Call me nostalgic

Acid House Kings - London School Of Economics

我是個懷舊的人...
如果我是生在過去, 我也一樣是懷更舊的人 XD

look back, things were so easy
look back, we have hopes and dreams

說說這部電影的敗筆，海報是一個，舒淇是另一個。
其他的，我真的覺得還不錯 (就算是余文樂加 Twins)，就以一部電影而言。

故事圍繞在四個青春期的男孩女孩。
雖然是香港英皇的電影，但是電影本身設定在七零年代的長洲。
拍出來的感覺，很像在台灣二三十年前的鄉下發生的故事。
跟我看過的香港電影，完全不同。相反地，有種非常熟悉的感覺。
而我個人認為，這是一部我最近看過最棒的香港電影。
可見，很多香港電影我都不喜歡。

回到故事本身，我覺得裡面有很多的東西。
用許多的舊電影是我相當喜歡的一段。
李小龍、張徹、甄珍、林青霞、如來神掌還有一堆老電影是我沒有經歷的年代。
但導演用這樣的方式像老電影致敬，我很喜歡。

裡面的笑點不少，我也挺喜歡的。自然又不會太難以接受。
關於戀愛的故事，我覺得還好，雖然也是純愛，但沒有太多感動。
還有在黃秋生陪著兒子的那段，我也相當喜歡。
對於這樣的情節，可以看出導演／編劇的巧思。
而電影裡的這些角色都有成長。我喜歡會長大的電影。

結局也不錯（當然不是舒淇），青春總不免了些遺憾。

總之，是個相當不錯的觀影經驗。

Rob told me...

I like High Fidelity very much.
It's one of the films that's very important to me.
It's like a starting point for me to become like Rob.
A music maniac...

making top 5 lists about everything
making mixtapes for my lover
listening with headphones

I don't know... I'm running out of points.

Anyway. Let's Get It On!

I Feel Fine x2

兩首都叫 Fine 的歌。
一個台灣黃小楨唱的，一個英國詹姆士唱的。

Fine 詞曲by 黃小楨
from 黃小楨 2

Crossing at green light
But almost got hit by a bus
Nearly puke when I see you
Preaching your sick senses to innocent people
I can't believe , I've come to the same end
Red and green don't seem enough
And the y-light ain't helping much

I feel fine , if you care to know
I'm too numb to feel otherwise
I feel fine , if you care to know
I'm always the one who's trying too hard
And fail to grasp

Fine by James
from 'Pleased to Meet You'

I'm a boomerang
In the outback
Keep your throwing arm steady
So I get home
I'm a vampire bat
Out in Shanghai
Haven't eaten in four days
I've ordered in a Chinese takeaway

I show more than I hide
I care more than I cry
I'm a phonograph baby
My wires are live
And I'm in crisscross

Fine. I feel fine.

I'm a fortune cookie
Full of cheap advice
I'm a suicide rookie
Blowing last call

Show more than I hide
Care more than I can cry
I'm a phonograph baby
My wires are live
And I'm in crisscross

Fine. I feel fine.

Citrus

I really love this album, very dreamy, and very full sound of shoegazing.
They are Asobi Seksu, indie band from New York.

Here are the songs that I enjoy a lot from this album.

Anyway, the news is that Ben Gibbard & Zooey Deschanel Get Engage.

Baby We'll Be Fine

by The National

All night I lay on my pillow and pray
For my boss to stop me in the hallway
Lay my head on his shoulder and say
Son, I've been hearing good things

I wake up without warning and go flying around the house
In my sauvignon fierce, freaking out
Take a forty-five minute shower and kiss the mirror
And say, look at me
Baby, we'll be fine
All we gotta do is be brave and be kind

I put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile
I don't know how to do this
I'm so sorry for everything
[repeat]

Baby, come over, I need entertaining
I had a stilted, pretending day
Lay me down and say something pretty
Lay me back down where I wanted to stay
Just say something perfect, something I can steal
Say, look at me
Baby, we'll be fine
All we've gotta do is be brave and be kind

I pull off your jeans, and you spill jack and coke in my collar
I melt like a witch and scream
I'm so sorry for everything
[repeat]
