个:「找你? 我才没有...咦,这儿有好多人.」
    好多人:「我才刚到耶……你是谁?」
    哪一个:「我才不是谁.」
    谁 :「他才不是我.」
    公主 :「大家都是来救我的吗?」
    大家都:「我不是来救你的, 是来看热闹的.」
    热闹 :「我有什麽好看的?」
    上帝 :「不关我的事,先走了.」
    。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
    下面还有N长就不转了,想到这个是因为最近看的两部美国电影都用的这种搞笑的段子,
    一个是Planet Terror里Fergie遇到腿划伤了的Cherry,就关心的问她,Are you ok? Cheery: ‘No, I'm cherry.'
    另外就是在The Brave One(A VIF)里,Erica救Chole的时候,Chole问她,Who are you? Erica: ‘I'm nobody...'后来和探长在医院里,Erica就告诉Chole Say the truth,Chole就说了,I saw nobody, nobody saw me.真实在的TRUTH啊!!

    GRINDHOUSE--Planet Terror

    Grindhouse(磨坊电影)是由Quentin Tarantino(拍的Death Proof)和Robert Rodriguez(拍的Planet Terror 合出的向B级类型片致敬的影片,他们各自拍了一部独立的约90分钟的电影然后一起在美国上映,而在其他地方,出于票房收入的考虑一般都是分开上映了。   

                            

    B MOVIE即是指一些不以所谓的“艺术追求”为“主要”目标的(故娱乐性是其主特点)小成本制作电影,因制作粗糙,经常会出现跳线,配音和画面不合,剧情CAMPB级片囿于资金、人力的限制,可能会在很多方面考虑不周,又会在很多方面露出窘迫的硬伤来。特别是当B级片的题材是关于英雄人物时,其简陋的制作大部分时候都不足以撑起那个英雄的角色和行为。这就使得那些本该气壮山河、摄魂夺魄的正经场面,反而透出令人忍俊不禁的荒诞来。如此这般,就是通常意义上的Camp),画面颜色失真,菲林损坏等等问题。B片剧院,则通常是一张票可以连续看两套电影,中间又会夹些其他电影的预告片。在Grindhouse中也很好的模仿了这个,加了五个假预告片(Fake Trailer)。但之中的Robert Rodriguez会真正拍出Machete

     

    《磨坊电影》中的这两部正片,在对传统B级类型片推陈出新这个结果上是相同的,并且都或多或少地展现了自我的新风格。不同的是,Robert RodriguezPlanet Terror主要是在B级片既有框架里融合与变调,而Quentin TarantinoDeath Proof则完全游离出以往类型片的模式,以个人化的艺术手法同时颠覆和创新着原始类型片的内核。

     

    主要谈谈本道今天看的Robert RodriguezPlanet Terror。他主要模仿的是丧尸电影,就是僵尸,撕吃尸体,血腥这些元素。将其残忍,暴力,恶心程度推到新高度,还将一些血腥恶心镜头拍的很清晰。但一开片的主题音乐和女主角跳的Strip-Teaser,却是另一番震撼人心的效果。

    除了片头的Machete预告片,质量出问题的菲林,这片子里还有超多恶搞的地方。

    女主角现在的名字叫Cherry Darling(就是亲爱的甜心),男主角说这象个Stripper的名字,Cherry说我现在其实是个Go-Go Dancer

    CLUB里,老板去后台看到两个Stripper在打Kiss就说,你们干什么呢,把这套留到表演的时候。

    收集蛋蛋的英国科学家(而且在美国片里科学家总是讲英国腔)。
    几句台词就挂了的Black Eyed Peas主唱FERGIE,她被丧尸扒了,大脑都没了,真正做到了胸大无脑。
    男主角,传说中的神枪手EL RAY,不停唠叨“那件夹克我找了2个礼拜”。
    一警员死命要拿回他的戒指,绝对的The Lord of the Rings,待他想要戴戒指却发现无名指断了,无奈只能戴到中指上(据说此客串是个著名的特效师,FROM DUSK TILL DAWN里也客串过)。
    Cherry
    EL RAY嘿咻时竖起一条木桌腿,嘿咻到一半正是高潮时,显示菲林损失,院线长深表道歉。
    警长带领手下进入BONE SHACK前回头很严肃的说“开枪时特别注意别打到我。”

    女麻醉师的手被她医生老公用麻醉针戳了之后,她的角色设定就一直按KILL BILL的来。

    女麻醉师家请的是对双胞胎保姆,(有必要是双胞胎么?据说此二女是导演的侄女,这也符合B电影资金不够剧组亲戚上。)

    女麻醉师在车里对儿子说,“除了我,谁靠近就对谁开枪…特别是你爸” 结果儿子一开枪就把自己的头崩了。她跑向房子,这时的镜头运用是LYNCH式的。
    强奸犯(Quentin Tarantino 客串)对Cherry说,“你长得像Eva Gardner。。。如果我在你头上开一枪(仔细形容了怎么开枪)。。。你就一点也不像她了。”

    警长弟弟不忘开BONE SHACK的厨师哥哥的秘方,最后哥哥JT把方子告诉他,两个人一起满足的嗝屁了。

    逃跑时女麻醉师把她儿子的MINI-MOTO给了EL RAY,真是很MINI啊,结果后来跑过大卡车,EL RAY就让女麻醉师上了Cherry的机车,Cherry自我介绍I'm cherry,女麻醉师说Yes, you're, 然后抱着她意味深长。

    Cherry往地上发射M16的榴弹借助推力顺势腾空而起越过墙头,这个镜头酷毙了,但绝对是个Camp,但算是个Intended Camp

    结尾时CherryM16改成链式机枪(无语…将来会升级成RPG的吧?)。

     

    总之,此片之奇妙之处不是本道寥寥此语可以叙尽的。

    THE ACCIDENTAL--台湾巫維珍评(转贴)

    琥珀行走於室

    有女名叫琥珀行走於室
    萬事因此皆成新製之詩。

    一個女子走進四口之家,她會帶來什麼?在看似穩固的中產階級家庭,名叫「琥珀」的女子,她的出現讓一切變得不一樣,但變化是新生的嗎?還是原本就是人們內心的惡魔?《迷》正想提出這個問題。琥珀像是中古時代的女巫,有時帶來好的,有她的晚餐,「家」可以變成理想中的美好,有時又讓我們心生猶疑:家人的感情可以敗壞若此。琥珀真是「琥珀」?她到底是什麼?

    「琥珀是誰」?從家庭成員的生活可以看出「琥珀」的樣貌多變。首先,對於家庭成員來說,琥珀之於他們有不一樣的意義,她在他們內心的名字也因而不同。兒子麥格納斯,十七歲,他希望自己是一條魚。或許是鯨魚,或許是流過魚的水與空氣,一隻狗也好,他可以做只有一種呼吸感的生物。當他決定結束自己的生命時,琥珀救了他。琥珀在這裡被稱為「天使」,麥格納斯準備在浴室上吊時,天使說:「沒事。」甚且,天使還開發了他的感官。

    父親麥可是大學教師,除了教學之外,他懂得如何「勾引」學生上床,以分辨學生成績的好壞。這些例行公事終於顯出它的疲乏性;遇到主動來找他的學生,在辭典旁邊很快完事的那一刻,他感覺自己是「被學生上了」。這或許是他中年焦慮的開始。所以當琥珀來臨時,他的「一顆心如羽翼翱翔在天」。他開始有行光合作用的可能:長出新綠的葉,一切都變得具有無限可能。琥珀是他的「光」。

    女兒愛思翠和琥珀一同出門,拿著攝影機到處拍攝,琥珀說,你知道攝影機對一個人的用處是什麼嗎?它是監視器,隨時錄下你在公共場所的動作,但只有出事的時候,人們才會去檢查監視帶,平常是沒什麼用的;還有,如果你工作的地方有攝影機的監視,你是否會養成被觀看的姿勢,想像有人正瞧著你,隨時隨地必須保持最佳狀態!然而,攝影機對我們的重要性是什麼?爸媽送你的呀?摔了它吧。現在可以感覺攝影機的必要嗎?它一定需要嗎?一定能成為觀看的證人嗎?很抱歉,又沒有攝影機看到琥珀摔了它。而且爸媽居然不介意琥珀的行為!對於愛思翠來說,琥珀是顛覆生活的傢伙。

    母親夏娃是作家,她被琥珀給困惑了:為何她一來,家庭晚餐變得如此溫馨,女兒的微笑像是小時候那麼巧可愛,兒子還願意下樓和大家一起吃飯,幫忙洗盤子,搞不好她和我老公有一腿。但如果不是的話,到底該怎麼看待這個陌生女人?她對我笑什麼啊? 她為何用力搖我一下?怎麼把我的人生搖成這樣?對於夏娃來說,琥珀是個激起她人生疑問的「問號」。

    每個人給予琥珀不同的定義,琥珀也給予了家庭與人生的不同意義,同時也挑戰事物的既有價值觀:像是夏娃身為作家的使命感,促使她想要加入伊拉克戰爭的題材,她的兒子卻說支持對伊拉克的開戰,還問:什麼是無辜?什麼是愚昧?所以夏娃到底應該做什麼呢?再者,當作者展開小說內涵意義的討論時,她也開啟了書寫形式的新義:敘事者的自問自答、各類組詩、數學等式、粗細不同字體、援引電影音樂戲劇的典故,……這與琥珀探索他們內心的多樣性,若合符節。

    故事一開始,琥珀之於每個人都有不同的名字,故事的結束,夏娃開始懷疑琥珀是否真的存在?說不定只是他們心中的魅影。當全家在鄉下結束度假回城,發現家裡被小偷光顧,帶走了所有東西,以前的種種,好像真的沒有存在過;掏空的一切,反而可以再添加些什麼。被琥珀攪得一團亂的一家人,人生有了新的可能。

    P.S 如同众多的文学作品,在中国大陆找不到译作,而台湾或是香港,虽顶着文学沙漠的名声却无疑有更自由的空间。以前常购一本杂志〈港台文学选刊〉,其中可以读到诸多类型的文学作品,和当初国内接触到的都不一样,让本道惊为实验小说,却不过是已有的创作方式。

    MR BROOKS--但我不是要谈这位先生

    这部片子在美国早就上映了,内容啊评论啊什么本道也没兴趣谈,就想说说里面的Mrs BROOKS是Marg Helgenberger演的,真是分身有术啊,同期的CSI不见她缺席(不象老G William L. Petersen去演个什么电影,大张旗鼓的消失了四集,剧组弄出个费老大力宣传---特意用了个网址---的KEPPLER,还把他的故事拍得SIN CITY似的,个人觉得他象融化版面包。)也可能Marg是用业余时间去拍的。
    再就是在电影里演她女儿MISS BROOKS的Danielle Panabaker ,是CSI第七季度里演她女儿Lindsey Willows的Kay Panabaker的姐姐。本道真是喜欢这种乱七八糟绕来绕去的关系啊,每次看完片子都在网上查询错综复杂的名字。
    本片另一个应该让本道感兴趣的是演女警察的Demi Moore,但被人评价是奉献了从影以来最“木讷”的一次表演,从头到尾像一尊石像,表情都没变过。这个。。。这个。。。那还能看吗?

    ALI SMITH---HOTEL WORLD

    这本书看完了,第一个感觉是需要读第二遍。
     
     
    竟然在一个台湾书籍网站上找到它的部分中文翻译版。
    如果挖得再深一点,应该能找到英语原版,但注意,是ECOSSE ANGLAIS,可没勇气去读,在Notes on a Scandal里这种英语已经让本道又晕又吐。
     
    这本书的主要内容嘛,本道借用一下台湾版介绍:
    五個女人, 四個過客, 三人陌生, 兩個姊妹, 一個鬼魂, 五個不同的世界,交會在一間飯店的某個夜晚,循著升降梯帶出的一個意外,我們閱讀了死亡,傷痛,希望與愛,經歷這世間所加諸於人的一切...
    意識流的寫法透過敘事者傳達一個意:我們終將活下去! 本書入圍2001年
    the Booker Prize以及the Orange Prize決選書單
     
    有人把ALI和VIRGINIA相比,因其意识流的手法。本道要说的是,VIRGINIA的意识流要难读多了,至今未读完是本道莫大的遗憾啊!

    GUILLAUME MUSSO--SAUVE MOI 救救我

    经某人介绍,看起GUILLAULME MUSSO的小说,由SAUVE MOI开始。
    其实本书并不符合本道几年来阅读的倾向,可是某人说好,看在我们都曾经一排PATRICIA CORNWELL份上,且来一读。
    网上搜索的中文评论意见平平,不过也好理解,看了一点原著后就知道,做为一本通俗小说,讲的是西方世界的环境人事,更象是好莱坞似电影。
    刚刚读了开头几章,还好不算难看,NEW YORK--SEX AND CITY,男主角是儿科医生,专长心理--ER,女主角是到美国寻梦已三年的28岁法国女人--一如我们在国外彷徨。。。熟悉的背景,行文流畅易懂 ,难怪很快进入热书行列。
    当然还不仅仅是这些,待本道继续读下去,再来解解它的神神怪怪。
     
    20/07 接下来发展的是, Destination Finale,明日头条,New York Crime, City of Angels。。。加上每章开头都是引用的一些电影台词,看来作者的电影和美剧功底很深啊,本道忍不住就直接翻最后一页了。
