    Moon

    这样的科幻电影不屑于玩概念和特技、不热衷于展示电影技巧和建模水平,而是专注于展示在现代文明的熏染下人和机器的关系的异化。最出色、最经典的科幻电影就是这样,人和机器的共存、人性和程序共存,甚至是血肉和机械的共存。
     
    PS:影片拍摄完成后,曾经放映给NASA(美国国家航空和宇宙航行局)的科学家看。这些科学家问导演,为什么要在月球的阴暗的一面开采氦-3,因为在月球的明亮的一面,氦-3的储备量更高。对此,导演的解释是在阴暗面开采氦-3不会影响到生活在明亮面的动物。

    Nov 22

    Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life.
    Nov 22 is a Sunday...

    (500) Days of Summer

    This is not a love story. This is a story about love.

    be cool and nice

    Rain season is here and what a perfect time to enjoy the nice and cool time . But I’ve had trouble finding "autumn" lately. Work is too busy and I feel just like I'm living someone else's life.

    鱼 The edge

      

    面临抉择的那一刻,就像处在一个选择的悬崖
    要继续回到过去的生活 也许是很痛苦的
    但是你也可以选择跳下去
    一个全新的 未知的 你从来不曾想象过的世界

    2009年是圣丹斯电影节成立25周年的纪念,作为已经成为高品质小成本独立电影聚集地的圣丹斯电影节自然不会对自己的开幕影片掉以轻心。在2009年1月15日开幕的圣丹斯电影节上,亚当·艾略特的黏土动画片《玛丽和马克思》被选为开幕影片。这是一部讲述笔友之间20多年友情的影片,同时这也是导演的半自传式的影片。故事的主角是两个年龄和教育背景差异巨大的人,一个是8岁的小姑娘,一个是44岁的犹太小老头。两个人的通信跨越了两个大洲,持续了20年。这份笔友之间的友谊随着一封接着一封的书信,就这么保留了下来。影片中充满了不期而遇的感动、笑料以及迫使我们思考的情节,并把观众带入了一场关于友情、自我和对自我的剖析之旅,向人展示了两个人的精神世界、诉说了人类的本源。

    わたしってブスだったの?

    记得很久以前,日剧刚刚开始风靡的时候,在上海电视台看过一部松田圣子主演的连续剧叫做《我是一个丑女人吗?》,十二万分的好看,讲的是一个超强广告文案女的故事。虽然里面大多数的人名都已经不记得了,但里面的人物各个形象鲜明让人难以忘怀。松田圣子试演的女主人公叫做夕子,由于性格倔强能力超强被那些妒嫉的男男女女叫做“章鱼”,即便是遇到种种挫折依然向前猛冲,甚至不惜在男厕所等待他方的决策人员,一直是一副自信满满的样子。  
     
    对片头的印象更深一些:看她娇小玲珑的身躯,不修边幅的邋遢模样,蓬着一头卷发下是张倔强脸孔。清晨上班途中常常怕误点一头摔倒在天桥上,小嘴一撇,忙不迭地拍拍衣服,爬起来继续向前冲。横冲直撞的行事作风,不达目标心不死,口直心快不圆滑,经常得罪人。对她,男人们伪善奉承,女人们避而远之。虽然事业成功,但硬是被好朋友摆了一道,不得不离开公司自己开了家广告公司From Thirty。
     
    网上一直也没搜到那里有下载的,今天在youtube挖到里面主题曲,先重温一下片头吧!夕子并非毫不世故,也懂得见好就收,她是俗气却不失真诚地活着。From Thirty,不知道我到了30岁还会不会有她那样的激情呢?

    6 unique Singapore bars

    With more soul than a dusty old jukebox and more angles than a geometry book, these Singapore bars guarantee you won't be going home early.
     
    Blood transfusion at The Clinic
    Thirsty for something red and sweet? The Clinic at Clarke Quay quenches your darkest medicinal desires.
    There are plenty of Singapore bars, pubs and lounges, but precious few come with both awesome drinks and engaging personality. But for pub crawlers with a sense of adventure -- not to mention a taste for medical malpractice, military history and the best jazz in Singapore -- these unique Singapore bars are worth packing extra tip money for.
     
     

    Camp Bar @ House

    Bar Camp @ House in Dempsey Hill
    A former army camp, Camp Bar @ House does its military heritage proud with a platoon of bartenders who are as serious about serving perfect cocktails as boot camp drill sergeants are about breaking the wills of new recruits. Fresh juices and creative presentation are just part of the everyday code. Care for a Jamaican Black Strap? Here you can take a swig from a bottle in a brown bag, Captain Jack Sparrow-style. After the drinking mission is over, weary commandos can march to Spa Esprit, a plush spa located on the second level.
     
    House specialty: The Mintberry Gin Fizz -- gin, fresh berries, mint, lemon juice, gomme, berry liqueur, soda -- comes in a jam jar.

    El–Sheikh

    El-Shiekh @ Haji Lane 
    More restaurant than bar, El-Sheikh has Egyptian fare and decor straight out of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." Just off Arab Street, guests eat outdoors or lounge indoors among scattered divans while smoking on shishas (Egyptian hookahs). Coffee drinkers bored with the same-old-same-old can get a new kick with a cup of traditional Lebanese coffee, which has a thick texture and is flavored with cardamom.
     
    House specialty: The hookahs are popular and flavors can be mixed on request. Peach and grape smoke anyone?

    Yello Jello Retrobar

    Yello Jello Retrobar
    It’s Beatlemania all over at Yello Jello Retrobar. Inspired by “Yellow Submarine,” this psychedelic bar celebrates John, Paul, George and rock's most underrated drummer by playing groovy remixes and disco-funk mashups. Resident band Retro Groove belts out classic rock 'n' roll covers. Happiness may be a warm gun, but trippy nostalgia gets the smiles returning to their faces at this unique Singapore bar.
     
    House specialty: The tangy Yello Zingy combines pineapple with grenadine and plum wine. Much better than it sounds.

    Jazz@Southbridge

    Jazz@Southbridge
    Jazz@Southbridge’s intimate interior lets you know the minute you walk in that this place is meant for authentic jazz fans and musicians steeped in the soulful tradition of generations past. With a regular lineup of local and foreign musicians, the quality of music here is consistently astounding. The well-stocked bar includes a selection of whiskys and single-malt liquors, such as Lagavulin 21 year old and Glenfarclas 1960.
     
    House specialty: A bottle of Suntory Vintage Malt (1980) goes for S$1,300. It's no longer in production and there are reportedly only a handful of bottles left in the world.

    The Clinic

    The Clinic @ Clarke Quay
    In the middle of Clarke Quay, The Clinic looks like a posh laboratory decorated by Doctor Giggles -- IV stands, test tubes and other quirky medical paraphernalia provide the operative ambience. Down your shots from a syringe or have your food served in kidney-shaped bed pans and on surgical trays. Enjoy it all from the comfort of your wheelchair.
     
    House specialty: The novelty drink to end all novelty drinks -- Sex on the Drip. And, yes, it comes in an intravenous drip bag.
    3C River Valley Road #01-03

    Eskibar

    Eski Bar Holland Village
    Who says you can’t freeze your butt off in a tropical country? Eskibar transports you to the arctic where you can chill like an Eskimo, without the bothersome igloo building and seal hunting. Housed in an industrial freezer, temperatures in this Singapore bar can range from minus-five to just above zero degrees Celsius. Resist the urge to lick the inviting cold metal surfaces.
     
    House specialty: With lychee and blue Curacao, the Eski Blue is a winner.
    Eski Bar Holland Village

    Are Skinny Jeans Still In?

    Yes S.K.I.N.N.Y. skinny jeans. They're basically very tight jeans which become even tighter towards the foot. But they look great.

    About 2 weeks ago, GK and I wen to Orchard ICON for shopping, we each bought a skinny Levis Jeans.
     
    For those that believe in the evolution of fashion, skinny jeans are on their way out the door. Or are they?

    While it can be said that there are certainly jeans that are more popular than others at any given time, classic cuts, like the skinny, never fully go out of style.

    Seriously! Take a look back through fashion history and you'll see that there is a certain way of dress that is always "in," no matter what's going on in the trend world. This way of dress is known as "style." Introduce yourself to it. Get to know it.

    The longest way

      

    The Longest Way 1.0 - one year walk/beard grow time lapse from Christoph Rehage on Vimeo.

    November 9th 2007 - November 13th 2008
    one year on foot - 4646km through China
    unlimited beard & hair growth
    thelongestway.com
    musical score by the kingpins ( myspace.com/theoneandonlykingpins ) and zhu fengbo

    Additional info from Christoph Rehage
    - I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now.
    - All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things.
    - I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful.
    - Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues.
    - The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think.
    - This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting.
    - The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.
