Cosmopolis (墮樂迷城 )
最精彩的
是在電影的最後二十分鐘出現的那個角色
一個小人物
由Paul Giamatti飾演（即酒佬日記的那個男主角）
演得精彩！台詞精彩！Bravo！！
『世界除了別人之外 沒有別的東西了
這是我對人生的看法
我被這些別人圍繞著
人之間就是買賣關係
一起進餐，我會想：看看他們，再看看我自己
光透過我照在街上，我是透明的
我想到其他所有人 他們是怎樣成為他們那樣的人的？
是河堤還有停車場，
是機票還有他們的電腦，
是在擠滿喧鬧人群的餐廳裡交談的，
是那些簽單的人,
是那些把單子從文件夾裡拿出來 然後簽上字，
然後把顧客和商家分別保存的兩聯撕開，
然後把信用卡放回錢包裡。
就這一件事，他們就成為他們了。
我在他們那個對我毫無意義的制度裡好無助
他們想讓我變成無助的機器人士兵
But all I could be was helpless.
我能做的 只是無助。
是女人的鞋，以及她們給那些鞋取的各種花花哨哨的名字
是所有那些在公園裡，在圖書館後面，或在陽光下交談的人！』
世界上居然有與我一樣 整部電影最欣賞這一段的人
他截下的部分 剛好是我上面寫的台詞！
一句不多 一句不少！！
Cheers!

Silver Linings Playbook (失戀自作業)
The only way you could meet my craziness was by doing something crazy yourself.
通常的電影劇情是這樣的：
關係已去到曖昧的男或女的某一方
某情景下 誤以為對方另有鍾情對象
一剎那被失落擊中
恍如 本來精心打扮坐在溫暖乾淨氣氛祥和的餐桌上
一下子被推跌落至剛下過雨或正下著雨泥濘的地上
狼狽不堪，無處可去 一個人漫無目的在街上狂奔
然後 突然間另一方會追出來（通常導演會安排被追的那個要跑得更快：D）
一把抓住他或她
失意的那一個通常會作努力掙脫狀同時伴以憤怒地咆哮：
放開我 或 讓我一個人靜靜 。。。。。。諸如此類
然後被誤解的那一個會抱緊她或他
說 其實 我愛你 或妳
本片雖然精彩但仍逃不出以上的屎橋。
人人都以為 失落的人之所以跌倒
是被別人的傷害所擊中
其實 她只是被自己打倒！
假如妳曾被妳愛的 妳信的 人背叛過
妳最恨的 是妳自己 而非背叛妳的那個人
而生活的精彩之處在於
妳需處理好自己的傷口
像個沒事人一樣 繼續面對傷害妳 背叛妳的那個人
或許某日 妳甚至疑惑 曾經的傷害與背叛是否真的發生過？
不！ 那個心上穿過的洞 永遠都在

Review by Richard S. Ginell
Armed mostly with a brace of standards yet willing to do unpredictable things with them, Richie Beirachturns in one of the more thankfully idiosyncratic editions of the Maybeck Recital Hall Series (this is Vol. 19). This format allows Beirach to exploit his romantic credentials with only a nominal interest in the usual bop formulas, and he throws in a few startling unorthodox glissandos here and there to shake everyone up. Very often, he works compellingly with repetitions in the left hand; the prime examples of this include an "On Green Dolphin Street," and based mostly on the same stabbing syncopation on two notes in the left hand, a lovely now-and-then literal rendition of Bill Evans' take on "Some Other Time," and a sauntering semiboogie interpretation of "All Blues." There is also a unified stream-of-consciousness medley that opens with "Over the Rainbow" and winds up on "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," as well as a really unorthodox "'Round Midnight" with a few humorous surprises. A most absorbing recital, cleanly recorded.
Review by Midori
温かくて、温かくて、この寒い冬に、疲れて耐えられない私を抱いてくれた。
何度も、何度も繰り返して聞いた。
心の一番やわらかいところをやさしくさわってくれた。。。
ありがとう～

I am a lifelong Chet Baker fan and I in fact knew him in the 50s. In the 1956-59 time frame I was taking trumpet lessons from the great lead trumpet man Carlton MacBeth in California and Chet took a few lessons from Carlton to get help with his problem of missing a front tooth. Carlton told me "He has an ear like an elephant!" A essential part of Carlton's teaching was the playing of Pedal Tones to form the correct embrochure and to freshen the lips. In 1957 I heard Chet play at the Los Angeles Jazz club called "Peacock Lane" and between songs he turned his back on the crowd and blew a few Pedal Tones. At the Peacock Lane he played "Bernie's Tune" for me. Later in San Diego, in the 1980s, I saw him playing with Stan Getz at a supper club looking out on the bay. The physical change in him was shocking. In the 50s he had been really handsome with everything about him together - well dressed and all. In the 80's his hair was bedraggled and deep furrows in his face and he was wearing Levi's. But he was playing great and it was really nice to talk to him again!
I would like people to know something about Chet. For one thing, he was really fast and intent. He looked right at you and into your eyes. He read your face very quickly and I have often thought that he would have made a great gun fighter. In his music, Chet relied on his ear and I'm pretty sure that he didn't even know how to read music. In this record you hear these qualities. Everytime Chet played a song, it was different, really different. Listen to My Funny Valentine on this record. Chet saved the best for last. This time My Funny Valentine is full of fire and Chet's solo seems to come from nowhere. Who would have ever thought that such a fantastic solo could have ever been conceived and executed by anyone. There is so much on this Album! I listen to it in my car with my windows down. I even want to be seen listening to it and I want others, probably for the only time in their life, to hear really great Jazz. The whole band cooks.
Chet was selected by Charlie Parker to be his trumpet player and I think there was probably no better judge of a Jazz player than Charlie Parker. To play with Bird you had to be great and to top it off, Chet played with everyone else as well. I have been listening to music and Jazz in particular all my life. I'm 66 now and I have heard it all. It is my opinion that Chet is our greatest Jazz trumpet player. He was not our greatest trumpet player. He couldn't scream double and triple C's and hold down the lead chair like Carlton, Bud Brisbois, or Cat Anderson, but he could make every band cook when he took the solo and that was his gift. Buy this CD and hear the Master!
By Alan Craig - Our greatest Jazz trumpeter!
In my own view
No.1 - Almost blue
No.2 - My Funny Valentine
Things We Said Today 今日の一言
They say ignorance is bliss.
Because once you know about the tumor or the prognosis,
you can't go back.
Will you be strong or will you fall apart?
It's hard to predict.
So don't worry about it.
Enjoy the time you have before the news comes.
Yep. Ignorance is bliss.

Things We Said Today 今日の一言
The body doesn't know the difference between
nerves and excitement,
panic and doubt,
the beginning and the end.
The body just tells you to get the hell out.
Sometimes you ignore it.
That's the reasonable thing to do.
But sometimes you listen.
You're supposed to trust your gut, right?
When your body says run...
Run.

Johnny Hartman - I Just Dropped By To Say Hello - 1963
I JUST DROPPED BY TO SAY HELLO
(Sid Feller / Rick Ward)
as rec by Johnny Hartman Oct 17th 1963 New Jersey
Hope my attitude won't bother you,
But the day was long and my mood is blue;
I couldn't think where else to go,
I just dropped by to say hello.
Nothing special that I want to say,
I just came to pass the time of day.
I've told my heart it mustn't show,
I just dropped by to say hello.
I've forgotten just how sweet our love was,
Except now and then!
Memories fall just like the rain,
And I remember when!
Well, don't let me bore you anymore,
'Cause I'm not quite as lonely as I was before.
I didn't want a thing, you know,
I just dropped by to say hello.
