昆汀塔倫提諾將自己的第 9 號導演作品《從前,有個好萊塢》改編成書籍,計畫 2021 年夏季發行,秋季推出豪華精裝版。
此計畫正式宣布之後,昆汀塔倫提諾也算是兌現自己的承諾,昆汀曾於四月份在「Pure Cinema Podcast」節目中表示正在考慮對《從前,有個好萊塢》進行書籍改編。到了昨日得到證實,昆汀已經與出版公司「HarperCollins」簽署兩本書的協議,而且除了《從前,有個好萊塢》之外,還有一本名為《Cinema Speculation》的非虛構小說類作品。
原本昆汀就曾表示《從前,有個好萊塢》是以小說的形式構思,只是最終仍舊拍成電影,現在也確定會有虛構的小說出版,算是另類的從電影改編成書籍,所謂的電影小說化(movie-novelization)。《從前,有個好萊塢》在今年奧斯卡獲得 10 項提名,也讓布萊德彼特從影生涯總算抱回一座奧斯卡演技獎項,《從前,有個好萊塢》影評請參考👉https://bit.ly/2KkehbN
而《Cinema Speculation》則是一本關於 1970 年代電影的雜談,將深入研究該年代的電影史,其中包括雜文、評論以及私人寫作。據傳美國知名評論家 Pauline Kael 就對昆汀的文學寫作影響深遠。而其實,昆汀除了是創造性十足的導演、編劇之外,也寫得一手好評論,前陣子昆汀就曾在他的戲院網站「New Beverly Cinema」,寫出他對王羽和香港電影的觀察,令人驚豔👉https://bit.ly/35DTg3S
最後,昆汀塔倫提諾說:「在 70 年代,電影的小說化是我成長後的第一本讀物,到目前為止,我對它產生極大的興趣。因此,作為電影小說化的狂熱者,我很自豪地宣布《從前,有個好萊塢》是對這經常被邊緣化但又廣受歡迎的文學子類型的貢獻。我也很高興能以文學的形式,努力(希望)進一步探索電影中角色們的世界。」

Participating in the upcoming extended term of the legislative council is, I feel, the lesser of two evils. Of course the one-year postponement of the election which should have been held this month was an anti-democratic trick by the government to avoid facing the voters. The extended term surely lacks legitimacy in the public eye.
But with liberal and democratic institutions being constantly undermined by an executive seeking to bring the other arms of government under its control, we must take every opportunity to voice our concerns, use every forum to fight back in the interests of Hong Kong’s governance, and the promises enshrined in the Basic Law.
Of course previously I’ve had my reservations about staying on, as it would mean accepting a quasi Beijing appointment in an un-elected legislature, ie without the people’s mandate. I’ve had my moments of a psychic tug-of-war.
It’s also understood that many of our young view some of the veterans in the democratic camp as washouts, that they belong to an earlier civilisation and should have been “outed” anyway. Some online criticism would go as far as, and I quote, “Can’t let go of the pay and the glory associated with a Legco seat, can you? Like you are being thrown a bone, a bone only but you can’t wait to go get it”, unquote.
Amongst the democrats I’m probably, probably, the one with the least
political baggage: The fact that I do not have a political party background; that I’m not young and as a result I wouldn’t need to worry too much about career development or prospects. And so perhaps I am more able to consider the “stay or quit” question with an even more free mind.
What’s happened is the number of pro-democracy legislators has already been thinned by legal manoeuvres to oust elected members. But we can perhaps muster just enough votes to deny the pro-government camp absolute control over the council.
Unrepresentative though it is, the council often is not just a talking shop and rubber stamp. It does have some ability to query officials, demand information and make constructive criticism of government proposals and policies. Even when the criticism is not particularly constructive, or some would even call it destructive, it could at least help vent public anger and frustration.
We need opposition voice to at least better health policy, labour rights, pollution, education and public transport problems.
Between now and next September we should be able to show Hongkongers that we can be of value in fighting for their interests. Although the system remains heavily weighted against us, the legislature remains a place where we can stand up, on the spot, against the arrogance and incompetence of the administration.
We don’t just make noise, we carry on to serve as the voice of the people. We shouldn’t become outsiders looking in. We need feet on the ground.
Sure we could be running into a storm without even an umbrella. Things could get painful. It’s so much easier to quit. But to quit would just be taking a placebo line. We cannot pretend the pain is not there, we just need to deal with it, fight it.
The lawmaker capacity does carry a degree of power. Once I called the agriculture and fisheries department, demanding to speak to the department head, saying it’s a matter of utter emergency. What was happening that day was a government wild pig hunting team armed with Remington's was scheduled to go to a village, provoking an unnecessary but possible violent standoff between villagers and animal rights campaigners.
My little intervention was successful. The AFCD head heeded and cancelled the hunting mission that day. And thanks to joint efforts on the civil society and Legco fronts such wild boar hunting squads have now been scrapped altogether.
Another episode that has been lodged in my head involved what happened on August 31 last year. Speculation was rife that there were fatalities inside the Prince Edward MTR station that evening, at the peak of our protest movement. I made a number of official enquiries and subsequently managed to have a face-to-face meet-up with the fire services chief.
Although in the end neither the police nor the fire department could satisfactorily explain the discrepancies in the number of injured and the state of injuries, at the time it was the only way to prompt —- if not force —- the civil servants involved to do their explaining in public, to the media.
It’s experiences of the kind that help to solidify my opinion that democrats should remain on the inside. Because of what we do, a lot of incompetence and hypocrisy, sometimes even some crookedness get exposed.
Beijing loyalists and the pro-government type would keep on politely tip-toeing around issues so as not to offend the authorities, they would keep on spinning mistruths, the democrats can counter that performance.
At a time when Hong Kong is politically, financially going down the tubes, with our young in particular feeling helpless, at a time when hope seems to be dismissed and punishment dealt, when discontent could morph into pure hate and antipathy to the government, democrats should help by not abandoning any battleline.
Anyone who wants to query government policies, draw attention to abuses, obtain information now faces increasing difficulties.
Assembly is restricted. People have to guard their words. Much mainstream media simply reflect official policies and journalists now have to be approved by the police to be treated as such. However inadequate it may be, the legislative council remains a forum for questions and comment, and is widely reported.
And popularly elected legislators in particular have standing which cannot be ignored at home, and they are also focus of foreign inquiry about Hong Kong issues. Journalistic institutions magnify the impact of such individuals who would otherwise find themselves crying in the wilderness, lone voices without a platform. Legco is a platform, however shaky.
If results of an opinion poll —-expected by Tuesday —-commissioned by the Democratic Party tell us to go —- easy, we’ll just pack up.
But Im hoping for the opposite. I for one would want to keep staying on the Legco frontline, standing up for what I believe. Nothing egotistical about it. We will simply take what's left and fight it out.
I’m prepared to take the lesser evil.

pure speculation 在 A Happy Mum Facebook 的精選貼文
At Pantai Pasir Hitam, or Black Sand Beach, in Langkawi.
We managed to make a stop here on our last day just before the sun set and were the last ones to leave this peaceful place. While the water isn't safe or clean to swim, we had brought along our fishing net and the big girl caught a huge crab shortly, amazing, she is really getting good at this! The younger ones were just happy to blow some bubbles, play a don't-get-hit-by-the-bubbles game with Papa and enjoy that simple, happy moment.
Oh, why is the sand black? Actually, it is more of black granules within the usual white sand - unlike the Black Sand Beach we went in Iceland which was filled with pure black sand orignated from basalt lava. The thing is, despite much speculation, theories and myths surrounding it, it is still considered a mystery as no one can be entirely sure up till this day.
All we know is this black sand can't be found in anywhere else in Langkawi except here and that makes it tempting for us to set foot on this place and take this family shot. In matchy tees somemore lor. Gotta wear more while they still fit the kids. Haha.
