Things You Didn't Know About ...


Quoting Forrest Gump: life is a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get.

Same here with a movie fan, I have to admit this is a fairly fun yet risky role, because you never know what you are going to watch next. A good one, then lucky for you, and ummm inspirational yummy! But what if you have unfortunately encountered a cheesy lame one? Then go and enjoy wasting your time, suffering before the screen with no clue how duller the movie can be, and waiting to be disappointed like a dumped puppy and have to reach out for some other ways to make up for you little hurting heart.
My way of punishing myself for wasting almost a whole evening on a mistakenly chosen movie, My So Called Love (Taiwan, 2008), is wasting another 15 mins on my Chinese social network Renren.com, and found an amazingly fabulous clip from TED, about orgasm, the title is Ten Things You Didn't Know About Orgasm. The speaker is Mary Roach, here is the link of her, feel free to click it if you think you know her or want to know more about here http://www.maryroach.net/
See, because I like her from her 16 min speech on TED, and I want to share it, that's why I am posting the link. And for the movie I feel regret to spend my time on, I am not posting anything for it, and please be cautious for any movie with this English title.
I watched another Taiwanese movie last Tuesday, Blue Gate Crossing, which is very in my tune, and I felt like so going back to my high school and hanging out with my class pals again. That is what a good film does: it helps you sit back and relax, brings you to the certain story that it means for, lets you experience together with character (or fancy yourself as the one) within it, and makes you THINK! for whether memories that you almost forget, or dreams you always desire for, or status you should retrospect on, or at least some feelings you can never tell exactly but you just know they are good.
Tan's been calling for over an hour, sleepy now, haven't finished yet, to be continued ......
