Ferris Bueller... a new analysis!

Read this paper and find how Ferris Bueller can become a framework of analysis for the modern technology.

Thanks to Christopher for his discovery! By the way, when was the last time you stopped and looked around?

(Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. )

Wendy and Lisa... Yatta

As you grow older you learn that you wishes will probably never get granted. Yet you leave a little piece of blue sky open to surprises and serendipities.

Here's one : Wendy and Lisa will soon release a new record. Last time I heard that was with their collaboration to "Heroes". I so loved their first album Wendy and Lisa with the magnificient songs that were enlightened wth the color of sadness (1987) ; I remember buying this CD from Fanc Les Halles and listening to it over and over with tears in my eyes. And 11 years after, Girl Bros with some wonderful songs (e.g. Reaching one, I've got a big bowl of cherries, ...).

I found the news from MySpace.

You can download for free and legally one track of their forthcoming album : Balloon.

Look at their website also!

I wish I could have attended their concert early January in 200x? in L.A.

Wendy and Lisa have alwyas been in my life and they will stay forever...

Days of being wild

This is the first movie of 4 I intended to watch... while waiting for a phone call.

Days of being wild took me back to Wong Kar Wai magical film making. This is his second movie.

Days of being wild refers to men seduction over women and the consequences. Note also that the hotel scene shows romm206 key but next scenes show room 204. Why?

My fisrt encounter with Wong Kar Wai was when I saw 2046... I'll get back to this masterpiece in a future post.

21... of July is Paris Plage

Paris Plage...

Alone in Tokyo by Philippe Bloom

My sassy girl (Yeopgijeogin geunyeo)

It comes from a real love story turned into a blog by Ho-sik Kim. An example can be found here. He also turned his original script into Manga.

It was first shown in France on 04/03/13 (J) but the movie was originally released in 2001 and was immediately a massive hit in Asia.

The story details are here on IMDB and here.

Note that it could only be found in France as a DVD since the US bought the movie for a remake...

The original company that produced this movie is called... Shin Cine ;-) (PN, what do you think?)

More here, here and elsewhere.

Another movie ordered on the web which did not immediately appeal to me. It took me about a full half hour to get caught. It never left me for the 2 remaining hours. And you check the time stamp, I sometimes watch it at night (I just finished watching it).


A sequel called windstruck is available (check IMDB). I haven't seen it yet.
