• Love is...

  Saturday, Feb 14, 2009 4:34AM / Standard Entry

  What are you guys going to do on Valentine's day? I hate it, for the obvious reason...
  
  What is love? It is such a difficult question. Let's play a game and ask yourself this question and see how much you can answer.
  
  Let me try first. Perhaps, love is...
  
  placing someone on top of everything;
  having someone on your mind every single moment of your life;
  unfathomable;
  going to movies and dinners;
  when you try very hard to get it, you fail, and for some people, they get it for reasons you don't understand;
  a waste of time (and money for some cases);
  sweet or bittersweet;
  a game;
  a catalyst of your boring life;
  a war;

  what else? show me your list too...
  
  ok more later.. oh btw forgot to say, i'll be spending my time working on v.day, which is good for me i guess.

• 農曆新年快樂 Happy Chinese New Year!

  Monday, Jan 26, 2009 5:51PM / Standard Entry

  祝大家農曆新年快樂﹐事事順利!
  
  很久沒打中文的網誌﹐沒辦法﹐人比較懶﹐也有點忙。
  
  回顧去年的工作﹐都是不過不失﹐不論是電影創作﹑寫作和網站方面﹐都是平穩而欠突破。
  
  先談Cinespot電影網站﹐近年發展是比較緩慢﹐舊一代的影評作者﹐很多都淡出了﹐可幸有一批新力軍加盟﹐都是對電影文字很有熱誠的朋友﹐而且對電影有獨特的看法﹐非常感謝這些朋友的支持。
  
  其實一直都有很多發展網站的想法﹐不過礙於人手和資源種種原因﹐都是空中樓閣﹐沒能進一步構思執行。經營網站需要很大的熱誠﹐尤其是商業性不強的電影網站。像Cinespot這樣的小站﹐能夠得到很多人的支持﹐是很榮幸。不知不覺﹐倦倦不斷地寫﹐已超過10年光景﹐想來不是網站需要我﹐而是我有這個衝動﹐繼續寫下去。
  
  去年在電影創作上的進展也很緩慢﹐年中完成之前的短片﹐本來打算專注於長片劇本﹐但突然想到一個短片想拍﹐又暫時丟下了。可是這個新的短片﹐籌備工作比預期複雜﹐加上種種人為和非人為的障礙﹐一拖再拖﹐到了現在還停留在前期製作中﹐感覺是有點遲緩。
  
  寫作方面﹐有打算把以往撰寫的電影文章結集﹐不過要翻閱﹑篩選和更改舊文﹐以目前的可用時間來說﹐是談何容易﹐況且早前打聽消息也不是很順利﹐看來還要花點時間做研究。
  
  個人來看﹐也是有一些仍然沒能解決的問題。有一些決定﹐是很難取捨﹐惟有暫時逃避...
  
  新一年的來臨﹐希望送舊迎新﹐所有事情都能有新的進展。在此也再一次祝大家新年進步﹐心想事成。

• another excellent selection of cc

  Monday, Jan 19, 2009 5:20PM / Standard Entry

  cc did the right thing again, the long awaited (yes i have been waiting for this one for a long time) hiroshi shimizu's dvd boxset with english subs will finally come out in march, now we can forget the crazily priced japanese versions...  the only bad thing is that it looks like all 4 films in the set are barebone disc with no extra... oh well...

  another one that everyone should take a look is oshima nagisa's controversial classic "in the realm of the senses"... i wouldn't say i enjoy this film (especially the ending...) but there is always a reason for a film to be considered controversial...
  according to the disc spec, it will come with loads of extra materials like interviews and deleted footage...
