[Chorus]
I want some of your Brown Sugar
Sugar [4 times]
Oohooh
Oh Sugar when you're close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let me hit it
Sweet like the honey when it comes to me

Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar
Sugar [4 times]
Oohooh

Brown Sugar got me open, now I want some more
Always down for a menage troi
But I think I'ma hit it solo

太嗨了！July 6~29，義大利妞專題正好配合檔期 (7/19~8/17)，我和 Vitti 註定要相會。
From international superstars and sultry temptresses to fast-talking firebrands, Italian cinema has given us some of the greatest actresses ever to grace the silver screen. This survey covers a remarkable range of styles, encompassing the verbal fireworks of Anna Magnani ( 不設防城市 ), the innocence of Giulietta Masina ( 費里尼老婆 ), and the beauty of Claudia Cardinale and Sophia Loren. This series is produced by Cinecittà Holding with the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture-General Direction Cinema, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, and curated by Piera Detassis, from the book Signore & Signore. All films in Italian with English subtitles.

With Monica Vitti, Marcello Mastroianni, Giancarlo Giannini
A legendary comic farce with few equals in Italian cinema, this hysterical soap opera features a dream-team of actors anchored by the sublime Monica Vitti as the object of two men's affections.
“Intelligently entertaining, with its eclectic humour…and polished performances.”

Thu, Jul 12 at 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm
With Alida Valli, Massimo Serato
When a young nobleman in 19th century Lombardy marries a peasant girl, it raises the ire of the local nobility, and leads to disastrous circumstances. Valli, best known to U.S. audiences as the enigmatic Anna in The Third Man, is magnificent as a young woman driven to the brink of insanity by a terribly tragedy in her marriage.

The Lady Without Camelias (La Signora senza camelie)
(1953) 106min Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni
Fri, July 13 at 2, 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm
With Lucia Bosè, Andrea Checchi
In this stinging rebuke to the Italian film industry, the luminous Bosè stars as a simple shop-girl who is discovered by a movie producer. However, his jealousy leads to disaster when he casts her in a Joan of Arc biopic. Antonioni uses the studio framework to gleefully dissect the cruelty and coldness of movie-stardom.
“A groundbreaking film for its representation of the relationship between art, money, and stardom.”

Bellissima
(1951) 110min Directed by Luchino Visconti
Sun, July 15 at 2, 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm
With Anna Magnani, Walter Chiari
Visconti's film centers on a child actor competition at Cinecittà, and the ensuing backstage politics. An affectionate satire on moviemaking and social aspirations in Italy, it stars the marvelous Magnani, who unleashes her trademark verbal attacks on anyone who gets in the way of her daughter entering and winning the contest.

With Claudia Cardinale, Jacques Perrin
A nightclub singer (Cardinale) pursues a wealthy man (who seduced then abandoned her) to his family home, where she becomes involved with his teenage brother. The film showcases Zurlini's gift for melding melancholic, meditative moods with a strong political sensibility; it's also one of the radiant Cardinale's first major films.
本來對 Claudia Cardinale 沒什麼興趣的，但海報太正。

Fri, July 27 at 2, 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm

With Terence Stamp, Silvana Mangano, Laura Betti
Pasolini's finest merging of Catholic iconography with his Socialist politics, Teorema casts Stamp as a mysterious stranger who infiltrates a wealthy household. The film belongs to Silvana Mangano as the mother seduced by Stamp's Christ/Devil figure.
“Pasolini achieved his most perfect fusion of Marxism and religion with a film that is both political allegory and mystical fable.”

The Columbia Guide to Standard American English
prize, prise, pry (vv.)
There are two verbs spelled prize.
The first means“to value highly”; it poses no particular problems.
The second prize means“to pry (open or up),”as in She used the poker to prize open the locked file drawer.
Prise is this prize's British spelling.
To pry is“to use a tool called a pry as a lever in moving, opening, or raising something”: We pried open a window on the side of the house.
In this sense pry and prize (2) are synonyms, but they are not in the intransitive figurative sense of pry meaning“to intrude, to seek information rudely,”as in She was always prying into matters that were none of her concern.

Lollapalooza (續：大人物 君王 單字大集合)
Portraits of Mary show that she had a small, well-shaped head, a long, graceful neck, bright auburn hair, hazel-brown eyes, under heavy lowered eyelids and finely arched brows, smooth lustrous skin, a high forehead, and regular, firm features.
While not a beauty in the classical sense, she was an extremely pretty child who would become a strikingly attractive woman. In fact, her effect on the men with whom she later came into contact was certainly that of a beautiful woman.
Despite the fact that Mary was tall for her age (she attained an adult height of 5 feet 11 inches, which would have made her almost a giant in the sixteenth century) and fluent in speech, while Henry II's son and heir Francis was abnormally short and stuttered, Henry commented that "from the very first day they met, my son and she got on as well together as if they had known each other for a long time"
On 24 April 1558 Mary married the Dauphin Francis at Notre Dame de Paris, Francis assuming the title King consort of Scots. When Henry II died on 10 July 1559, Mary, Queen of Scots, became Queen consort of France; her husband becoming Francis II of France.

【死亡人偶】女主角 羅珊梅斯基達訪台
典型的爛報導，台灣又不是沒小眾市場，什麼片都可以弄成像 The Dreamers 那般不堪入目，搞得你我都是狼狽的變態狂一樣！而且 Roxane 的旗袍裝被拍得很難看，本人一定超正，今天看報紙才知道，什麼都錯過了，害我想嘗試當追星粉絲都不行。

死亡人偶 / SHEITAN

【死亡人偶】號稱比【恐怖旅舍】更煽情離奇，比【沈默之丘】還驚悚血腥的虐殺片，由文森卡索監製主演，延續著恐怖大師昆丁塔倫提諾的風格，將嗜血美學操弄到一個新的頂點。狂歡的聖誕派對中，一群精蟲衝腦的年輕人，禁不住辣妹尹娃的熱情的邀約，來到一棟巴黎郊區的舊古堡。幽靜的房子裡，緩慢移動的空氣中，掛著一個個未完成的玩偶；豐盛的紅酒晚宴裡，管家約瑟夫緩緩訴說一個古老的轉世詛咒…
這幾年很流行的誇大聳動對比。
加印場只放在場次表，節目表都查不到，我很想一親 Roxane 芳澤啊！
以後要常看布蕾亞的電影：Roxane Mesquida
