女神殿

I want a curfew. I want to be grounded for sleeping with a 35-year-old schizophrenic. I want rules and boundaries, because what I've learned is that, without them, all life is, is a series of surprises.
葛妮絲派特蘿為首的雲集眾星共襄盛舉古怪家庭，是否讓你想起某部電影呢？是的，天才一族。影評心有靈犀地指控其東施效顰：... coupled with an irritatingly hackneyed attempt at Wes Anderson-style over-the-top art direction
我原本也這麼想，但電影完全沒有後者以糖衣包覆苦澀的輕鬆詼諧，而葛妮絲出場設定在家庭心理醫生進行治療時，坦然向主角介紹門後通往的自慰室 (masturbatoriun)，發現女兒正躺在裡頭睡午覺，可能是唯一笑點。
市面上功能家庭失調電影所以共鳴，也許因為你早在家裡就見識過劇中人物行徑，他們大部分時間都很正常，只是日積月累偶爾紓發壓力。但如果劇中人物各各怪得像參加鬧劇比賽般，不論有害無害，而且改編自原著真實童年經驗，你不禁要佩服主角 (事後) 處之泰然的求生意志。
這古怪家庭其實是兩個家庭組成，因為主角媽媽為發展 (未知) 創作生涯，離婚後把獨生子丟到心理醫生住所，才認識兩位姊姊 Gwyneth Paltrow & Evan Rachel Wood。媽媽贊成心理醫生擔任監護人，那位坦然向主角介紹門後通往的自慰室的心理醫生。最後容我引述飾演心理醫生的 Brian Cox 於幕後花絮發表之觀點：
Looking at the story, and we go "Oh! theses horrible people, what are they doing?" but then we realize, at that time, people who are, they were given a kind of freedom, they didn't know what to do with. 
It's like anybody who is oppressed, when they suddenly say "Let all hang out" then go "what do I let hang out?" People don't know what to do, because the structures fall apart, and... that's the tension of the film really.

  

You're my best friend,
and I love you
... in a totally heterosexual way.
我很高興當初堅持先看 瘋狂店員一 再馬上看二，就像當初堅持先看 Before Sunrise 再馬上看 Sunset 是一樣的。沒見過日昇前的見好就收，怎麼能體會日落前的口是心非？
當你創造了一個完美的東西，姑且稱之為經典，手癢卻又不想狗尾續雕，該怎麼辦？
同樣是緬懷過去，席琳與婕兮 選擇一笑置之；我們的好朋友，但丁與藍道，甚至 Jay & Silent Bob，決定創造未來，全紐澤西最廢的四個垃圾也可以擁抱彩色人生。
Quick Stop 翻 "小歇" 翻得真好。終於找到比蜘蛛人二用 虎豹小雨滴 用得更巧妙的電影了，當然也要是要騎乘小朋友交通工具才夠味呀！ABC 狗咬豬~
