What mythic creature is a Little Dragon Girl? Why must a singaporean girl be a monster? Who is this louis cha? I urge all not to play with the mystic. I fear for our future where people play with dna and cross breed human and animals.

本地版杨过小龙女第一人选 金庸心属周初明、李南星、郭舒贤

发布/2018年11月1日 3:13 PM/罗瑱玲来自/联合晚报
 

金庸心属周初明(左起)或李南星演杨过,郭舒贤演小龙女。

   

金庸选周初明或李南星演杨过,郭舒贤演小龙女。

本地版《神雕侠侣》由李铭顺和范文芳主演,但两人不是金庸第一人选!

新闻中心总编辑韩咏梅1997年访问金庸时,适逢当时的新视(新传媒前身)即将开拍《神雕侠侣》,她递了6位男艺人及5位女艺人的照片让金庸过目,男艺人有:李铭顺、李南星、周初明、秦伟、常鲁峰和陈汉玮;女艺人则是:范文芳、郑惠玉、郭淑贤、郭妃丽和郑秀珍。

金庸当时亲自挑选本地“神雕大侠”与“小龙女”,李南星、周初明与郭淑贤是第一人选。

金庸当时首先挑出郭舒贤的照片,认为她最像小龙女,同时颇有当年陈玉莲的气质。至于第二人选,他推选郑秀珍,不过认为郑秀珍过于“刚强”,结果败下阵来。

神雕大侠杨过的人选,周初明与李南星同时获得金庸的青睐,金大侠认为两人的形象都适合饰演杨过。

Louis Cha really is a grand master of story telling.

The irony is, his last published book was released in 1972, which means he has not been producing any new work since more than 45 years ago. Yet most Chinese still know his works which have been remade into movies and TV serials. 

94 years is a long life, RIP. 

 

but wasn't he almost an invalid after a stroke in 1997???? meaning the last 20 years of his life wasnt really "living" for him. 

i really really loved his books, and wish him peace now... 20 years was a long drag.

It seems his passing was very low profile as if it was a non-event?  No massive celebrities attending his wake, no PRC president paying a visit, not much stories  about him on msm, no special documentaries,  no half mast flag and hongkongers are still going about their life?

Guest On Target

The American liberal / progressive / leftwing political website Daily Kos has published a beautiful article about how Stan Lee's embrace of diverse characters like Black Panther, Falcon, War Machine, Luke Cage a.k.a. Power Man, and Shang-Chi the Master of Kung-Fu, along with many other minorities and women, helped the generations that grew up reading Marvel Comics starting in the 1960s shake off the shackles of white supremacy and hateful racism which had long choked their country.

 

He also replied directly to bigoted fans who wrote letters complaining about too many characters which were Black, Asian, Hispanic, Female, Disabled, etc. -- setting the record straight by lecturing them that diversity makes the USA stronger -- and the world for that matter.

 

When the USA finally puts an end to the recent resurgence of racism, misogyny, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia inspired by the likes of Trump and his idol Putin, people under 50 will largely be front and center, and their support of a multicultural country and planet will be a lasting legacy for Stan Lee among the many who dedicated their lives to such a wonderful dream. I can think of no better tribute to someone who was much more than a mere comic book and cartoon creator.

I love how the author of that Daily Kos tribute to Stan Lee spent the money his racist grandfather gave him and bought Marvel Comics which taught him not to be like his racist grandfather. Stan Lee, challenger and adjuster of awful attitudes around the world, Rest In Peace!

Last Emperor director Bernardo Bertolucci dies at age 77

ROME (AFP) - •Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, whose films include Last Tango In Paris and 1900, died on Monday (Nov 26), Italian media said.

He was 77. His publicist said he died at home in Rome from cancer.

Considered one of the giants of Italian cinema, he also mined success in Hollywood and was the only Italian ever to win the Oscar for best film, snapping up the award in 1988 for The Last Emperor.

The biographical masterpiece about the last Chinese emperor won a total of nine Oscars, all of those for which it was nominated, including Best Director.

It was also touted as the first Western epic about China that was made with the Chinese government's cooperation.

Born in Parma, north-eastern Italy, in 1941, Bertolucci made films that were often highly politicised, dealing with workers' struggles in 1976 movie 1900 or the fate of left-wingers in fascist Italy in The Conformist (1970).

He acquired notoriety for his 1972 erotic drama Last Tango In Paris starring Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, which featured a controversial sex scene involving butter.

But others noted that the movie explored politics and sexuality too.

According to trade publication Variety, Bertolucci later revealed that the scene was not told to Schneider, then 19, in advance, in order to get an authentic reaction from her "as a girl, not as an actress".

But the controversy over the movie allowed him to tap a high-profile cast, including Robert De Niro, Gerard Depardieu and Burt Lancaster, for his 300-minute epic 1900, the Guardian noted.

When asked in 2013 how he would like to be remembered, Bertolucci said: "I don't care. I think my movies are there, people can see them.

"And sometimes I laugh, thinking I will be remembered more as a talent scout of young girls than as a film director."

The list of starlets he discovered includes Dominique Sanda in The Conformist, Schneider, Liv Tyler in Stealing Beauty (1996) and Eva Green, who made her screen debut in The Dreamers (2003).

Bertolucci, who had been wheelchair-bound for more than a decade, won an honorary Palme d'Or for his life's work at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

R.I.P .

 

PENNY MARSHALL passes at 75 years old. from diabetes complications.

 

loved the sitcom  LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY.

 

SPINOFF  from happy days.

 

<p>The actor rose to fame as Moran&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>Happy Days</em> love interest Chachi Arcola, and joined her on the spin-off,&nbsp;<em>Joanie Loves Chachi.&nbsp;</em>The role led him to the lead part on the equally successful&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Charles-Charge-Season-Scott-Baio/dp/B000CELOVI/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493069738&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=charles+in+charge"><em>Charles in Charge</em></a>, and later, series like&nbsp;<em>Baby Talk</em> and&nbsp;<em>Diagnosis Murder.&nbsp;</em>He was the subject of the 2007 reality series&nbsp;<em>Scott Baio Is 45 &#8230; and Single</em> before marrying&nbsp;Ren&eacute;e Sloan later that year. Together, the couple has a 9-year-old daughter, Bailey.</p>

 

 

<p>Since breaking hearts as&nbsp;Arthur &#8216;Fonzie&#8217; Fonzarelli on&nbsp;<em>Happy Days</em>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Henry-Winkler/e/B000APT04M/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1493069893&amp;sr=8-2-ent">Winkler</a> hasn&#8217;t slowed down. He jumped into the TV series&nbsp;<em>Monty&nbsp;</em>and a slew of films before appearing as a featured player on shows like&nbsp;<em>Parks and Recreation</em> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Top-Banana/dp/B006IWJAXM/ref=sr_1_1?s=instant-video&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493069873&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=arrested+development"><em>Arrested Development</em></a> (which re-teamed him with Ron Howard), all while dipping his toes into producing, too. Most recently seen on&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s Hospital</em> and&nbsp;<em>Royal Pains</em>, he&#8217;s been married to wife&nbsp;Stacey since 1978 and has two adult children (son Max is an actor) and a stepson with her.</p>

 

 

<p>Like Moran, beloved&nbsp;<em>Happy Days</em> matriarch&nbsp;Ross, who played Marion Cunningham, joined&nbsp;<em>The Love Boat</em> after her hit series ended. Though she earned a steady string of credits through the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s, including <em>The Drew Carey Show</em> and&nbsp;<em>Gilmore Girls</em>,&nbsp;her more recent work has been as a voice actress on animated hits like<em> SpongeBob SquarePants</em> and&nbsp;<em>Handy Manny.&nbsp;</em>She and husband of 18 years Freeman Meskimen divorced in 1969; together they have two children, who both have ties to Hollywood.&nbsp;</p>

 

<p>After jumping from&nbsp;<em>Happy Days</em> to&nbsp;<em>The Love Boat</em>, Bosley, who played&nbsp;patriarch Howard Cunningham, moved on to&nbsp;<em>Murder, She Wrote</em> and&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Father-Dowling-Mysteries-Complete/dp/B00AMU8K8C/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493070289&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=father+dowling+mysteries">Father Dowling Mysteries</a>.&nbsp;</em>His first love was theater, though: he won a Tony in 1960 for his work in&nbsp;<em>Fiorello!&nbsp;</em>on Broadway and originated the role of Maurice in Disney&#8217;s Broadway production of&nbsp;<em>Beauty and the Beast</em>&nbsp;in 1994. He passed away in 2010 from complications brought on by a staph infection, and was survived by his second wife, actress&nbsp;Patricia Carr.</p>

Let us all pray for his recovery so that he can returned healthily to his mum and family and loved ones.

 

I am personally Skipping dinner and breakfast to fast and pray for his recovery.

 

I will skip saunas and release for 2 weeks penance for Aloysius.

 

Separation is the hardest pain to bear for a parent.

Instead of arguing until rhe dairy cows come back one by one, 

 

use the keyboard time and reflect about Aloysius Pang , lying there hooked up in tubes and monitors  , in pain, in tears, and his poor mum and family watching him fight for his life.

 

used that time to ask a divine power to intervene and provide strength.

Quietened down your heart and remember Aloysius in your own moment, 

 

Maybe he took one blow for the rest of you.Maybe not. 

 

Please say a prayer if u can. 

Especially just bwfore CNY, family separation is the hardest.
