I am Your Sunshine

很驚訝…

R.I.P.

我以前覺得叫名字的第二個字是件很奇怪的事.
也許是因為甯甯叫詠甯 (另外還有沒怎麼來往的堂妹詠璇詠婷), 我在詠字找不到 identity,
總覺得它只是承接我的名字 (晴) 的一個字.

第一次聽到名字的第二個字拿來當稱呼是 SS 提到他的高中好朋友小詠,
感覺很驚奇, 原來可以這樣用.
其實有點羨慕, 但是”小詠”已經是小詠的了, 雖然我不認識她, 拿來用還是很像披上別人的皮一般怪.
而且我總覺得, 小什麼小什麼的, 那麼可愛, 跟我的樣子一點也不搭, 用起來會覺得自己寡廉鮮恥.
於是安份守己地繼續當, Ashley, 你的陽光.
但心裡某一個地方, 還是偷偷希望有一個好叫的, 很有我的感覺的稱呼~

是一部我不知道該說什麼的電影.

配樂很恐怖. (不是難聽的恐怖啦.)

I wore my first dress yesterday. (Grace’s doesn’t really count. =p)

而看完這部片我的心得是, 每一個人都要有個 Kevin 啊~~~~~

(三八.)

從 Raura 那看來的.

2007 看了 99 部電影. 十二月初發現我已經看了 84 部時, 就想要拼一百部, 然而最後還是決定不要為了”看”電影而”看電影. 何況, 99 部也算是個蠻有趣的數字.

不是很喜歡這部的拍攝手法, 尤其是人物特寫的部份, 大多都很突兀, 沒有表達出他試圖表達的感情.
除此之外, 我喜歡這個版本勝於 1995 BBC 的版本.
其實你是不喜歡 Ciarán Hinds 吧!! XDDDD (開玩笑, 他是超討厭的 Brian de Bois-Guilbert 耶!)

自 Anne 再度聽到 Captain Wentworth 的名字, 怨懟卻又無可奈何的悲傷縈迴著整部電影. Anne 與 Lady Russell 的那段對話, “我不怪你, 我不怪當時被你說服的自己. 但我真的真的很後悔.” 以及 Lady Russell 試圖安慰她, “You’ll find someone who loves and deserves you.” Anne 簡簡單單卻包含了深深絕望的一句話, “I’m 27.”

另外一方面, 這個版本的 Captain Wentworth 看起來溫柔多了. 即使仍然非常怨恨 Anne 當初的決定, 言行與眼神間仍是非常深情. 這樣的男人怎能叫人不為他心動呢…

一個半小時下來都一直很催淚, 但最後 Anne 滿城狂奔把我逗笑了… orz
還有最後 Anne 告白完要吻上去, Frederick 還拿喬似的要吻不吻是怎樣啦! 看得好難過. (話說, 那年代的人會在大街上接吻嗎?)

附上 Wentworth 寫給 Anne 的信的原文, 好感人.

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.

I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening or never.

1995 BBC 版本心得

昨天在設定 TiVo, 逛到了 KQED(PBS, 就是美國的公視), 發現當晚首播 Persuasion! 正是前陣子在台灣公視播的 2007 年 ITV 拍的新版 Persuasion 耶. 今晚來看~

接下來要播 Northanger Abbey, 還有我一點也不想看的 Billie Piper 版 Mansfield Park. (很痛苦耶, Mansfield Park 是我次愛的 Jane Austen 小說, 至今卻沒有一個讓我滿意的電影版本.)

目前沒看到他要播 Wide Sargasso Sea 跟 A Room with A View. 真討厭. 我想看 Wide Sargasso Sea 啊…

除了 Masterpiece 系列外, PBS 的 Imagemaker 也常常有好看的短片. 正好在 WGA 罷工影集荒的時候來止止飢.

* JT 仍在努力養傷, 可能趕不上二月初英格蘭換帥後第一場友誼賽. JT 說, 若包心菜人決定將隊長袖標交給別人, 他仍會百分之百的支持包心菜人, 畢竟, 讓英格蘭重返贏球之路才是最重要的.

(JT 幹得好! 先放話才不會到時候忽然被拉下然後很尷尬.)

* MLS 球季結束 (完全沒注意), Becks 回到英國. 由於包心菜人會待在倫敦, 小貝決定跟某廠一起訓練, 而不是回到曼聯 (聽說他跟弗老有心結?) 因為曝光度高一點, 被重新選上國家隊的機會也大一點? 看到 Becks 穿某廠訓練衣還蠻詭異的.

Beck’s 很好喝, 有蜂蜜味.

最近我的msn上有個人把暱稱改成 Beckham, 但我完全不記得他是誰.
(The name Beckham didn’t help.)

(Watch out, TV. I’m so back.)

貫穿整集的主線是被車子來回碾過好幾遍的兇殺案, 支線是連環殺手 Kiss Me Not, 有個好像有點煩人的 FBI profiler 黏在 Lindsay 身邊, 以及 Tom 的新婚妻子 Heather 的小插曲.

Lindsay 與 Heather 的互動實在有點無奈的矛盾, 但又很切實際. 人的喜惡並不是時刻分明, 即使 Linds 仍心繫 Tom, 即使婚禮當天 Heather 發的飆實在是太自以為世界繞著她轉, 在脆弱需要人一把的時候, Lindsay 也自然順手地開導了她. (這種情況下, 也只有曾處在過同樣局面的 Linds 能夠開導.) 看起來一點也不會偽善, 因為人往往就是這樣的啊.

Kiss Me Not killer 似乎有些許新進展, 但本集主要還是著墨於 Lindsay 身邊眾人的態度. Tom, Jocabi, club members 得知時的反應不盡相同, 我最喜歡 Jacobi 那段, 深情真切, 我都可以感受到他因 Lindsay 對自身安全漠不關心而感到的痛. 我喜歡看人與人之間的關心與互動.

兇殺案中被害人的妻子原來過著兩個身份的生活, 最終看來那目的似乎只是成為 Linsday 開導 Heather 時的一個小笑話, 有點虛掉.

另外, 本集最好笑:

Jill: I’ll clear it with Denise.
Lindsay: Wait. Your voice didn’t do that thing when you said Denise’s name.
Jill: What thing?
Lindsay: The rumbly, trembly hate filled thing… which I’m sure nobody but me has ever noticed.
Jill: Denise is no longer a problem. Ever since she got drunk at Tom and Heather’s wedding and announced to Luke that I had sex with Hanson, thereby ending my relationship, she’s been a peach. Turns out, my boss is actually capable of guilt.

會心一笑:

Cindy: Thanks for calling me.
Jill: Well you’re in the club after all.
Ashe: You have a club, huh?
All: No!

XD:

Ashe: You were gonna tell me about Sarah Rice.
Lindsay: Waitress. Grew up in Marin County. Strangled in 2003. She was 26.
Ashe: You sound like you’re reading from a phone book.
Lindsay: You want an interpretive dance?

這集真好看.

咦?

I guess I was too overwhelmed to post. (B: Liar. Truth is, you were busy with something else.)

But still, it’s the most heart breaking transfer (is that what it’s called in pro baseball?) news this year offseason. Trading Haren was sort of a shock but I was never a big fan of Dan so I’m okay. Not that I don’t like him. He’s a good guy (card delivered) and our ace, but it didn’t hurt to see him go. Swisher, on the other hand, was part of the reason why I love the Green and Gold. Beside the special connection I have with him his fielding and ability to hit long balls, Swish can lift up a team’s spirit and bring a lot more than baseball to his team and the fans.

It felt weird. It’s like you can trade anybody but not Swish, cos Swish is the heart and soul, he’s off limits. But in real life, no one is untouchable and pro ball is, after all, entertainment business.

So goodbye, Swish, and best wishes.
(Just… don’t come back and beat us too often.)

Now, who’s next?

有些人在得不到自己想要的東西時會狠狠地說,

you don’t know what you are missing.

就是因為不知道, 才無關緊要啊.

知道的, 嘗過, 擁有後又失去的, 錯過的,
才會了解才會痛心疾首, 才會覺得哎唷怎麼沒了好傷心…
所以, 說那句話除了強烈的自我安慰催眠之外實在很無濟於事.
而且它其實一點也不狠, 完全只是裝兇舔傷口, 明明一臉哀戚.
.

這樣比較好,
You don’t know what you’re missing, 我為你感到慶幸. ^_<

喜歡這首…~ (最近又到了對這種音樂很有感覺的狀態)

it’s impossible to ignore you…

今天早上, 這段旋律不斷在腦中縈繞.

你幹嘛這麼可愛啦!! 根本就無法忽視你.
一定得一直讓我笑不停嗎? 我們相處那麼融洽已經夠糟糕了!!

好甜蜜的抱怨啊. :p

明明手邊有一堆音樂, 至少有 1/3 還很陌生, 但最近聽什麼都覺得好膩, 就是想聽新的東西.
所以我想買, Sia 的 Colour the Small One 跟 Sara Bareilles 的 Little Voice, Jimmy Eat World 的新專輯 Chase This Light 還有 Matt Costa 的 Songs We Sing.

整個走清淡風.

配合無色的冬天吧!
