趁着忙碌中的一点空闲,闷闷的我又一个人出去看电影了。这次看的是好像不太热门的动画片-Corpse Bride(可能是我迟看吧)。本来影评写这部片子是部黑色喜剧,但是我从戏院出来的当儿的感觉却只有一丝淡淡的遗憾,所以有一点受骗的感觉。不知道看过的人怎么想?
故事很短,也可以说很丰富,故事是集中在主角Victor的离奇历险。面对暴发户父母的“逼婚”,Victor很匆忙地向濒临破产的贵族家庭千金Victoria要进行婚礼了。幸运的是,两位第一次见面就来电了,所以情节到此开始浪漫了起来(原来西方国家也兴盲婚哑嫁的……)。可是,浪漫的感觉并不延续多久,因为男主角的紧张,所以连简单的誓言虽然经过几个小时的排练却还是练不熟。间中也闯出一些祸端,导致双方家长关系更加紧绷。
失望的准新郎于是一步步走向森林,走着走着,压力也开始舒缓了。当他渐渐能够把誓言拼凑出来,并且很流利地排练一次动作后,离异的历险开始了。当他把把誓言一口气背出来,然后把戒指套进一根树枝上后,树枝在他不知不觉中变成一具美女尸体的手骨。接着这串手骨抓着男主角想把他拉到地底去。吓破胆的新郎(婚礼仪式已经完成,只是新娘不是Victoria)于是挣脱那串手骨,向前飞奔。但是人算不如尸算,美女尸体(或者说是他的老婆了)他还是被带到“鬼”新娘(Emily)的世界去。
当然接下来发生了一点事,当多情的男主角终于肯正式迎娶Emily的时候,在他喝下毒药(鬼要配鬼)之际却被“鬼”新娘制止。已经觉悟的新娘终于想通了决定放弃这份缘分并且把这个姻缘许给Victoria。此时此刻,刚好一直冤着Emily的人终于出现,而且得到了应有的制裁。在了了心事后,她“羽化登仙”了(这个画面超赞)。而有情人也终成眷属了……
当然,我说了那么多你可能不见得有任何遗憾,这种感觉唯有你在看完整部电影后才能细细回味。虽然是不同的类型,可是我觉得这部动画比Chicken Little的质感更胜一筹,更细腻。如果不是经过大力宣传,我实在看不出是一步Stop-Motion的电影,因为这部动画比我之前看过的Stop-Motion更加顺畅而且细腻,简直到了所谓电脑三维动画的水准,虽然和Shrek相比仍嫌幼稚,但是在同类的动画来说,这部动画可说是上上之选了。
注意:此乃无病呻吟之文章,不喜勿入。
生活,就像是个小孩,拿着一手满满的糖果,无时无刻,都在面对着一大堆更好吃的糖果。面对着一大堆更好吃的糖果,想要,手中却再也没有空间可以容纳。当篮子不是一个选项的时候,小孩无论如何都要首先把双手空掉,才能够再捧更多的糖果在手上。当然,小孩可以选择看不见,可以选择忽略,但是不要忘记,新口味的糖果天天都会出现,而手中的糖果也会有吃完的一天。总有一天,小孩还是得再次面对这种奇怪的状况。
说是童言无忌,想必也应该没有人会否认这句话有多真实吧。童言童语,往往是最没有心机,最纯真的话语,也因此多出自于孩童的口中。如果童言童语是从成人口中说出,那么就不叫做童言童语了,而是所谓的撅词了,或者听者会为言者感到可怜,因为这么大了思想还没成熟。要证实别人对一个成人口出童言的看法,不必舍近求远,问我的朋友应该有个大概的答案。是好是坏我也管不得那么多了,而且最重要的是,我今天难得有心情,有故事,要blog的并不是一篇探讨成人大放撅词童言的文章。
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
这次跟比较多人谈了一点,也认识了多一些blogger和blogs,看来我之前的处理subscriptions要从半小时增加到不知多久了。这次很遗憾没有看到白雪和双喜妈妈(宁宵姐)出席,跟胡狼并没有什么聊到,因为他忙着算tarot,嘿嘿。三个月没见,大家都还是那副模样,算是万幸。不过很快就会很多人离开了,据说Sam和Jerry要到香港了,然后鈧凯要回槟城,还有一些人也要离开去那里那里。结果聚会差不多到尾声的时候幽子有点郁郁寡欢。不要酱嘛,人生离合常常都会发生,旧的不去新的就不来了对不对?况且这次聚会你也应该认识多了不少blogger吧?事业上的不顺遂也即将告一个段落了,就不要再那么忧郁了吧!只是……下次可不可以真的不要来个老歌之夜,我会怕。
這陣子終於狠下心封鎖了前度的糾纏,本來是想説退追蹤退好友就好,結果一被説絕情讓我整個惱羞,加上朋友的慫恿下就直接封鎖。幹羚羊,是要對你多寬容,我被甩我還想説大家好聚好散我惡言都沒説過,糾纏不清的又不是我。不過封鎖至今總算耳根清净,至於他會不會騷擾我朋友,我也約略在交友網站説過,至於演算法打算讓多少個人看那就不是我的事了。
