abbott and costello的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

《異星入境》（Arrival）故事看起似簡單，但卻寓意深遠又充滿諭示，不只關於時間、生命、自由意志，甚至搞不好是個宣導長片，因為外星人可能早就與軍方接觸，也快被揭露了也說不定。

有趣的是，想要看懂 Arrival，尤其是那莫名其妙的太空船豆莢，有個方法，就是回頭去看史丹利·庫柏力克（Stanley Kubrick）在1968年導演的《2001太空漫遊》（2001: A Space Odyssey）。豆莢應該就是黑面石板（monolith）的變形。Arrival 應該是個以語言學中的沙皮爾-沃爾夫假說（Sapir–Whorf hypothesis）作為引子，連結《2001太空漫遊》（2001: A Space Odyssey）的外星文明入境概念，然後再講個經由「時間觀念的改變」，而能產生下一個「文明大躍進」的故事。

另一個有趣的地方是，兩個七足外星人（heptapods）的英文名字是 Abbott and Costello，一樣是個象徵（電影裡兩個名字的中文翻譯是，美國隊長與鋼鐵人，完全失去原意，而且失去這兩個名字所隱含的精神，有點可惜）。Abbott and Costello 是美國四、五零年代時，於電視與收音機節目裡的當紅鬧劇角色，他們最有名的幽默橋段是：”Who’s on First?” 而這個橋段的模擬兩可之處，剛好就是《異星入境》裡的「回文」概念。而回文的概念，就是外星人的時間觀「此處此刻的原點」。

我們會有時間的概念，應該是與「此處此刻的原點」分裂開來，因為文字與聲音會將此刻分化出一個個往前延伸的小單位，而產生岔出的一條線，也產生出時間前進的感受。然而，外星人的「此處此刻（外星人的圓）」不是人類認識的那種時間。他們的時間感應該不是向外發射的線性時間，而是融為一體的時空感受。以文字象徵就是「回文」，也就是 Dr. Banks 女兒的 Hannah；以人類能理解的事物為象徵，就是 Abbott and Costello 和他們的 Who’s on First? 若是以電影裡的橋段為代表，就是 Dr. Banks 與 Costello 真正的面對面接觸，真正的以同時性的心電感應溝通之時。

。。。。。。

上面幾段，是電影看完後的簡單紀錄，文章過兩天上傳。請等待。

- It's not often a team misses three alley-oops in one quarter and still wins by 26 points. It's even rarer for the Washington Wizards to start 0-5.

That hasn't happened since they were the Baltimore Bullets.

The Denver Nuggets treated the Verizon Center as their own personal playground Friday night, breaking a three-game losing streak with a 118-92 victory that provided comic relief for the winners and showers of boos for the losers.

"We scored 118; we threw away 20," Denver coach George Karl said. "We play a style where I know we're going to have mistakes, but sometimes we make the mistakes and don't make the defense make the plays. It will be interesting the film we'll put together -- maybe we'll put it to Abbott and Costello."

Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points, including 12 consecutive Denver points in the third quarter. Marcus Camby added 13 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for the Nuggets, who shot 51 percent and rebounded from a 119-93 pounding Wednesday night at Boston.

"We lost three straight -- and this was the game we really needed," Anthony said. "We needed to get our confidence back, get our swagger back."

The Wizards fell to 0-5 for the first time since 1966, when their home was up the road in Baltimore. The third quarter has to rank among the most embarrassing 12 minutes of basketball since the team moved to the nation's capital: Coach Eddie Jordan, who pronounced his team's mind-set as "fine" before the game, watched his team miss 7 of 10 shots, commit 12 turnovers and get outscored 33-11 in the quarter.

"We just weren't disciplined. We didn't stay organized. We didn't rebound. We didn't share the ball. We didn't execute," Jordan said. "It's one of the most disappointing games I've been involved in."

Gilbert Arenas, still laboring on a surgically repaired left knee that was drained for a second time on Wednesday, finished with 18 points on 5-for-13 shooting. He made 2 of 8 3-pointers and is 5-for-32 from 3-point range on the season. He remained in the trainer's room long after the game and was not available for comment, needing treatment after playing 42 minutes on Thursday in New Jersey and 37 minutes on Friday.

"Back-to-back's going to be difficult for him right now," Jordan said.

Caron Butler scored 14 of his 21 points in the first quarter for the Wizards, while Antawn Jamison (6-for-17) and DeShawn Stevenson (0-for-6) continued to struggle from the field. Washington shot 38 percent, only a slight improvement over their NBA-worst 36.4 percent entering the game.

"We need to get our act in order, and we have to find a way to get a win, period," Jamison said. "Not only get a win, but find a way to get this thing rolling because it's not rolling at all. You can see it. When you're out there, you're experiencing it."

The Nuggets had won their first two and lost their next three, but they were in the mood to have fun Friday. They attempted six alley-oops, missing all three in the second quarter but making three others, including a poetry-in-motion twisting reverse slam by J.R. Smith on a feed from Allen Iverson in the fourth quarter.

Smith finished with 16 points and Iverson had 15 points and eight assists, but Anthony had the best run. The Baltimore native's 12 straight points in the third quarter all came on jump shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, as part of a 14-4 spurt that gave the Nuggets an 80-58 lead. Anthony went 3-for-13 against the Celtics, but he was 14-for-24 Friday night.

"'Melo led us tonight. He caught fire," Iverson said. "We just rode his coattails all the way in."
