French actor Philippe Noiret died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. He was 76. The Cinema Paradiso star appeared in more than 125 films and also took to the stage in a string of plays. Noiret started his career in 1956 in Agnes Varda's film La Pointe Courte. He won two Cesar Awards (the French Oscars) for Best Actor for his roles in Robert Enrico's 1976 film Le Vieux Fusil and Bertrand Tavernier's 1990 production La Vie Et Rien D'Autre. French Prime Minister Dominique De Villepin paid tribute to Noiret, saying, "Through his voice, his allure, his panache, Philippe Noiret knew how to seize and express something within the French soul. The silhouette and the voice, so tender and familiar, will be missed by all."
昨天没有白岩松,换成了孙楠,讨论的话题是音乐与世界杯。可是黄健翔和刘建宏就是俩音乐白痴,孙楠一个流行歌手,说白了就是一唱卡拉OK的,三个人凑在一起胡诌,简直是惨不忍听。黄健翔问孙楠什么音乐适合英格兰队;那胖子脱口而出说“当然是英式摇滚啊”。黄健翔又问“哪首歌算是英式摇滚呢?”孙胖子想了半天:“这个,这个……比如说甲壳虫乐队的We will rock you就算!”
昨天看了一个关于文革的纪录片《八九点钟的太阳》,英文名字叫Morning Sun。片尾的拍摄机构写的是The Research School of Pacific and Asia Studies, the Australian National University。总的来说拍得还算客观公正,只是有一点虎头蛇尾的感觉。
我在这里不是要大发一段议论或者感慨,而是要讨论一款匡威鞋。事情起源于我提到的这个纪录片里的一个匪夷所思的镜头:在片子的53分30秒左右,讲67年红卫兵抄家,画面里一个红卫兵分明穿着一双Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star!(见下面的截图)画面转瞬即逝,但还是被我逮到了。因为我现在天天穿的就是这双鞋,而且看过一篇文章《50大经典球鞋》,这款鞋名列榜首。
