I think you ought to know who I am. Philippe Banoit, practicing pederast. I'm known to play it straight, but not by many.





angelina-jolie-on-the-set-of-clint-eastwoods-the-changeling 

Eastwood's latest is an effort to be bracketed [with] Chinatown or L.A. Confidential in mythologizing the secret history of Los Angeles. But burdened by a convoluted script and an ensemble-proof leading lady, the director fails to illuminate a particular corrupt system. 



Meanwhile, this static, sluggish movie [grows] ever darker—even as it [en]compasses murder, pederasty, captivity, intimations of the Manson family, multiple courtroom scenes, and a death-row confrontation. 



For her part, Jolie reverts to her goth-girl origins—her mask of tragedy suggesting a [skull] costumed for Halloween in a cloche hat and ghoulishly kissable wax red lips.





。少男少女

。青春期

Puberty



。小頑皮

cherub

a celestial being. Gen. 3:24; Ezek. 1, 10.

Theology.
a member of the second order of angels, often represented as a beautiful rosy-cheeked child with wings

He is too honorable to just draw on his lascivious-cherub good looks.

seraphic

Hey, where are you hiding that great seraphic of yours?

impish

It's tawdry and a [potboiler], but those words at least imply a kind of fun and a [modicum] of liveliness. 

The story centers on an [impish] high-school student who has to protect her town [against] her best friend, Jennifer, who after being [be]deviled by an evil rock band, [develops] a taste for human flesh.

urchin

a mischievous boy

Mullen, Miller --- who has the face of a [scrappy] comic-strip [urchin] --- and the director's niece Lynne Ramsay Jr. as James' sister all are [natural] and [appealing]. 

Mr Falco, let it be said at once, is a man of 40 faces, not one. None too pretty, and all deceptive. You see that grin? That's the, uh... that's the "charming street urchin" face.

hob

hobgoblin

We've got a bunch of hobgoblin radicals, the Ecumenical Liberation Army who go around taking home movies of themselves robbing banks.

elfin

Said brokenheart ([elfin]-featured, flaxen-haired Xavier Lafitte) sits in a shabby hotel room, 

gremlin

a mischievous invisible being, said by airplane pilots in world War II to cause engine trouble and mechanical difficulties

So far, I like everything about this script. It slowly shifts from the little girl's story to Katie Holmes's. One concern remains... We already know what is down there... Evil gremlins. So is there any surprise or twist for us?



。幼小

callous

cad 

callow 

moppet

a young child

Anyone who saw Richard Gere and [moppet] co-star Flora Cross hugging blissfully on the poster may have gotten quite the wrong impression what Bee Season is about.

I think you ought to know who I am. Philippe Banoit, practicing [pederast]. I'm known to play it straight, but not by many.

Hard Candy has a 32-year-old fashion photographer with an eye for [jailbait] getting bound and gagged by his latest subject,



greenhorn

an untrained or inexperienced person

a naive or gullible perso, someone who is easily tricked or swindled

Help him out. The guy's just a greenhorn. Listen, mess with a rookie and you'll be sorry later. I don't know. You're violating my civil rights.



。幼獸

dam

cub

a two-month-old [leopard] cub (熊,獅,虎,狼等的) 幼獸

at one point he [hurls] himself on Linney like a [bear] cub who doesn't care if he's caught in the honey pot.

Clinging like a [cub] to Goth-[garbed] cynic Sara is pretty Tracy, a shrinking [violet] whose [sub]terranean self-esteem has led to screaming night terrors and waking self-[mutilation]. 

I'm pregnant. Wow. We're going to have a cub.

whelp

No, you're not, you drunken whelp!

calve

cows after calves make moo.

foal

I've been busy. Smiler's going to have a foal. She's ill. (馬驢等的) 仔

You know, Yellow has inseminated over 1, 000 foals in his lifetime, which might explain his current exhaustion.

The [mare] foaled. What? When? 'Bout half hour ago, and he is a beauty. (馬等) 生 (仔)

It was all jumbled up, but I heard one word real plain.You called it out several times. "Corn cracker." What's that mean? Corn cracker. Corn Cracker was a colt. 小馬駒, 小雄馬

。無法無家

diminutive or very slender girl, especially one who is pert, impudent, or playfully mischievous

Cast at least partly for her Audrey Hepburn [gamin] quality,

hobo

Ossie Davis is perfect casting as a sort of [conciliator], a [hobo] nicknamed the Mayor who injects folk wisdom into the discussion.

Definitely a hobo. They're constantly smoking to keep their lungs sharp for box car jumping.



。走失

reeve

rove


While the central action is presented seriously, things on the periphery are caricatured and one-dimensional, which helps contribute to the widely [roving] tone.

straggle

stray from the road, course, or line of march

The [houses] straggled down the hillside.

Comes the dawn, and we can only shake our heads in disbelief when we see the family [straggling] back into the same room for breakfast. 

Superbad effectively straddles the line [between] nostalgia and chichi without ever feeling forced. 

straddle

The film’s visual design is centered on the [luminosity] of her face, which truly lights up every frame it [dominates], even as her performance rarely strays from a baseline pose—wide-eyed, lips slightly [parted] like a teenage high-fashion model’s, straddling the tenuous line between an enigma and a void.

errant

Tom Ripley, an American who travels to Europe on an all-expenses-paid mission to convince his friend, the [errant] playboy Philippe Greenleaf,

Back to the party. By the point Jamie is attempting to flush an errant turd while staring down Bosch’s vision — a moment that lays out the film’s interest in combinations of the spiritual and the profane — we already know the guy is a dick. He’s loud, [boorish], and pushy,



strew

let fall in separate pieces or particles over a surface, scatter or sprinkle

poles [jutting] [out] of the ground like crosses, religious icons beneath muddy rivers strewn with bullet shells,
