《反逆之魯魯修》絕對是一部話題之作﹐從零七年的第一季開始﹐己經吸引我每個星期忠實地追看。每星期急不及侍下載最新一話﹐看完後馬登入網上討論劇情﹐追看官方公告或路邊小道消息。這部動畫的成功完全出乎意料之外﹐第一季原本在深夜播送。儘管這部是可以賣玩具的機械人動畫﹐但連把動畫當玩具廣告的笨大也懶得推出週邊產品。也許很多觀眾和我一樣﹐對第二季後段劇情嚴重跳線感到失望﹐但無可否認這部動畫打破日本動畫界過分依懶賣座公式的悶局﹐開創一個新鮮少見動畫的類別。… [...]

有些動畫是不可以一口氣看完全套﹐每個星期看一集還可以﹐但連續看的話可會感到煩厭。《狂亂家族日記》給觀眾留下的最大印象﹐是女主角凶華大人機關槍式的急口令對白﹐不知道日本人聽到了多少﹐不過我連看字幕的時間也不夠。第二個印象應該是畫工的質素﹐劇中人物的面相常常走樣﹐但每次走樣也有固定模式﹐不知道真的是作畫爛還是算有風格。這套動畫是處境喜劇式的動畫﹐內容全都是環繞著那一群主要角色﹐沒有明確的故事主線﹐每集或每幾集成為一個獨立故事。第一季二十六集動畫﹐除了頭幾集介紹人物出場外﹐其餘的集數打亂來看﹐甚至跳過不看也沒有關係。最後甚至連沒有結局﹐不過是以一個篇幅長點的單元作總結。… [...] I rented a BMW convertible at Mr. Rent A Car for my wedding.

河童是日本傳說中的妖怪﹐有點像中國的水鬼﹐躲在河中等時運低的人經過﹐然後吃掉他的靈魂﹐相傳被吃掉靈魂會浸死。《河童飼養手冊》是一齣很另類的小品動畫﹐動畫中假設河童成為給人飼養的寵物﹐就像我們從寵物店買貓狗一樣。原作改篇自石川優吾的短篇漫畫﹐每集只有短短的三數分鐘﹐總共有二十六集﹐後來更推出同名的遊戲。… [...] 
日本的機械人動畫有兩大長青系列﹐帶頭的是替笨大生金蛋的《高達》。已經有前後十多部作品﹐不過十分質素參差﹐更有些被貶為玩具廣告。雖然每套新作也是冠名《高達》﹐內容卻是全新故事﹐系列間沒有連貫性﹐唯一的共同點不過是主角機械人紅白藍的顏色和頭上的兩支天線﹐以及不斷推出的模型玩具週邊產品。另一套動畫《超時空要塞》也是差不多長壽﹐不過卻貴精不貴多﹐每隔五年才有一部新作品推出。雖然故事的主角和發生的時間不同﹐但所有作品源用同一個世界觀和中心思想﹐每部作品也有著承先啟後的任務﹐一環緊扣一環地開拓擴展《超時空要塞》的世界。… [...]

動畫大師大友克洋不是一個多產的導演﹐差不多每隔兩三年才有新作品。他最新的動畫《自由》﹐七集OVA前後差不多用了兩年時間才完成。這套動畫最特別的地方﹐其實是日清杯麵三十五週年的廣告企劃。在每集動畫中必定有主角們食杯麵的鏡頭﹐不論是在月球基地還是地球的癈墟﹐他們總可以找到合味道杯麵開餐。撇除吃杯麵的明目張膽廣告外﹐《自由》走硬派科幻動畫路線﹐承接大友克洋成名作《阿基拉》的風格。不論是主角的造型設計﹐還是第一集的電單車比賽﹐都充滿《阿基拉》的影子。… [...] In the current worldwide financial meltdown, almost every stock market is crashing.

近幾年荷里活興炒冷飯﹐重拍以往經典電視片集的電影版﹐《特務S嘜》就是翻炒六十年代的經典特務喜劇。印象中我也看過原裝的電視片集﹐詳細的內容已經沒有印象﹐依希記得開場時要跟紅線行﹐通過很多重門才到總部﹐能低法寶電話鞋和扮樹的無聊特務﹐新電影版當然也一一重視這些經典場面。這類的特務喜劇﹐大慨不乏惡搞《占士邦》來開玩笑。相對Austin… [...] After a full day of bombardment of the election news, the US finally got a new president.

一連兩天都寫福伯夏理遜福的電影﹐昨天評論過他二十多年前的舊作Blade Runner﹐今天評論他最新的作品《奪寶奇兵之水晶骷髏國》。《奪寶奇兵》三部曲可以說得上是冒險電影的經典﹐今次佐治魯卡斯與史提分史匹堡再度攜手合作﹐讓我對《奪寶奇兵》第四集有很大期望。沒錯這套電影依然是《奪寶奇兵》﹐有鐘博士的招牌動作﹐… [...] 
在百大經典電影的排行榜上﹐總有些我一直想看的舊電影﹐可是看完後卻會質疑它是否譽過其實。《銀翼殺手》被譽為一代經典科幻電影﹐可是在差不多四分一個世紀後才初看﹐卻覺得這套電影不外如是﹐不明白為什麼可以在電影經典名冊上佔一席位。這套電影由夏理遜福當主角﹐與近期的《奪寶奇兵》第四集比較﹐當年後生的他可比現在瀟洒有型多了。我想《銀翼殺手》所以成為經典電影﹐大慨大半是歸功於其佈景設計﹐朔造出一個十分陰暗無助的未來世界﹐有別以往科幻電影那種光明的未來世界。滿街穿梭往來的飛天車﹐繁華大廈外牆佈滿電視廣告﹐對比地面街道的烏煙瘴氣﹐成為一代黑暗系未來科幻電影的先驅。… [...] I haven’t write a single blog entry for the past week. It is not that I am getting lazy or getting tried of blogging. It is that I just move in with Pat and I am so busy trying to make myself home in the new place. Packing everything into boxes… [...] |
