The Covenant [3/5]

// September 19th, 2006 // 2 Comments » // Movie

即使恶评如潮,甚至在rottentomatoes上现在只有2%的好评度-_-,但是这片子还是拿了一周票房冠军,虽然是美国三年来最低的冠军票房。。。不管怎样,俺还是去看了,本来醉翁之意不在酒,是想看其后的The Illusionist的,可惜回国的这几个星期,常去的影院易主,对我们这些邪恶分子打压强度增加,我们被抓包鸟,这是后话。The Covenant算是一部超能力帅哥动作片,4个高中生被称做”Sons of Ipswich”,拥有超能力或说巫术,这种能力13岁开始显露,到18岁时他们会经历一个叫ascend的过程,进而能力彻底爆发,但是使用这种能力是有副作用的,会强烈加速人的老化。就在他们中的一人即将ascend前,另一个人出现了,然后。。。就打打打打呗。其实就故事来说,确实很烂很俗,后面的大战也多少有些虎头蛇尾,但至少一个半小时间我没想逃离影院,所以,也还是可以作为消遣的。

飞机上的电影们

// September 18th, 2006 // 6 Comments » // Movie

回国这一趟,来返的漫长旅途,我打了些小说看,回程还有kenzo同学的签名新书《深瞳》,不错不错。当然还有飞机上的电影们。不过在飞机那种环境下看电影终究是不舒服的,也不见得能看的很进去,就把这些片子凑凑一起列出来吧。

  • Take The Lead [3/5]
    几年前前看过一部街舞的电影 You Got Served,很喜欢,这次的 Take The Lead 算是有点把街头风和国标结合起来,还算好看。最后比赛上两男一女的舞蹈,不错。

  • RV [3/5]
    Robin Williams同学的喜剧,其实我早就对这位同学时刻耍宝有些厌倦了,所以如果不是因为飞机无聊,我估计是不会主动看这片的。不过其实确实还算不错的喜剧,一家人开着辆RV旅游,估计也就美国人比较能做的出来了。

  • Friends with Money [3/5]
    四个小老女人的故事,有钱的,没钱的,家庭和睦的,家庭混战的,没有家庭的。挺典型的闷骚小文艺,Jennifer Aniston为首的四位主角撑起了整部片子,可惜最后一点点没看完飞机就抵达目的地了-_-。

  • Poseidon [3/5]
    海难小大片,可惜评价不好,票房也不佳。确实,没多少新意,特技也就so-so,也许在飞机上无聊的我标准比较低,给个及格分吧。

  • Hoot [2/5]
    几个中学生保护猫头鹰的故事,比较无聊,不容易引起共鸣。

临行前,掏耳朵

// September 16th, 2006 // 5 Comments » // Life

就要走了,却过了两天右耳失聪的日子。起因就是吾母强硬掏耳造成小发炎,去医院看说问题不大消炎药即可,但是还是来好好洗下耳朵吧,不过要先滴碳酸氢钠两天半到三天去软化耳屎-_-。当然,麻烦的就是软化后涨起来听力会受影响。滴了一天后,右耳就开始明显听力下降,到最后一天,左右耳听力极度不均衡,站在我右边说话我基本听不清,显然右耳较脏。。。挨到昨天终于可以去医院清洗了,说来也不复杂,就是用0.9%的氯化钠吸进针管,然后在耳朵里强力射出将耳内杂物通通冲出。强冲下的耳朵感觉还是很诡异的,当然,冲出来的东西,绝对比想象中要多,要恶心-_-。一下恢复了听力,还有点不适应。再然后,发现也适应不了这超干净的耳朵,总觉得两耳受的压力很大,咳,少了耳屎的缓冲吧,yoyo。今天还是那样,耳朵还是没有太适应,要是过两天坐飞机还是没适应,那可就有的受咯。

既然说到掏耳朵,医院的墙上贴着说,这俗话说的“耳不掏不聋”是有道理的,平实随便掏耳朵确实容易造成损伤。要真想清洗,还是去医院吧,看着冲出来的大量的色泽质感可怕的东西,还是很爽快的-_-。

Project Runway 3 at Olympus Fashion Week

// September 15th, 2006 // 1 Comment » // TV

New York Fashion Week! As always, all the top 4 designers from Project Runway 3 showed their collections one of which is the decoy for the sake of TV schedule. I was very much looking forward to their collections since I knew all the top 4 designers have their own points of view, and they are very different from each other. But kind of to my surprise, they all seemed to tune themselves down a little bit too much, thus didn’t really show enough of their “signatures” which I believe they all have. Of course these designers are very talented, and their collections are still good. Some pieces are actually quite interesting. But as collections, I think they all lack some consistencies. Maybe it’s just my taste and I may change my mind anytime especially after I see them in motion. In all, the collections are very good, but just not as refreshing as I expected.

It’s still very difficult to tell who the decoy is. But I don’t think it matters. In season two, the collection I loved the most was from the decoy Kara Janx-_-.

Here are the photos of the collections:

If the links above don’t work, you can also go to Getty Images, and search for “Project Runway Spring 2007” + “names of the designers”.

update: Season one winner Jay McCarroll also showed his Spring 2007 collection (photos) in the Fashion Week. About his collection, all I can say is: How can you not love Jay? His garments are still very refreshing, yet wearable. You can see his signature “circles”, but this time there are squares too and they look amazing. And the colors! I love colors, hehe. Besides womenswear, there are also menswear in the collection. Jay mentioned in his show “Project Jay” that his line won’t be too expensive. Were I have chance, I must buy one of his clothes!

update: There’s no decoy this season. The final winner is Jeffery, though I think Uli deserves to win.

这是一个手机铃声。。。里面的人说的是长治话。。。怀念长治话的或者对长治话小好奇的人一定要下来听听,我当时听到里面那句“这个diao孩的”时,虽然我不会说长治话(但会长普,hoho),也不怎么会说脏话,但还是倍感亲切啊!
