我每一块香皂再附上一个故事

Departures 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. art took on taboo and won. a powerful film about dignity and opening your mind.

Slumdog Millionaire 10th anniversary

1990's It and 2017's It are like the project your film lecturer assigned and one is produced by you and the other is produced by the dean's lister.

fire Ed Woodward

it's time to hold Ed Woodward accountable. the managers and the players execute the job, but he provides the tools. we keep saying Ferguson handed over a sub-par squad. he's had 5 years - what has he done?

2013

signed Fellaini, Mata, Varela - 2 of 3 not good enough.

released Fabio.

2014

signed Falcao, Di Maria, Shaw, Blind, Rojo, Herrera - none has remained a starter.

released Kagawa, Evra, Vidic, Keane, Zaha, Anderson.
 
2015

signed Memphis, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Darmian, Martial - 4 of 5 not good enough.

released Memphis, Schneiderlin, McNair, Schweinsteiger.

2018

clearly need defenders and a central midfielder. signed Fred and a teenage right-back.

Chelsea, transfer-window clowns

For once United aren't the transfer-window clowns.

Chelsea let Alisson join Liverpool for £56m, didn't know Courtois wanted out, couldn't structure a straight swop for Navas, so now pay £71m for Kepa.

Furthermore, some believe Kovacic is a better player than Bakayoko. I'm not so sure.

power to the people, stick it to the man.

Ridley Scott's American Gangster is proof that if Hollywood wants to, it can make triad films like Hong Kong can.

Carpool Adventures

Drove 3 millennials home. They spoke about removing a friend from a WhatsApp group, a friend's fashion choices, who is fashionable in school, a friend who wears revealing clothes, the school elections, and turning legal to enter a club.

It was a trip I didn't regret.

if the headline is big enough, it makes the news big enough.

革命就是为了四万万同胞人人有恒业，不啼饥，不号寒。十年过去，与我志同者相继牺牲，我从他乡漂泊重临。革命两字于我而言，不可同日而语。今天再道何谓革命，我会说，欲求文明之幸福，不得不经文明之痛苦。

the closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see.
