i love Green Day !


在 iphone 的發表上,賈伯斯先生在用iphone的ipod功能時,有一首歌就是Green Day的新專輯American Idiot 中的一首:Boulevard Of Broken Dreams,讓我印象深刻,記得我高三上買過他們的Nimrod,蠻喜歡那張的說,another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life......這首Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)總是可以完整的一起唱著歌詞,本以為他們漸紅之後和oasis一般積弱不振,綠洲總有乾涸的一天,但green day大概還可以茂盛好一陣子吧.

奇愛博士 Dr. Strangelove

它的副標題是 or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,剛剛上網查才發現還有個副標,前幾天的下午看的錄影帶,在鼻塞頭疼的中午起床後,覺得該看點電影了,自從去年十月看的Leonard Cohen的紀錄片及致敬演唱會錄影就沒再看過電影了,下午近傍晚的浩然一樓視聽室,我看了 奇蹟的夏天 / 奇愛博士 / 愛情決勝點,奇蹟夏天讓我完全看不下去,但也還是跳著看完,伍迪艾倫的愛情決勝點也是,不過愛情決勝點果然是伍迪艾倫很會說故事的,奇蹟夏天如同翻滾男孩的操作模式,讓人邊看邊皺眉頭,這個下午只有1964年的黑白片-奇愛博士讓我完完整整地看完,前往蘇俄的轟炸飛機上的嘟哆嘟哆低音配樂怎麼鍋蓋頭好像也有用?而劇情仍舊是極為經典果然是Stanley Kubrick,2001太空漫遊/發條橘子/鬼店,許多經典的情節鏡頭連周星馳都愛用,上拋的骨頭變成太空船/從兩側湧灌而入的紅色潮血,恐怖片的經典元素他全用上了(關於鬼店的經典元素,當時看完片後曾和盛裕著實聊了一會),ㄟ不對,是他鬼店用上的元素後來都成了恐怖片的必用的經典元素,大雪/通訊隔絕的孤島/傳說/鬼魅/迷宮/精神異常/小孩子鬼/浴缸腐屍/湧血/近乎潔癖的乾淨明亮空間卻讓你感到害怕/用日常生活的聲響卻讓你感到恐懼/砍人用的是斧頭連金田一裡的殺人犯都愛用,以上只是鬼店,奇愛博士的結尾讓我措手不及,大概是翻譯的關係漏了一些情節的樣子,原來無法那無法回頭的核子導彈系統正是奇愛博士的貢獻,而 發射飛彈的瘋狂將領的部下/美國總統/奇愛博士 原來是一人分飾的三角,若不說我還真不知道,但發狂的將領走進廁所 直覺他會自殺,果然下一秒就傳來槍聲,之後還有挨槍爆漿的可口可樂販賣機/與核彈一起飛的超high士官/奇愛博士結尾的表情,片末的核彈連環爆與優雅的古典配樂,怎麼都似曾相識?視聽社的五年裡,許多電影皆在半夢半醒之際看完,昏暗的小房間,分不出是否為煙灰的煙灰色地毯,旋轉的吊扇,橘色的塑料煙灰缸,我想我與奇愛博士早已在那第一次昏睡裡接觸,許多的電影記憶皆是攪和不清地進入我的腦海.

Sad Song / Definitely Maybe / oasis

Sad Song
Written By Noel Gallagher

Sing a sad song
In a lonely place
Try to put a word in for me
It's been so long
Since I found this place
You better put in two or three
We as people, are just walking 'round
Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground
What we don't see
Well it can't be real
What we don't touch we cannot feel

Where we're living in this town
The sun is coming up and it's going down
But it's all just the same at the end of the day
And we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it's wrong
So we don't ask why
Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
We're throwing it all away
We're throwing it all away
We're throwing it all away at the end of the day

If you need it
Something I can give
I know I'd help you if I can
If your honest and you say that you did
You know that I would give you my hand
Or a sad song
In a lonely place
I'll try to put a word in for you
Need a shoulder? well if that's the case
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do

Where we're living in this town
The sun is coming up and it's going down
But it's all just the same at the end of the day
When we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it's wrong
So we don't ask why
Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day

Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
You're throwing it all away at the end of the day
