Anyone out there thinks that Twilight reminds you of My date with a vampire? haha. i have to admit i did not read the books nor did i went to watch the movie. but the plot sounds like a complete déjà vu. i was a super 我和殭屍有個約會 fan when i was still in primary school. season 2 to be exact. some scenes i've watched over like 20 times and i still have the vcd with me now. season three was a flop la, but the first 2 seasons were like miracles of ATV. haha. one of the few ATV dramas that have viewerships that is way higher than tvb's. and apparently the author of twilight got her idea from a dream. so maybe.. she was watching 我和殭屍有個約會 before she fell asleep. right. but i'll go for 況天佑 anytime although he is much fatter, older.. and has more wrinkles. haha.

either my fax machine hates me or the fax machine at the other end of the line hates me. because it just refuses to fax.

i was telling my sister why i never liked will pan or kelvin cheng. because they lack the kyaa factor. u know the 2 of them, they never look ugly. no matter what they do they look completely the same. even if they are standing, sitting, lying, they look the same. there isnt a best looking moment. ch8's showing Under the canopy of love soon, but hai kelvin cheng, maybe i shall root for bosco instead.


on the other hand, i rewatched some parts of Good Luck and i realised what makes kimutaku the king. because his 嘴巴够濺. nice.

and Kou Shibasaki is actually quite pretty. haha. i think both she and homaki are quite pretty, but too bad, they need more sleep to remove those dark rings around their eyes. or more concealer.

SEP results out. damn it. taiwan. taiwan... ahhh.. why did i put taiwan as first choice.. hai. okay. hk summer school la.

and i have a new pair of glasses.

SG last week. the other 3Ys on christmas eve's eve. sportscamp on sunday. basketball people tmr. o comm on sat. yayyyy.

okay. solved my fax problem. someone re-wired the fax machine. and rewired wrongly.

李克勤-自作自受


no, this is not yet another IA post. this is an IA3 post, which i have not blogged about before. haha. i think a lot of people, including myself, does not know that Hacken Lee actually sang the theme song for Infernal Affairs III. part one was so famous so everyone knew it was by the leads themselves, the second by Beyond is not that well known(i mean the song, Beyond is really well known la) but at least i knew. ha. but part three? I knew this very much later.

i've been bathing very late recently (it's holidays!!) and so each night while waiting for my hair to dry i'll just take out a random issue of iweekly to browse through. and yesterday night, i took out the IA3 issue and apparently there were some unhappiness which arose over who to sing the theme song. haha. so andy lau recorded his part (this can be found on youtube) then i dunno what tony leung didnt want to sing with leon lai and then leon lai was only willing to sing if all 3 were okay with singing the theme song. and in the end there were also problems with andy lau's record company and tada, they got hacken lee in the end.

but. this is an IA3 post. haha. so in the last 24hrs i managed to watch 3 films: kurosagi (hai. that was disappointing..), days of being wild (previous post!!) and yay Infernal Affairs III. initially i wanted to go on with Happy Together but that film is really very heavy, so i gave up and started watching IA3 instead.



IA3 is the first film of the trilogy that i watched. yesh. which i did not understand at all (naturally). haha. so after i finished IA3 (which is also the only IA film i watched in cinemas), i went to buy the IA and IA2 VCDs. IA2 is the one which i watched the most number of times, IA ranks second and i think i've only watched IA3 thrice, including today. the first time i didnt understand at all what was happening, the second time on my mandarin dubbed vcd and today, the cantonese dvd version. finally. i think i understood this movie.



from the iweekly interview with andrew lau and alan mak, they answered this question on what's the motive of IA3. so they said IA2 they were playing with time and IA3 with character development. but i dont really see it that way la. IA1 is very obvious, its focus is on the plot. but on the other hand, i think IA2 plays with character development, while IA3 the focus is on the stars, 明星魅力. seriously, part3 other than andy lau, dont u think the other characters are quite underdeveloped. the story dont attempt to tell u something, but base it on that u have watched the first 2 films, and at the same time understands the actors themselves well; and then see how they try and outshine each other.



like how i dislike charmaine sheh, i dont really like leon lai too. but i like Yeung Sir. he is outright evil, he is a cop nonetheless, but he will go into extends to get what he wants. and i like this character. if they have chosen someone whom i dont dislike that much, the effect might have been dilluted. tony leung as a cheeky mole, andy lau's quest for redemption, the odd but strangely smart chen dao ming, the always suspicious mob boss eric tsang and cool kelly chen; i thought the character and the actors themselves have emerged into one. i think the only pity is Anthony wong, he is mia for almost the whole movie.



it's a good tie-up for the trilogy. esp i like the very last scene for IA3 where tony leung went into the hi-fi shop and then he took out a few bags of white powder from a speaker before we see andy lau entering the hi-fi shop, which is exactly the classic scene in IA1 when andy lau's character first met tony leung's character. the quality of this scene (it has those marks which often occurs in those older hk films) matches more to IA1, so i guess it could have been a deleted scene from IA1. but this actually makes the ending of IA3 connect directly to IA1. so it's sort of like an IA1->IA2->IA3->IA1.. cycle. and this coincides with the theme of the trilogy, right.



i think the hardest thing to get in this film is the confusing timeline. every other 15min, there is a shift in time and it gets really frustrating to follow on first viewing. what's worse is that some things did not happen at all, it was just what andy lau was imagining. so sometimes u just get lost in the narration. but once u sort of know where u are at now and know that andy lau is going to develop schizophrenia, everything actually quite falls into place.



there's a scene which i like a lot too. it is when kelly chen has realised that andy lau is not that okay, because he was behaving like tony leung, or at least he was attempting to be like tony leung. the bgm was a Debussy kind of piano piece and then andy lau started repeating everything that tony leung said and the alarm clock suddenly rings. it's almost like A beautiful Mind already. that man is siao!! haha. but it does create that claustrophobic feel.

Finally i finished this. after watching it for the third time. haha. the first time i gave up after 20min and the second time after 40min. and the last time i watched this was already one sem ago.

nice. actually i really like this film. i guess for the first 2 times i was trying too hard to find the plot? because there was no obvious plot and i was very stubborn to try and find one. this time i just heck the plot and just enjoy the sound, the cinematography; and it's really not bad.

i like the last 3 minute of the film, which i guess quite a lot of people brought up on imdb. stephen chow made a paraody on this scene too. there are some angles in which he does look like tony leung.

Japanese Trailer
Another scene with Leslie Cheung

though this is my favourite scene(from 6:01). leslie cheung went to Philippines to find his mother; his mother refused to see him but tried to peek at him from her window. so he chose to not turn back at all, because he felt that since his mum decided not to give him a chance to see her, he too will not give her a chance too. and then he just keep walking without turning back.

I think another interesting thing to note is that the chinese title, 阿飛正傳, is the chinese title for Rebel Without a Cause when it was shown in hk.
