最近的話題主要是電影和電視劇,有很多拍攝的問題,每逢有這些問題,就想問Gabriel,唉,今日又出現一堆幕後製作的疑問,又要請教他,喂,幾時今個星期見面吧。

另外,十二點幾時找了Eddie,哈!他已安全抵港食宵夜中,放洋回歸,當然要見個面啦,他會放一星期假,不知道大家想在甚麼時候見面呢?

另,第二次欣賞星戰III,又在甚麼時候好?

應該是本地唯一有報新聞,以Macintosh Computer 為主的blog* 了,現在個blog 仍然很簡陋,因為由一個「CMS 方面特別地屎的粉皮當admin 」,完全未經polish 就上市,「有一個這麼差的admin,乾脆叫他不要當好了!」

大家只要註冊就可報新聞,請多多支持。

* 我是指真正的weblog,純粹說有關網絡的事。

P.S 有「」包括的字純屬parody,別當真。

台灣網友vgod目擊Darth Vader 兼職McJob*。

令我想boingboing 今天的Darth Tater Puns,當中有幾句語帶相關的對白非常合適置身快餐店的Vader 說:

對顧客推銷炸薯條時說:
If only you knew the power of the deep fried.

不要說Have a nice day,改為:
May the fries be with you.

Widget 查字典,McJob 的由來:
the meaning of McJob

Widget 查Wikipedia,原來好戲在後頭:
McJobs was patented!

P.S 我在笑Vader 的McJob 的同時,自己其實也是打一份McJob,所以本文的副標是私の悲劇。

我知道,小白沒十年八年資歷也沒資格稱為老兵,不過人家想不到用甚麼標題嘛。

之前曾想過連小白也跑Tiger,可是考慮過後,還是決定不升級了。因為小白現在跑Panther 也顯得有點吃力,更何況是Tiger?且看我的小白是內裡有甚麼:

2001 年生產
CPU 是500 MHz PowerPC G3
Ram 有320 MB
HD 是10 GB
CD-ROM

幾年前這樣的spec 是很吸引的,現在當然是乏力,其實我甚至有點後悔升級至Panther,去年「響應」蘋果免費換logic board 計劃(貪有新鮮Panther 贈送),送小白入廠換零件,取機後看看,一個fresh install 的Panther 吃掉足足5 GB 容量,雖然我沒有甚麼大軟件要用,也沒有幾GB 文件,不過一個作業系統霸佔了HD 的一半,真有點不甘心。

上星期在eMac 用Erase and Install 的方法裝Tiger,裝好後看看,(印像中)Tiger 足足是10 GB!!我的小白確是與Tiger 無緣了。

記得哎啤曾說過,大意是我們的電腦雖然不是新貨,不過還是好好的,卻沒法「與時並進」,感覺像是被人遺棄了,唉,真無癮!

Enjoy my podcast, everyone.

Vocal Eel Vol.2

Derek and I saw Alexandra the other day, I can’t remember the last time I got such a perfect ratio of bad movie-to-movie length. This movie was three freaking hours of total crap. The actors? I was embarrassed for them.

Here’s where I should warn you of spoilers to come, but I can’t imagine anything I could possibly say about this movie that would spoil it anymore than Oliver Stone did.

First of all, this is the story of Alexander the Great, a dude who conquered the known world!!! How’d he do it? What was his war strategy? What drove him? Oliver Stone doesn’t think that’s important enough stuff to explore in this movie. No, instead, Stone’s going to fill up his movie with all that love-between-men stuff that was left out of Troy.

Men, I have a question for you: When you’re having a conversation about world domination with your best pal, do you often do it with your quivering lips nearly touching his? Not so much? Didn’t think so. But, apparently, it was what Alexander did with most of his time.

Also, instead of showing us what happened, we get a decrepit-looking Anthony Hopkins as Ptolemy, the first Egyptian pharaoh, telling most of the tale from what looks to me like the prospective of an unrequited gay lover. Silly Ptolemy, he’s so petty.

For instance: Alexander’s father, King Philip of Macedon, played by Val Kilmer (who I thought at any moment was going to start singing some Doors’s tunes), gets all drunk and pissed off, so he disowns and exiles Alexander. Next scene, Anthony Hopkins tells us that Philip is dead and Alexander is King and all this other cool stuff happens. Huh? Five scenes later, for no good reason, we flash back to the day after the disowning and we see that they made up. Huh? Next thing you know, Alexander is fighting some dudes on Elephants and getting his ass kicked.

Besides the major getting-his-ass-kicked scene (where all his boyfriends get their asses kicked as well), we do get to see major battle at Gaugamela, where Alexander has his first big victory. According to this movie, Alexander didn’t have all that much of a strategy. Hell, he didn’t even have anything all that motivational to say to his soldiers beforehand. He was no Braveheart, that’s for sure.

People, consider yourself warned. Don’t rent it.

P.S All right, sorry for being rude, I actually liked Angelina Jolie’s accent.
