紐約，我愛你。New York, I Love You

參與演出的演員多是熟面孔，這部電影讓我想起【巴黎我愛你】，也是一部由眾多導演執導小短片結合而成。
短片比一般長度電影來得有魅力的地方是充滿了更多的想像，劇情通常更加零碎、破散，但也因此，給人一種又真實又不可思議的浪漫感。
從一開始搭同一部計程車的兩個年輕人，到片尾的兩個老夫妻，每一段故事都很精彩。老夫妻的對話設計得實在太令人驚奇，對話之中沒有一句不是在鬥嘴、沒有一句說了我愛你，但奇怪的是，兩個人的情感讓人感動不已，尤其是在爬樓梯的時候兩人氣喘吁吁還要指責對方，而指責的話語之中又充滿了關愛，印象最深刻就是這一段。
愛情的故事在紐約有不一樣的方式，不只在紐約、巴哩，台北、南投、花蓮都一樣吧。記得其中有一段，某個人說了他就是愛紐約充滿了不是紐約人的特性。也許就是因為如此，可以更加大方展現不能在同種文化中大肆鳴放的各種古怪想法，愛情的樣子，才有了我稱為浪漫的模樣。
小偷想藉由小偷的技術把妹卻把到超級小偷的女人、在街邊向借火點菸的女子調情卻遇到妓女、參加舞會女友帶著其他男人爽快自己卻因為憨厚而帶著坐輪椅的女子(結果那女子是演員，演坐輪椅的女子，他們在中央公園一棵樹下做愛，假裝半身不遂的人如何做愛？她拿了皮帶繞過樹枝，雙手拉住皮帶往上提支撐住自己身體重量，男人站著進入她的身體。事後，男子才知道他是演員，心中彷彿得到了救贖。)、詭異的殘障飯店服務生與年邁法國女歌手、小女孩與親生父親的奇幻對話與觀看世界的眼睛、以為西方男子聽不懂廣東話的maggie Q與洗衣店員工、用生命卻仍來不及完成人物像眼睛的畫家......。這些劇情都很精彩也很深刻。
很喜歡這種短片匯集而成的描述某個城市的電影，類似的還有東京奏鳴曲吧，這種電影對城市的情感，是很強烈的。

Burn after reading

HBO的lunch time movie，中文片名是"布萊德彼特之即刻毀滅"

超級幽默的片子，也許有點無聊，但它把好幾條線巧妙(也可以說硬扯)地串連在一起，把人性過於驕傲、自我的一面展露無疑。
我們以為很重要的事，在別人眼裡，像狗屎一樣不值錢且令人發噱啊。
片子裡有許多大明星，布萊德彼特的演技令我驚奇，有些電影不必有太緊湊的故事，因為生活就是如此平凡，而且，有許多看似複雜的結果，其實簡單又錯誤得嚇死人。
我們的確太擅長於解釋現象了，一切，捲曲地如變態一樣。

發人省思的一部電影。

劇情如下(wikipedia)：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_After_Reading

Osborne Cox (John Malkovich) is a CIA analyst who quits his job at the agency after being demoted, ostensibly because of a drinking problem. He then decides to write a memoir about his life in the CIA. His wife, pediatrician Katie Cox (Tilda Swinton), wants to divorce Osborne and, at the counsel of her divorce lawyer, she copies many of his personal and financial files off his computer and onto a compact disc. The lawyer's receptionist accidentally leaves the disc at Hardbodies, a health club. After her husband is served with divorce papers, Katie puts all of his belongings out in the street and changes the locks to keep him out of their house.

Two employees of the gym, Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) and Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) obtain the disc from the gym's custodian. Seeing the content of the memoir, they assume that it is highly classified information. Initially Chad and Linda plan to give the disk back to Osborne hoping for a reward, intending to use the money to pay for Linda's cosmetic surgery. However, after a confusing phone conversation and fury on Osborne's part, their original plan descends into a blackmail attempt. Chad meets Osborne, who, aware that the "information" is merely his memoirs, refuses to pay and punches Chad in the nose. Linda decides to take the information to the Russian embassy. At the embassy, she hands the disk over to the Russians, promising that she will give more information afterward. Because they don't actually have any more information, they decide to break into Osborne's house to steal more.

Katie has been having an affair with Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney), a womanizing Treasury agent who's spooked by unknown people who have been following him. By chance he has recently met Linda online and begun an affair with her as well. Chad stakes out Osborne's house and breaks in when he sees Harry and Katie leave. Harry, however, returns later after a jogging exercise. Surprised at finding Chad lurking in a closet, Harry reflexively shoots him point blank in the face. Chad is not carrying ID and has cut the labels out of his clothes; when Harry sees this, he thinks Chad is a spy and disposes of the body. Two days later at the CIA headquarters, an official (David Rasche) and his director (J. K. Simmons) learn that information from Osbourne has been transferred to the Russian Embassy. They learn this from the spy the CIA has within the Russian Embassy. While observing their cases on Harry, Osborne and Linda, they are perplexed as to what is going on and decide to maintain observation until the situation "makes sense".

A few days later, paranoid since he killed Chad, Harry leaves Osborne's house after a brief argument with Katie. On his way out, he spots the man who has been trailing him for some time across the street and chases him down, thinking the man works for the CIA or some other government agency. Harry discovers instead that the man works for a divorce firm hired by his wife, who is later revealed to have been cheating on him as well. Harry is devastated and goes to see an agitated Linda, who confides in Harry that her friend Chad is missing; he agrees to try to help find him (not knowing that Chad is the man he killed in Cox's home earlier).

The next morning, Harry and Linda meet in a park (Harry assuring her that he is over his paranoia) and she provides him with more information about Chad's disappearance. When Harry realizes that Chad is the man he killed, he becomes paranoid once more and flees in terror, assuming that Linda is also a spy. Linda then turns to Ted Treffon (Richard Jenkins), the manager of Hardbodies, who has feelings for her. Believing that the Russians have kidnapped Chad, he agrees to look for more information in Osborne's computer. But Osborne, finding that Katie has emptied their bank account, decides to break into his own house with a hatchet to take her liquor and jewelry. Finding Ted at his computer, Osborne shoots him. Ted survives and runs out of the house, but Osborne grabs the hatchet and kills him in the street.

The movie ends at CIA headquarters a few days later, where the official and his director are trying to sort out what happened: The CIA have cremated Chad's body after fishing it from the Cheasapeake Bay where Harry had disposed it, although they do not have any information on his identity. Ted is deceased, and Osborne is in a vegetative state after being shot by a CIA operative who had been tasked with observing him (the agent felt he could not stand by while Osborne was killing a man in broad daylight and took action). Harry and Linda have been arrested; Harry was caught trying to board a flight to Venezuela (which is stated by the director not to have an extradition treaty with the US), but the director decides to let him go to get him out of their hair. Linda promises to remain silent if the CIA will finance her plastic surgery. The baffled CIA agents, not wishing to complicate the matter any further, agree to her terms and begin to wonder what they've learned from their case, if anything at all.

piss

有時候想大便，蹲在馬桶上，但是卻只放了個屁或是尿尿就屎意全消，這時候站起來都會覺得很尷尬，也會猶豫一下要不要拿衛生紙擦一下，如果擦了，就真的變成女性了吧。

好像...好像變成了女人，也深怕被發現我坐著尿尿。

但，我其實是想大便的。

原意

擬摹一個人物的表情給人看，如果不像，那是很沒面子的事情，這時候，這張畫還有什麼用處呢？是的，你就別說你是要把它畫成某人的樣子了，就消在畫上做一點修改，讓畫更有個性一點點，然後再把他說成那是你想像的某種意境高深的東西，那就可以得到百分之兩百三十的尊敬。

重點就在於：不要讓人知道你的原意，除非你的執行和你的想像是百分之百的吻合。

做錯事情被發現以後往往會出現"解釋"這個程序，解釋大概就是在說明原意、出發點...等等根本已經發生在過去的事實與受影響者之間真的扯不上關係的空泛的無形東西。原意是好的又怎麼樣呢？就像看梵谷畫展，他初期的人物畫作說實在的，我看得膽顫心驚，我真覺得畫得不怎麼樣，而且甚至有點讓人尷尬的。問題大概就在於我們把它想成、他把它想成要是很像物體原貌的一幅畫。假如畫得粗一點、抽像一點、誇張一點，那就不必陷入解釋這一切的泥沼，而且有人會自動鑽研、解釋成他們為了要讓自己看來更有深度的那一種解釋方法，造就了你的非凡。

就算我的出發點很差勁，但我就是能討人歡心，那不就好了嗎？沒有人要細細品嘗你的出發點，因為，那是你嘴巴說得算。



就像這樣：(對了，順道徵婚：年輕、多金、有樓、有房、有腹肌、會畫3D圖)

無聊的事

是不是喪失了某些能力？喪失了認真做一些無聊的事情的能力？
假若能認真地做一些無聊的事情，那是一個人在工作以外最受人欣賞的個人行為表現吧。
認真地在紙上挖洞；認真地分割膠帶；認真地用水杯接水；認真地吃ㄧ圈吐司邊...，越是懦弱沒有勇氣與自信的人，越不敢光明正大地做這些事情，很遺憾的，人越長越大，越來越像靜物一樣死寂而又自覺不可一世或自認只是個邊緣人。

胸部

女人常會說：男人除了欣賞女人的外表之外還會注意什麼東西？

我會回答是胸部。

胸部不是外表，胸部往往被遮住，胸部的形狀更能說明一個人的個性。有豪放的、低調的、不自覺的、性感的、誇張的、不害臊的、卑微的、聰明的、猶豫的、積極的...。

 

空氣人形

按照既定的計劃在看完該死的危險物品消防安全設備一個半小時之後，到目前唯一還在播放空氣人形的西門町大爛電影院絕色影城看這電影。

第一次看到brochure的時候以為是什麼浪漫愛情片，後來以細看內容才知道是充氣娃娃活過來的的電影，大感興趣。這女生我不認識，但長得一副AV女優的樣子(我不是歧視)，電影裡面有露點是這印像形成的一個因素，但最主要的是它扮演的角色，它是中年餐廳點餐手深夜下班後聊天、做愛(洩慾)的對象，起初它不會有反應，那種順從的樣子，像極了A片裡女優寧願受辱被一堆人顏射、尿尿、吃屎、假高潮抽蓄、吞精...，所以才覺得它像極了AV女優，是在說它扮演的性格。

電影播放的時候，後面坐了好幾個小女生，一直講話，吵死了。

在它初變成人的初期，它走路還是像充氣娃娃一樣地僵硬，關節處磨擦會有噶噶的聲音，好死不死我坐的椅子在我移動身體時也會發出那個聲音，我因此覺得很不自在，好像...我也變成了充氣娃娃。

這中間在講述的是一種空的狀態，每個人的心中都有一些思想，為了貫徹思想必須影響別人，而別人為什麼要受你影響而改變呢？這之間造成了人與人的對話、交流，因此產生一些問題、麻煩。如果你面對的是充氣娃娃，你可以不用擔心它是不是不喜歡天文、它是不是不喜歡做愛，你可以跟它講一個晚上的獵戶座或是用狗趴式狂幹它25個小時，之後再把它的陰道取下，拿到蓮蓬頭下用鹼性皂好好清洗裡頭的精液。它不會不同意的，你同意嗎？

後來它漸漸學會了說話、與人交流，也愛上了影片出租店的男店員。它不小心被鐵架劃破手臂，洩氣，身體越來越扁，那男的看到這一幕的表情跟我看到這一幕的表情一樣錯愕。我錯愕的是接下來導演怎麼處理這段影像與劇情；他錯愕的是：怎麼好好一個人變成會洩氣的塑膠皮？在驚訝之餘他很機警地拿了膠布貼住被劃破的地方，然後從它肚臍眼的吹氣口趕緊將它充氣。這一刻這女生已經更確定愛它了。一個錯誤的導向之後，女生以為這男的跟它一樣是充氣娃娃變成的。這男的像我前面提到的一樣，可能對這一切太好奇，要求要將它洩氣，似乎是要觀察它的變化。充氣娃娃很習慣答應別人無理的要求，甚至是和錄影帶出租店老闆打上一砲也可以，反正，只要把陰道拿出來洗一洗就OK了。

這男的就這樣反覆地洩氣、吹氣，殊不知這動作已經影響到"她"了，她為愛而忍受這些舉動。那我們生活呢？我們也為了某些事情在忍受吧！

他熟睡之後，她也想做一樣的事，她想要幫他洩氣。這一幕令我大為吃驚！她拿刀劃破他肚皮，在天真地拿膠帶貼起來(有樣學樣)，她問：你的充氣孔在哪裡呢？

血流如注，他被放在垃圾區(人是可燃物；充氣娃娃是不可燃物)。



如果有一天，我們依賴的某樣沒生命的東西不見了，我們會感傷嗎？還是僅止於新品到來的那一刻？

最近看的東西，都在讓我思考"存在"，存在究竟怎麼一回事？一顆蘋果存在這裡；一條魚存在這裡；剛剛看小說得到一段很有意思地東西：一隻被你母親形容成天真爛漫又優雅的貓，牠也存在嗎？牠的這一個性格有改變牠的功能嗎？牠似乎也只會在家裡拉屎、睡覺、吃貓飼料，然後偶而走來走去。更諷刺的是，在你這麼稱讚牠的優秀性格時，牠正躺在沙發上拉了一坨屎。
