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...Read more

so here below are the footage taken by witness. several point of interest to consider:
is it possible for the officer to pick up the wrong gun? he is supposed to be equipped with a taser on one side and a real gun on the other.
if you use a taser gun to shock people, you have to be actually touch the person, but from the footage, u can see clearly that after he pulled the gun out, he moved up a bit and fired the shot from a short distance... what does it mean?
People from the bay area have probably heard about the new year bart incident, in which a white bart cop shot an unarmed black man during a confrontation. at first, the bart police suggested that the man resisted arrest and was shot by accident, but then videotaped footage by passer-by witness showed that the unarmed man was lying on his stomach with no sign of resistence at all, an...Read more
How many christmas cards did you get this year?

Yeah, I know what you thought, but no, it is not what you wanna see.
The subject refers to Andy Warhol's short film "Blow Job" (aka Andy Warhol's Blowjob), basically it is a 35mins film of one single take showing the closeup of a man's face when he is supposed to be having the aforementioned service by a man...
