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!"
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。
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?
It has been a long time since last time I logged on to Blogger. And the next time I tried jennifersadventure.blogspot.com, there was this good old GFW.
Well let it.
Long time no see. How have you been pals? I missed you.
I have been really busy these days, but I learned a lot of new things, and still I am learning. Although I think that probably the lazy days when I logged on to Blogger everyday and shared my thoughts with you will never come back, I am still here--I am not leaving.

昨天开电视，恰巧在放温接受访问的现场直播，我正准备换台，恰巧有个记者问了个有意思的问题，就看了一小会儿。问题有意思，回答更有意思。
后来想，要是把我看的这一小段录下来就好了，可以放在博客上面。然后当天晚上又遇到一个台在重播，我准备好了录，但我早晨恰好看到的那一段却被剪掉了。今天上网搜了一下，找到的中文transcript都是被裁减过的，想要搜英文的却得到上图中显示的结果。
就我看的那一段，只找到了新浪的"director's cut"版本，我就不全引了，因为不想把博客文章弄得太长：
[法国世界报记者]:
最近您在人民日报发表了一篇文章，我想引述其中的一些话，您提到社会主义制度和社会主义民主并不是相互排斥的，您同时还说社会主义的初级阶段还要建设一百年。请问您是否意味着说中国在未来的一百年都不需要民主？
[温]:
我最近这篇文章讲述了一个道理，就是社会主义民主与法制不是悖离的...
问题被砍了一半，回答中最有意思的那一段也被砍了。我也不想说回答中被砍的那一段了，反正是挺可笑的。然后在director's cut版本里还看到有记者问到中国互联网的问题，然后回答就是那些话啦...不看也可以想到。
Hi, Bill, this entry is for you.
I have to admit that I come to realize that my “different pictures” theory simply does not make a satisfactory answer. So I give a second thought to your idea of thinking about life as it is in the universe.
更新（修正表达错误）:
英文到底还是没学到家，最后一句话似乎有歧义。
我要表达的意思是：“可能只是因为今天你的一个微笑，整个宇宙的未来便完全不同。”（如果Carl Jung和Edward Lorenz是对的，那这种情况是完全有可能的。）
但按原文（如上）的表达，很容易被理解成很cliché的含义，即：“如果你微笑着去看待，（在你眼中）整个宇宙的未来便会完全不同。”今天上Livejournal.com发现上不上去了。一查，Livejournal官方已经确认其在中国被封的消息。
没什么可说的。

In some episode (I forget which one) of Prison Break, our beloved character "Van Gogh" passed away. Although it almost becomes a "fashion" to write a "prayer" for every character that died in Prison Break, I do not plan to do so. And it seems that Haywire does not worth it, either—he does not seem to belong to this world where we do.
Then we heard this song Home at Haywire's fall. It felt a bit strange, but not out of place. "Home", such a warm word. It is so warm that people often forget why it is.
Dictionaries would not miss out on the word "family" for the entry "home", yet they might forget the word "destination"—although probably the word "home" "shines" because of, not "family", but "destination". There is a line in Trainspotting said by the character Mark Renton: Here I was surrounded by my family and my so-called mates and I've never felt so alone. Probably he felt this way because he felt his destination missing.
Where is your home? Maybe it is not about family, but it must be about where you belong. Is it where you are now, or is it the neverland that you have been looking for for so long, with blue sky, bright sunshine, and windmills rotating with refreshing breeze?
But I guess the lyrics are right anyway, One day you really got to go home.
