飛機上看書

現在還真的主要是出門時候才有機會看多點書.

這次香港->美國途中就看了2書+數雜志.

弱水三千,梁文道書話:
- 比想象中有趣. 雖然我對那些英文翻譯書沒什么興趣.
現在最想買來看看的是 趙廣超 的 <大紫禁城: 王者的軸線>, 反正我是會再去故宮的.

小狗懶擦鞋 - 香港粗口文化研究:
近年有點興趣看一些講文字研究的書.
以前也看過一本談英文粗口,比粵語粗口簡單多了.

字花:
以前真的不知道這本新的"文學"雜志 (太少回香港了)。
沒想到還很容易看, 算是走‘大眾化’路線吧 (有智海的漫畫!).
不過這么大眾化,也只‘加印’ 到每期2500冊,而且雙月刊。。。
不知道我曾經最喜歡的明報月刊可以賣多少本.

See the world

R's status message: "I want to see the world"
J and R are two of my 'travel maniac' friends.

During some dinner:
me: I think touring around the world is an online problem. We should also consider that we might die in any year.
So we shouldn't postpone many of those must-sees to later years. Moreover, we should consider the safety of the
destination. If we visit a risky country this year, our probability of being able to visit a safe country next year will be reduced.
J: He already suggested that. I already take this into account.

But anyway, what I want to say here is that .... by now we know that the Earth is not the World. The World is (at least) the universe that we're living in. Even if we visit every inch of this planet, it's still insignificant. The fraction of the world 2^{-k}, where is k is some astronomical number.

So we actually 'see' more of the world by studying astronomy. If we don't care about actually 'seeing', but satisfied with appreciation of the 'world', then we should study cosmology.

明明

又要不现实的动作,又太多浪漫,又再来一些温情些

導演說是pop film. 不如功夫,當然也不如老外的kill bill。
動作不夠好,不夠暴力,情節不夠誇張。要浪漫又不夠盡,而且竟然還來些溫情。。
沒有斷手斷腳,沒有粗口,沒有邪惡陰謀 ,所以是‘幼兒版’cult片,適合帶小朋友看。

另外就是我一向不太喜歡一人分飾兩角,除了省片酬,看不到有甚麼好處。

不過,還是值得看一下的。就當看周迅MV(借用d的)好了。
