难为梁家辉和张曼玉了，演80年代疯狂出国的中国人，盲目，悲情。
不仅是这一对couple，而是影片里每一个在美国的中国人，都是那么绝望，无奈。而他们曾经是最有理想最有豪情的一代人。所以当南生和红在郭兰英一条大河的歌声中历尽艰险重逢时，人心就被掏空了。
这个灰暗的纽约是sex and the city的家吗？太残酷了。
还有一点心得：如果你丢失了爱人，就去纽约送外卖吧，你们终究会相逢在纽约的街头的，像甜蜜蜜，像爱在他乡的季节。

lost in translation
这个周末看了，很失望。it's about two americans' strange friendship in a unfamiliar culture.最终只能表现美国人对美国以外文化的惊人无知。其实他们对自己国家不同地区的文化也没有什么包容可言。
yao's new book
这个周末在书店里读姚明的新书,yao,life in two worlds,写得很可爱,有点像给老外的中国文化扫盲读物.他在书里提到,中国现在的变化很大很大,可是他有时不能体会,因为每次回去他总是在找旧时的朋友玩,去旧时的地方玩.可不是嘛,就像我昨天还在跟一个即将回国的朋友说,要他帮我多吃些小吃,凉粉啦,馄饨啦,还一定要是路边的.能报得出的就那么几样,可是国内现在又不知道出了多少好吃好玩的了吧.哎,想死我了!

东邪西毒
一些肝肠寸断的爱情故事,都没啥好结果。不喜欢。不是因为它让人肝肠寸断，而是因为那些爱里的真情啊，执着啊，以及因爱而生的嫉妒啊，自私啊，都是胡扯。如果需要yy，还是yy一些快乐的事吧，生活够麻烦了。

不离日用常行内，直到先天未画前

miranda & steve
miranda & steve is my favorite couple in "sex & the city". for a while, they break up over a suit, and this moment breaks up my heart, for both of them. steve returns the suit that he couldn't afford, convinced that there are things that he could not reach. his reaction is very understandable, as some men still have respectable pride. but meanwhile i feel more sympathy for miranda, as she shouldn't not be punished for her success.
love out of caste is hard, very often out of the question.
love the person as s/he is--this is a myth.
at the end of the whole story, miranda & steve got together. but please do remember that in reality they never see each other again in this life.

souless 张艺谋
北野（哲学家）：张艺谋缺少心灵感受。
罗艺军（老电影艺术家）：张艺谋在把握电影形式上是国际一流的，《英雄》、《十面埋伏》创造的视听奇观，绚丽之极。但这未必是美学中的上品。古人云：‘绚丽之极，归于平淡。’ 张艺谋告别武打片后，是否会归于平淡，向人的心灵进军？
张颐武（北京大学教授）：他任何行动都带有某种见机而动的目的。(--personally i think there is nothing wrong with maintaining a purpose.) 张艺谋不知道艺术上的节省、空白和含蓄，在电影中，他总是把他擅长的漂亮画面反复把弄，弄得人们烦烦的。

here is a cute one
quote from movie board on bbs:
“如果他叫Nameless,那么是哲理片.
如果叫ANONYMOUS,那么是侦探片.
如果叫DON-ASK-MY-NAME-DUDE,那么是搞笑片.
如果叫XXX,那么是三及片.
如果叫N.G.,那么是科幻片. (or UFO, as suggested later)”

gmail eventually
yup, eventually.
more control is given to the user's side, like "name" entry in "contacts". it's no longer the narrow-minded firstname-lastname cliche, which is used in yahoo! and many others, and thus some respect to other cultures.
