紅豬 - 真紅の翼

紅豬裡出現的插曲，久石讓作曲，薩克斯風吹得令人入迷，既瀟灑又令人心碎，就是紅豬啊。

Fred Claus (2007)

 

聖誕老人(Santa Claus)有一個憤世嫉俗且幼稚的哥哥(Fred Claus)，Fred厭惡聖誕節，因為博愛的聖人弟弟從小獲得了爸媽所有關愛的眼神。

Fred Claus(中譯：聖誕老兄)很典型，必定走向兄弟和解，Fred不再憤世嫉俗的圓滿結局。但是劇情一步步並不落俗套，張力都很夠，累積到最後蹦出的感動超乎想像。也許主要是因為Vince Vaughn飾演碎嘴、機車的Fred，與Paul Giamatti飾演老好聖誕老人，火花不錯。

一句遲到幾百年卻沒有被遺忘的道歉，如此重要。Fred終於接受了這個優秀的老弟，也終於履行「當全世界最好的哥哥」的諾言。

Yup, there are no naughty kids.

查到對本片的評論、評價，都是不甚正面，但我看這部片卻看的蠻起勁的。大概是因為本來租這片就是為了看Vince Vaughn，還有我對於這種手足關係的片還蠻喜歡的吧。

內湖線！

 

在看過無數試車列車來來回回在內湖線軌道上奔馳後，內湖線終於通車了！今日第一次搭乘的感想是感動無比！人潮很多，可見內湖線的需求有多高。

當列車駛進松山機場時，看著斗大的站名一瞬間好感動，台北也有機場捷運啊！！行經機場旁可以清楚看到不遠處的飛機，停放著或是正在移動。跑道就在旁邊，連跑道號碼的指示燈都十分清晰。從來沒有一刻，台北有座機場的感受這樣真實，車廂裡幾乎每個人都轉向機場的方向，交頭接耳的討論！

美麗華旁的劍南路站相當熱鬧，人潮很多，這家摩天輪百貨總算是熬出頭了，希望生意也能更好。列車行經美麗華旁時，從車廂看出去的景觀也很棒，算是除了看機場之外第二個值得期待的內湖線風景。

第三個好看風景在西湖站，這一站最靠近內科，也是唯一在站旁就能看見瑞光路風格辦公大樓的一站，最顯眼的就是BenQ的大樓。列車駛進月台時，心裡的os只有：哇，高科技啊。

整體而言，內湖線雖然車廂真的窄小了一點，但座位變成電車式的兩排長條座位，卻可以站比較多人；新列車也不改木柵線列車冷氣很冷的本色，夏天搭乘實在很舒服！內湖線善加利用了台北市的美景：機場、美麗華、很漂亮的內科，與整個內湖！我覺得是目前為止最美的一條捷運線呀！

內湖線通車了，今日試乘的感想是感動無比！當列車駛進月台，從車廂內看見斗大的「松山機場」站名，一瞬間好感動，台北也有機場捷運啊！！列車經過松山機場時，可以很清楚的看到不遠處的飛機，停放著或是正在移動。一望無際的機場，原來松山機場是這樣啊！

 

 

Curtis Mayfield - P.S. I Love You from Superbad OST

 

P.S. I Love You / Curtis Mayfield
from Superbad O.S.T.

 

I guess I'II always feel the same
Love is strange
Ah! P.S. I loveyou, Baby

I wouldn't have it any other way
As long as there's been a night and day
It's been you and you crazy ways

I've loved you long as I can remember
Your precious love's burning ember 
Together, Baby, how can we lose 
Always been to me, Baby, a longtime friend 
Been a long, long winter. Glad we're lovers again 

Way back long ago, we made a vow 
I don't quite remember now 
But it ended, P.S. I love you, Baby 
I'm pledging my heart in with you 
Just to be your man 
Give us some kind of chance. I love you, Baby

I've loved you long as I can remember 
Your precious love's burning ember 
Together, Baby, how can we lose 
We are united, Baby, longtime lovers
No need to fight it 'cause we discovered

I love you, Baby 
I love you, Baby 
I love you, Baby

I've loved you long as I can remember 
Your precious love's burning ember 
Together, Baby, how can we lose 
Always been to me, Baby, a longtime friend 
Been a long, long winter. Glad we're lovers again 
We are united, Baby, longtime lovers 
No need to fight it 'cause we discovered

I guess I'II always feel the same 
Love is strange
Ah! P.S. I loveyou, Baby

I wouldn't have it any other way
As long as there's been a night and day
It's been you and your crazy ways

Superbad (2007)

 

男孩我最壞(Superbad)，其實也沒那麼壞，三個大男生(或加上兩個警察變成五個)真情流露，反而很可愛呢。

Superbad片長雖有兩個小時，但流暢毫無冷場讓人不覺時間流逝，劇本寫的很好，台詞更是好到沒話說，幾乎是句句精華了啊！！兩位主角Seth、Evan，正是編劇Seth Rogen與Evan Goldberg兩人的名字，Fogell(McLovin！)也真有其人，在dvd的製作特輯有亮相！製作特輯中，真的Seth說這部劇在他們13歲就開始構思了。也許Superbad這麼動人，就是在戲劇化的情節中，角色的情感卻很真實，讓我們想起酸甜苦辣的成長故事。

Superbad主要的角色都是「男孩」：Seth、Evan、Fogell，兩位警察Slater、Michaels也可說是長不大或抱有童心的大小孩，在同一個陣線。父母、老師等「大人」都在另一個世界，讓他們碎嘴的談論，連Slater和Michaels都在躲警察，破壞警車如學生破壞課桌椅。他們單純的因為喝啤酒開心，單純的為甩尾興奮，單純為了摸一摸槍枝開心，單純的不斷期待著會跟女孩子在派對上發生什麼事，單純的珍惜友誼，從這些方面看來，Superbad真是男孩的浪漫情懷呢！！

Superbad的開頭，Seth與Evan這對從小的好友有一個略略緊張的關係，他們即將從高中畢業，兩人都對即將的分離焦慮，但都不承認。所以Evan不敢告訴Seth大學後他將要與Fogell合住宿舍，Seth卻從Evan電腦裡看到了而默默的吃味。就是因為他們如此認真的在乎彼此，片尾在百貨公司裡，Seth在手扶梯回頭看著越來越遠的Evan才會令人如此惆悵。

Superbad的動人或許在於白爛咖也有纖細真摯的感情這個衝突點，Youtube有許多Superbad的經典場景，不管看幾次還是很好笑，台詞跟演技都太讚！

 

警察闖進Jules家派對、Slater警車甩尾

"We will shoot you!" - Slater

"I assume you all have guns and crack" - Michaels

"Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law" - Michaels

"McLovin? Were you violating that young girl? Were you violating her with your penis?" - Slater

"We just cock-blocking McLovin. He's our friend. We don't do that. We should be guiding his cock, not blocking it." - Michaels

"Tight!" - McLovin

 

Ending scene

"Uh, So I guess I'll call you." - Seth
"Yeah, give me a call. You have my number." - Evan
"I have your information. So, uh, put her there." - Seth 
[shake hands] 

credit list中那些cock draws也太有才華了吧，學貫古今呢！

最後一定要回顧一下這兩個蠢蛋警察的英姿！

'Superbad': Adolescent Id, Awash in Hormones / David Edelstein

what federer said after his 15th grand slam championship

I'm happy I broke the record here because this is always the tournament that meant the most to me, It definitely feels like coming full circle, starting it here and ending it here.

It's not really one of those goals you set as a little boy, but man, it's been quite a career and quite a month, It feels amazing, but this is not why I'm playing tennis to break all sort of different records. But it's definitely one of the greatest ones to have.

(to Sampras) Thanks very much for coming. I know it's a long way, but you're a member, man, we like to see you here. It's such a pleasure to play in front of such greats legends.

(referring to Sampras) In a way, I still feel like we share [the record] because he was such a wonderful champion, He still has one up against me here at Wimbledon. It's nice that he shows appreciation for what I'm doing.

I'm aware that Rafa didn't play here, Injuries are part of the game, unfortunately, but I'm happy I became No. 1 in the world by winning this title because this is the biggest one there is out there. I love playing here.

This year is crazy, Things didn't look so good when I lost in the final of the Australian Open, which was still just an unbelievable result. But to come through and battle back and win Paris and now Wimbledon back-to-back, something Bjorn did a couple of times, it's amazing.
