Edward R. Murrow: "To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. Good night, and good luck."

飲食男女

導演/編劇:李安
演員:郎雄、歸亞蕾、張艾嘉、吳倩蓮、楊貴媚、王渝文、趙文瑄、陳昭榮
出品:1994

我真的還蠻喜歡這部片的,特別是煮菜的鏡頭。用著中國菜和中國人的飲食文化,配上外國人的荒謬情節,在每一頓飯的時候,宣布自己的"新聞"。李安對於片裡的每個角色也有特別的琢磨,所以就算故事再荒唐觀眾也會因為認同角色,而認同故事裡他們的決擇。這些演員的演出也都很棒,把他們的角色的演得恰當好處。而這"跟著感覺走"的理念,跟伍迪艾倫去年的電影「紐約遇到愛 (Whatever Works)」,似乎有異曲同工之妙。

My Rating: 8/10

Marry Me

It's beautifully well written as usual by John Updike.
However, I found it quite confusing at the end...

Heroes

This song is unbelievably good. The guitar riffs, the synths, the words.

"You can be mean, and I'll drink all the time,
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact, Yes we're lovers, and that is that"

Lazy Afternoon Mixtape

這個下午不小心又聽了Weezer,好久沒聽了。聽著聽著發現這些九零年代的搖滾團體還蠻適合這樣的下午,無所事事的慵懶下午。所以決定做一個Mixtape給自己聽,同時也回味以前喜歡的歌。
