Orange Juice

Orange Juice

Jennifer LIU
Mid-Autumn Festival, 2007

I would like to have a glass of orange juice with you.
Beer is too complicated,
while orange juice is so much better.
It is so pure,
and so sweet,
just like you.

This poem was dedicated to someone. He would never know, though.

I Did It My Way

和同学去MELODY唱歌了。

各种不同类型的歌都唱了一些，有的类型的歌平时都很喜欢，但唱起来觉得似乎没那么容易——之前高估我自己了。

比如这首Frank Sinatra的My Way.

Eye of the Beholder Extended Ending

As one of my favorite movies, Eye of the Beholder has the kind of saddening effect that has been haunting me ever since I watched it for the first time. Mostly this is because of its heart-breaking ending, with Joanna (the leading actress) dying in the arms of Eye (the leading actor). And I remember as the "cast" rolled, I thought: This CANNOT be the ending!

I guess a lot of fans of Eye of the Beholder would find this extended ending comforting.

The dialog in English:

Eye: "Who are you visiting?"
Girl: "My mum. And you?"
Eye: "My wife. - What's your name?"
Girl: "Lucy!"

Unforgetable Laughters

《我爱我家》主要演员文兴宇因病去世。

永远怀念。

South Park is Funny, Crudely

昨天我看了几集“久仰大名”的《南方公园》，虽然不能说名不虚传，但也可以说至少让人印象深刻了。

我并不是按顺序来看，就是随便找了两集来看。我看的第一集，在前十分钟内就已经让我说不出话来了，那集讲的是Cartman拍照片的故事——当然看过的人都知道那集讲的是什么…可以说惊世骇俗。

我原来还有听闻《南方公园》有些库布里克，这话没说错。事实上我从来没有看过库布里克的作品，例如他最著名的《发条橙》，但我看过《人工智能》，还看到有评论说里面集中“屠杀”机器人的场面是斯皮尔博格在向库布里克致敬，我还看过一些库布里克作品的评论，所以我想我大概知道库布里克在作为一个形容词时的涵义。

“残忍”是一个很重要的元素，我感觉里面还有一种反抗，但这种反抗又是很绝望，是这种绝望比残忍更让人痛心。所以一个人可以很容易得把画面拍得很残忍，给人视觉上的冲击；但一个人却很难把精神拍得很库布里克，冲击到人的心灵。

《南方公园》有些库布里克，但又不那么纯粹；有些叛逆，但还是没有偏离主流，有点擦边球的意思。不知道是不是它的制作人有意如此，还是它的制作人本意是想要拍一部” THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM CONTAINS COARSE LANGUAGE AND DUE TO ITS CONTENT IT SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED BY ANYONE.”的另类动画片，却只是发现他们最终还是没能逃离主流思想的束缚——来自未来的人们告诉我们要保护环境，Cartman的好友Jennifer Lopez最终还是要离开他以使Cartman成为一个“精神正常”的孩子，诸如此类。

不知道为什么，我突然想起Radiohead的一个动画MV Paranoid Android了。

我想我还是比较喜欢《樱桃小丸子》，简单但又不简单。

Have a Little Patience

Take That is history. Yet sometimes history replays.

Their new single "Patience" is typical brit-pop, and therefore, not bad. The theme is sorta like Enrique's Sad Eyes, though.



And how about Erique's Sad Eyes?
