金融海嘯人人八折

呢個時勢大家都要共渡時艱, 但做人不要太搵笨!
是日午餐: Delifrance lunch set 肉醬意粉承惠三十九, 凍飲加四蚊, 沙律再加十蚊. 佢地呢個價一直未減過仲好似加左三蚊添, 一D都唔平.
點知....十足價, 份量就打個八折. 繼大家樂地毯式燒味飯盒又一經典.
話過無下次!

荒謬影話 : Whirlwind 我班friends有個郭X妮

故事簡單到不得了, 直頭係又天真又傻. 一個基佬走進一班壯年基既朋友圈中, 不停大小動作從中作梗玩分化玩勾三搭四, 令到呢班朋友無寧日個個分手收場. 最後佢當然俾人揭穿, 一句Fuck you就走頭.
都講過不知幾多百次對呢D小本基片好有介心, 唔係故事天真無聊就係製作粗糙無演技. 今回呢都"Whirlwind"雖則小本兼故事過於天真但編劇都幾用心去營造每一場戲, 只覺故事如此結局有D核突.

荒謬影話: Milk 夏菲米克的時代

第一次聽到Harvey Milk既名字係大約十年前左右, 讀左一本有關佢生平既書. 當時我都好敬佩佢, 覺得佢係同運既一個重要人物.
事隔十年, 有關佢既電影出籠, Sean Penn飾演我覺得就好似搵劉華做既一樣, 說服力減半. 尤其Gus van Sant水準不穩, 可以拍好野如"My Own Private Idaho"又或者"Elephant" .但亦可以出現驚心既"Psycho"或"Good Will Hunting". 上次拍Kurt Cobain既"Last Day"無睇到, 所以好想知佢點駕馭呢類傳記片.
結果睇完之後, 吐左一口氣. Sean Penn真係做得好好, 或者再加上建基於真實人物上, 史料令佢能更容易掌握Harvey Milk一舉手一頭足.(原來片中真實既Cleve Jones係片中史實顧問) Gus Van Sant亦都好聰明用上真實新聞片穿插其中, 令到更具震撼力.
可惜雖然講Harvey Milk最後八年既人生, 但似乎只著重左最後一兩年既鬥爭, 而忽略左之前既鋪拜, 略嫌不足. 我諗都係時候拎番本書出黎重讀一次以補不足.

各位觀眾, 五.........張飛!

結果一口氣換左五張港鐵車飛, 慢慢用!

地球停轉日 the day the earth stood still 1951

買左呢張BD都一段時間, 近日終於有時間去睇.
新版改編得一塌糊塗, 而家再睇番舊版, 更令新版看得更差. 舊版講反戰, 隔離鄰舍驚覺可能有朝一日一個核戰飛過黎, 所以先派人黎地球警告眾人, 仲使用少少技倆令地球停頓半個鐘去示威. 但新版既環保主題從以引到外星人毁滅地球真係實在無知到爆, 到頭來仲黎個催淚結局外加夾硬整停地球, 咁咪更加整死個地球?
講番舊版, 舊版並無太喧染外星人係如何神秘或神奇, 反而多左篇幅講"加圖"呢位外星人深入人類社區去體驗生活, 了解人類既特性. 新版中"加圖"決定毀滅地球係因為佢只係個執行者, 打從黎到地球, 已經一心去毀滅地球, 搵人類傾只係個萬份之一既轉機. 舊版反而從一開始佢都只不過係位傳話人, 佢無實權, 只係希望地球人唔好再研制核武, 否則只會連累其他星球及地球人本身. 所以就算結局中地球人咁樣對待加圖, 結果加圖都只係情深一句訓話忠告地球人, 並無話以牙還牙, 呢個更突顯地球人既劣根性, 令控訴更加強烈.
要是新版真係忠實咁改編舊版故事, 或者都可以脫離呢個極爛既境界.

民建聯進攻美國領事館?

【明報專訊】Wargame（野戰）都算係近年流行嘅活動，唔單止社區中心，最近連區議員搞地區活動，都會搞吓Wargame，希望吸引多啲年輕人參與。不過Emily噚日收到一封讀者電郵，見到民建聯 東區區議員黃建彬聽日嘅Wargame活動，宣傳海報上寫住其中一個行程竟然係「進攻美國 領事館」！

Emily馬上向黃建彬了解吓，點解咁斗膽打到去美國總領事館，黃建彬助理李小姐就話，張海報係佢設計嘅，其實成個行程表都係根據佢地幫襯嘅三軍外 展中心提供嘅資料，佢哋亦都係第一次搞，相信「進攻美國領事館」只係兩隊人對打咁啫，並唔係真係走去美國總領事館。李小姐對於有呢個誤會亦都好唔好意思， 話下次會小心斟酌用字。

Outback定Outbreak?

為左去永旺百貨搵張檯仔, 結果兩傻仆出康怡, 點知無功而還.
晚飯時間又真係好難搵食, Pizza Hut人頭湧湧, 但隔離Outback又唔係太多人, 所以決定再戰Outback.
汲取上次東尼羅馬不快經驗, 今次只叫大路野, 應該唔會錯到甩碌卦.
主菜係西冷牛扒, 五成熟, 正! 凱撒沙律更加係少見既美味, 就連最普通既steakhouse pasta都超好味.埋單三九幾, 每人二百都幾值. 唯一要彈係隻碟太細, 每次切牛扒隻碟都變"自行車", 響張檯面四圍走.
爛gag: 是晚try my breast上身, 同B講: Let's try Outback講成Let's try outbreak... 俾佢笑左半晚.

生活炒雜碎(第十三回)

嘩! 真開心, B部HP電腦又死左, 死因: 同上次一樣, 死底板. 三個月內連死兩張底板, 真係嘩哈哈.
打上HP熱線, 職員好細心咁叫我將所有USB線除去跟住開機, 問題係之前一晚我已經試過, 都係唔成功, 所以我同佢講: 尋晚我已經試過勒. 但佢仍然好堅持要我咁做, 結果當然仍然係一樣.
咁我咪同佢講: 麻煩你睇番上次維修紀錄, 根本同今次係一樣. 咁佢check過後話因為上次維修後有三個月額外保養, 所以今次可以免費上門維修. 我同佢講: 可唔可以請師傅今次一次過帶埋底板同ram上黎好過分兩次要成兩個星期先整好. 點知佢話: 師傅會用好專業既眼光去決定.... 我真係無言.
就放長雙眼睇下今次呢部電腦又會整幾耐. 不過我都留後著以防部HP整唔到, 預備買部新desktop俾B, 不遇聯想好定Acer好呢?
