What else should I do?

I really don't understand, though I know it can't be understood.

I don't understand what else effort I should put in.

Trust me, all my efforts if made known, I'll be categorized as crazy people. One fine day I shall test my theory by disclosing some of my efforts.

Love

Don't get me even started on the stupid topic of love.

I can transform and explode. I've got plenty to blast.

I think the amount of effort of love I put in, can feed an entire small village.

No Big Deal (the story)

When you've tasted the better or worse of something, you'll feel 'experienced', nothing big to shout for.

Nevertheless I appreciate the effort, but I'm not particularly impressed or moved, by the story itself.

My Family < G. Clooney's Family

My family is almost no different to G. Clooney's family.

Just that mine is not as good looking and not as rich.

I think I can develop my own screenplay.

Man with Elephant's Di*k

Oh election year. It's time to blast my beloved government.

Don't ever ask me to visit government departments again. Forever not enough queue numbers, the building's like a man with elephant's di*k - so majestic but what's the fu*king point / point fu*king?

初恋红豆冰 (2010)

多有氛围个国货啊。

若能斗胆挑,可惜就稍稍文艺,啰嗦了些,花时间刻画却无法实际点睛,难以谅解的付出啊。

不然票房,口碑定能更大众化,九把刀也得为牛弹琴。如今牛也只得被斩成九片牛扒了。

东邪西毒:终极版(2008)

对不住王家卫了,看了好几次也只略懂您五成的心思。

认命吧,可惜我今生也终究无缘领略红楼梦和王家卫了。 

The Descendants (2011)

Bonding both free-flower Alexander Payne and George Clooney together, behold a typical nice yet natural flow of life, of how to deal with descendants.

As much as they wanna free-flow, they still somehow automatically guide my emotion through effortlessly. Must be through the acting, the honest what-to-do attitude, the relaxing soundtracks and the picturesque Hawaii scenes.

Forever Sleepless?

Something wrong with my biology clock.

Can't go on forever.

Rare Ethics in Money Driven World

Sir Alex Ferguson :
"When you go home to your mother, make sure she is seeing the same person she sent to me, because if you take all this fame and money the wrong way, your mother'll be disappointed with you."

Some intrinsic work ethics that must be instilled in today's young punks' money driven perspectives.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

Tag-line 1: Life can only be understood backward. It must be lived forward.

Tag-line 2: Life isn't measured in minutes, but in moments.

Tag-lines are meant to be understood after the movie is intentionally digested.

But those great tag-lines above are still not good enough for depicting this divine intervention. A majestic representative in my top 100.

As Serious as Rooney Mara

Just how serious are you about life/career/dreams/hitting your goals?

Obviously Rooney Mara's gonna make it big time. She's just 27 of age, but by baring her piercings even on official posters, she means serious business.

How to Simply Gauge if it's a Good Movie?

There'll always be people asking me whether if the coming movie would be good, or worthwhile for cinema viewing.

I don't know if I haven't watched, but I've a simple gauge for standard answer- depends on your preference, the movie's director and the movie's genre.

Munich (2005)

A fictional tale about Palestinians wanting a homeland, while Israelis having to protect theirs.

An eye opener and a history lesson for me.

If I were an Israeli, the world must be pretty different for me then.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)

This 2009 version is a competent depiction of what was in my mind of the novel.

All in all I agree that readings can definitely stretch one's boundless imagination. But I'm somewhat a rather 'visual' person. I prefer less reading effort.

Hence I appreciate movie more.

The Constant Gardener (2005)

The unveiling of a tragic love story resulting of a classic pharmaceutical capitalism's scam.

I always have a thing for African's hardship. Hence explains my favoritism towards this movie.

But all in all a somehow low-profile yet intrinsically saddening thriller, with top notch actings of course.

静思默哀●清境农场

雾社事件中为了避免消耗粮食,并且让勇士无后顾之忧和日人对抗,妇女们带着幼童一齐于林中上吊自杀。

曾经疡血之清境農場

跋山来访《赛德克·巴莱》中的男女老少残魂, 其中感慨何其磅礴。

佛光山之逍遥法外

边吃荤边捞屎, 太岁头上动土

佛光山之回头是岸

问一声汝今哪里去,望三思何日君再来

文武廟之骄兵必败

神武如关圣爷也甭想避劫.

Choose Wisely

Success is a matter of choice, not chance.

Best Invention of the 20th century

I bumped into some real tasty meat while writing in dark coldness.

Should've packed a box back here. Appreciate the hot companion.

How to Connect to the Ideal World?

Special mail box.

Heineken: One Brew, Many Countries

How did you celebrate new year?

台湾政治

人民的权益寄托变质成相互抹黑, 争权夺利的武台.

真情用力的喊票背后, 到底有多少假惺惺的承诺.

Investor vs. Gambler

Luck = Opportunity + Preparedness.

Gotta be prepared.

The Help (2011)

Surprisingly a hugely successful commercial gem cum Oscar contender.

African-American maids' hardships are melted and concentrated into 2 hours of tearful laughter and gloomy reflection.

Life Planning

So what's your road map for the next three years?

I lose sleep to plan.

杀人回忆 Memories of Murder (2003)

Again if there were any national movie competitions, who should represent Korea?

Tough pick I know. Only rare few can stir as much everlasting goosebumps and wild imagination as 杀人回忆.

Seriously don't mess around with Korean movies. 杀人回忆 can take on any Hollywood classic, head on.

Unless he has $$$$$$$$$$

(新加坡9日訊)即將結婚,高級技術工程師竟嫖雛妓,結果準新郎被判監4個月。

blah blah blah...

他表示,需要照顧年老父母,對自己的行為後悔莫及。

被告即將結婚,未婚妻今早也出庭聽判

Anwar: Dey, what's the big deal huh?

Even if he were to like to fu*k from behind, then so what?

People's business what. So busy-body. Tsk tsk tsk.

Fu*k from behind has got no relation with people's ambition/ability to improve the country right?

Results are key

Results are key.

Cruel fact. How straightforward. Apply to almost all.

John Sculley

Steve Jobs to John Sculley :
"Do you want to sell sugared water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with me and change the world?"

将之器, 其用大小不同.

Hire top talent with top dollars in exchange for the change of world.

记得我们爱过 (2010)

There's actually a simple algorithm to do a safe and not bad movie.

Have to quote Jim Valvano again -
"If you laugh, think and cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day."

翻滾吧!阿信 (2011)

Please allow me to confess that 彭于晏 is too good-looking to be true.

I applaud their hard work and gritty performance. I'll reflect on my part.

Thanks for your recommendation.

賽德克·巴萊 (2011)

If there were any national movie competition, behold Taiwan's proud representative. Finally, after all these years.

Before this my pick would be 悲情城市 or 臥虎藏龍, the rest like 海角七號, 艋舺, 那些年, 我們一起追的女孩... still have plenty to do for world class.
