│M. Night Shyamalan 新片《Old 詭老》在詭譎多變的災後票房中奪冠 │

• 每一週的票房分析的結論都越來越接近，所以乾脆把結語放在前面：結論是完全恢復常態的日子還非常非常遙遠，電影院和整個電影院仍然必須應付變幻無常、非常不穩定的市場，當然也還必須跟著整個世界一起對抗變幻無常的變種病毒。

• M. Night Shyamalan 新片《Old 詭老》上週末在北美賣出了1650萬美元的票房，成為 Shyamalan 的開票歷史新低。但該片卻以這個數字意外擊敗諸多對手，在慘淡的一週成為北美票房冠軍。推究原因是疫情仍然不穩定，使消費者的行為不像預期中那樣「回來了就回來了」，而是每週都會在「去電影院看電影」和「在家看電影」之間隨機擺盪。運氣不好的話，這很可能變成很長一段期間內的產業常態。

• Forbes 的報導非常詳盡地回顧 M. Night Shyamalan 歷來每部電影的票房表現。作者認為許多失敗來自於其他類型的嘗試，因此回到他最拿手的驚悚類型上而言他仍然是一個非常 bankable 有票房潛力的導演。《詭老》的平庸票房必須考量到該片沒有知名演員、不是現成 IP 以及成本僅只1800萬美元，首週末北美票房1650萬、國際票房650萬的表現仍然算是相當成功。

• 上映第二週的《Space Jam: A New Legacy 怪物奇兵：全新世代》則彰顯了疫情後的票房新常態——第二週票房劇烈下滑，跌幅甚至超越《Black Widow 黑寡婦》第二週的67%，達到69%的驚人下滑幅度。兩片的雪崩式票房表現基本上都歸罪於同步上架串流。《黑寡婦》還必須額外付費才能在 Disney+ 上看到，《怪物奇兵：全新世代》甚至是不用額外付費、只要是 HBO Max 現有訂戶就可以直接在家裡點選收看。顯然未來的新常態是那些仍感受到去電影院觀看的迫切性的觀眾將會集中在第一週出門，並可能使電影停留在電影院檔期上的時間大大縮短。

• 最後，則是《Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins 特種部隊：蛇眼之戰》的慘敗。多年來玩具商 Hasbro 和 Paramount 都衷心寄往這系列玩具可以變成另一個 Marvel 宇宙，或者至少是《Transformers 變形金剛》宇宙。然而該系列前兩部電影票房都差強人意，而這次企圖利用獨立電影的方式重啟該系列電影似乎也踢到鐵板。成本高達8800萬（外加行銷費用很可能近億）美元的《特種部隊：蛇眼之戰》北美首週僅收到1330萬的難看數字。不過串流大戰中既有 IP 宇宙的變現潛力實在太過誘人，這次失敗絕對不會打斷 Hasbro 和 Paramount 一試再試的決心。

Which Chinese zodiac sign will have the best 2021? Year of the Ox predictions for love, health, career and wealth
https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/article/3121172/which-chinese-zodiac-sign-will-have-best-2021-year-ox
• Those born in the year of the tiger and rabbit will prosper this year and Hong Kong’s luck will improve overall, a feng shui expert says
• But those born in the year of the ox, horse, sheep and dog can expect a difficult and challenging year
• Those who feel beaten down by the coronavirus pandemic and economic downturn that plagued the Year of the Rat, take heart.
• Starting on Friday, which marks the first day of the Year of the Ox, Hong Kong’s collective fortune is about to change – for the better.
• According to feng shui expert Yunwenzi, or Master Cloud, the new year will be one of nourishment and healing. However, while the city’s overall luck is expected to improve, what the Year of the Ox has in store for us individually will largely depend on the Chinese zodiac sign we were born under.
• To help you navigate through the coming year, here are some tips on the dos and don’ts from Yunwenzi that promise to help each animal sign find health, love and prosperity.
Ox
For those born in the Year of Ox, take heed. This is also a year in which your zodiac sign is at odds with the guardian god Tai Sui (or Fan Tai Shui), who determines the fortunes and setbacks of mortals.
Oxen will face a number of issues in their career in the coming year. Beware of back-stabbing colleagues or getting into disputes. Focus on your work to avoid unnecessary mistakes at work.
“The ox should beware of the risk of getting fired in the coming year. They’ll lack luck and it may be hard for them to get a new job,” warns Yunwenzi. “It is also difficult for them to accumulate wealth this year as they may make bad investment decisions. They should not invest in projects which they are unfamiliar with.”
Oxen will not enjoy much romance either over the next 12 months; try not to look for partners in clubs or at parties. Illnesses will be a problem too, owing to their weak immune system, so they need to take extra care of themselves.
Tiger
Contrary to those born in the Year of the Ox, the tiger is the luckiest of all the 12 zodiac animals this year. They will encounter plenty of gui ren – helpful people – who will help them realise their plans. Tigers should take advantage of the momentum and explore different possibilities. It will be a good time to start a business.
They are also lucky in love this year. For those seeking a relationship, seize the opportunities and enjoy the many pleasant romantic encounters.
“Widening their social circle not only brings them unexpected rewards but also boosts their overall luck in the year,” Yunwenzi explains.
But she reminds the tigers not to be arrogant and opinionated, as having good fortune does not necessarily mean all their actions are without consequences. For those who frequently attend social events, try not to overeat or else risk suffering from cardiovascular diseases.
Rabbit
The Year of the Ox is good for those born under the Rabbit sign. Everything will be quite rosy and they will be able to bounce back from rock bottom. Filled with positivity and optimism, this is a good year for them to set goals and go in new directions.
However, unlike the tigers, there are not many gui ren around for the rabbits and they pretty much have to rely on themselves to get things done. At work, their effort will be recognised by their superior and there might be a chance of promotion.
Romance is also in the air for the rabbits – but mind that large age gap. Patience and mutual understanding are needed if they want to establish a strong relationship.
The rabbit should avoid strenuous exercise to prevent injuries to the limbs.
Dragon
A stable and average year ahead for those born in the Year of the Dragon: their career will come to a standstill, which will make them doubt their working abilities. Yet, a twist of fate is expected after mid-autumn so it’s worth waiting for the opportunity to present itself.
Although dragons will have many romantic encounters this year, they may still end up unsatisfied as they are not devoting much time to nurture their relationship(s). Their impulsiveness also means they easily fall in love with the wrong person.
The dragon will have a weak lung this year, associated with respiratory diseases. They may also be prone to bad skin.
Snake
It will be a year filled with both fortune and risk for snakes. Since you will be surrounded by people, unexpected opportunities will arise from your growing social network.
“Their rising popularity may also attract people who speak with a ‘forked tongue’. They should work more and talk less. Their hard work will pay off,” says Yunwenzi.
Unmarried snakes will stay single this year because they are too picky. They are advised to lower their requirements when looking for a partner.
Beware of health problems such as spinal disc hernia, frozen shoulder and bony spur.
Horse
This will be a roller coaster year for those born in the Year of the Horse. Their long-awaited plans will be postponed or even halted due to unexpected variables, but as the saying goes, “amid every crisis lies a great opportunity”, and career opportunities will arise during the winter.
They should stay calm and sincerely tackle difficulties faced by their colleagues and company. This will gain their boss’s trust and confidence in them.
Apart from work, sincerity is also key to success in relationships. Just be true to yourself and the right person will be attracted by your charisma. Beware of eye and head problems; headaches and dizziness may occur frequently throughout the year.
Sheep
Those born in the Year of the Sheep should expect a difficult and challenging year. They will face a lot of obstacles in all aspects of life. The Year of the Ox is not one for them to make any important decisions such as starting a business or changing jobs as their mind might be clouded with confusion.
The sheep should stop finding excuses and acting like an otaku. Actively expanding and engaging in their social circles will bring them romantic luck.
“This is a Xing Tai Sui year for sheep, which means that they should also care for their safety as it is foreseen that they may have traffic accidents within the year,” warns Yunwenzi.
Monkey
The monkey foresees a flourishing year full of opportunities and good fortune. They should be receptive to new ideas and seize golden opportunities. They will get help from a female gui ren which will help them get better results.
They will also have a breakthrough in their career. They will easily get approval from their boss and promotion is on the horizon. For those who wish to start their own business, it is a good year to test the water by setting up a low-cost online business.
Monkeys will also have a fruitful social life this year. They will have opportunities to make new friends who have charming personalities. Thanks to the monkey’s attractiveness and social popularity, sparks may fly. It is wise for monkeys to make their intentions clear from the start to avoid ambiguous signals that could damage their reputation and friendships.
Kidney deficiency is likely to emerge in the Year of the Ox. They should also be aware of lower back pain.
Rooster
Roosters will have better fortune this year. This will be a “learning year” for them so they should stop being passive and start actively fighting for opportunities. Although the outcome may be unexpected or unsatisfying, each challenge is a golden learning opportunity.
The rooster also receives blessings from Wen Chang, the god that oversees the intelligence and wisdom of mortals. They should use their time for further studies.
People born under the sign of the rooster will not have much luck in love this year. They may feel tired and lose interest in searching for love. The rooster will not suffer from any major health problems this year, though they are prone to catching minor infections.
Dog
The dog is looking at a troubling year ahead as, like those born in the Year of the Sheep, they will go through a Xing Tai Sui year. It will result in an unstable year filled with trouble and difficulties in relationships. Brace yourselves for the worst during the middle of the year.
Accumulated stress means dogs may lose their temper. Bad fortune will come knocking with all that pent-up negativity.
They will also not have any luck in relationships this year. They should choose their partner wisely and only start a relationship when they have a better understanding of their lover. Dogs should also look after their mental health. Poor stress-induced sleep quality will increase the risk of developing mental illness such as depression.
Pig
Fortune shines on the pigs this year. They are always at their best and are quick-witted. They should attend more social gatherings to broaden their network and develop new job and business opportunities. Pigs could also set a more ambitious goal this year.
Those born in the Year of the Pig may be attracted to a number of people simultaneously, and this could even develop into multiple affairs. The complicated relationships will harm their hopes for romance in the long run.
Their health is hugely improved this year, and there is no major health problem predicted.
Rat
After experiencing a terrible Year of the Rat, those born under this animal zodiac sign will see a boost in their fortunes. But they must be persistent and persevere as their luck will remain average for the first half of the year.
They are advised not to set their goals too high but keep their feet on the ground and be prepared to face any challenges. They will be able to achieve their goals in the second half of 2021.
The rat tends to be indecisive in relationships. They lack security when it comes to love, especially when potential new partners emerge on the horizon. It will make them passive and unable to devote themselves to maintaining the relationship, which will not last.
They have a weak reproductive system this year. A regular check-up is advised.

For this episode, we headed down to Obba Jjajang to tackle their undefeated 4KG Jajangmyeon challenge! Obba Jjajang serves Korean cuisine and barbeque with a slight Chinese twist at Tanjong Pagar, a place renowned in Singapore for its Korean restaurant-lined streets. This challenge is solely a Jajangmyeon challenge, which is a black soybean sauce noodle. The sauce comprises of salty black soybean paste, bits of pork and vegetables which is then tossed with noodles to form a delectable black and sticky meal. Completing the 4kg bowl of Jajangmyeon in under 15 minutes nets you $100 while failure means you have to pay for the bowl.

Jajangmyeon can be an acquired taste as it is extremely flavour heavy, being sweet and salty at the same time, and reverts into a thick paste very quickly. For the unprepared, the deep cloyingness of the dish could overwhelm you within bites. While this challenge is not particularly weighty or full of difficult to chew ingredients, the taste fatigue is the true killer. It certainly hit me quickly, but as a professional, I pushed through and completed the challenge in 11 minutes and 18 seconds.

According to the restaurant, I am the first person to complete this 4KG Jajangmyeon challenge. If you truly enjoy Jajangmyeon and have a decent eating capacity, do head town to Obba Jjajang and win yourself $100. I tried to return the money to the owner but he vehemently refusing, citing “A win is a win, doesn’t matter that you’re a professional”. The staff also gave me eating tips, showing that they genuinely want people to win this challenge and enjoy themselves. Obba Jjajang serves many more dishes, including a live barbeque station at each table where you can grill house-marinated meats at your pleasure.

English cover of "Eine Kleine" by Japanese singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu. The title means "A little..." in German. I think the title was taken from Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusic" ("A Little Serenade").

The lyrics were a bit cryptic in places, so hopefully I got the right idea :D The theme seems to be a girl* with low self confidence who finds someone to love, but is constantly worried that it won't last.

*Although the original artist is a male, he sings from a female's
perspective.

歌詞／LYRICS
～♪～♪～♪～♪～♪～

The day that you and I first met
Brought happiness I won’t forget
But all along I’ve had a sorrow inside
I’ve learned to take for granted
These feelings of contentment are so strong I’m filled with pain
They lay seeds of an imminent goodbye surely coming any day

And if my living means I take away
Someone else’s only special place
Then I would rather be the gravel upon the ground
And walked on any day
‘Cause then there would be no misunderstandings and no doubt
No, you wouldn’t know we well enough to pick me out of the crowd

How I wish you had a clue of everything I feel for you
How my heart is flying
But I have a secret I can’t tell anyone alive
So I always end up lying
If you only knew the truth that’s deep inside of me
You’d know I’m more cowardly than you could ever see
So why, oh why, oh why…

Even through the pain lingering and rips in the seams
When you are here beside me
I can smile and laugh them away, and say it’s okay
Oh, what a gift you gave me
It’s like everything in my view is fading but you
‘Til you are all that I see
You gave me that miracle and left me wanting more
You called out my name and nothing’s like it was before

Well if it meant you wouldn’t pay the cost
Wouldn't lose your place and wander lost
Then I would gladly sacrifice someone else
Instead of you without a thought
And time and time again, we’re bound to smile as we pretend
We’re blind to the future, living a lie so small but certain

It doesn’t matter how I pray, or how I vow
Every night I’m haunted by the same dream
Where a little twist will come, swallow you and leave me numb
Taking you so far away from me
If you only knew the truth that’s deep inside of me
You’d know that I’m more spineless than you could ever see
So why, oh why, oh why…

Darling, please, tell me we can stay forever this way
Two hands entwined with our love
As we cross uncrossable nights, into the daylight
Where you will go, I’ll follow
And I wonder how I can shine into your closed eyes
All colors of the rainbow
I don’t know if I will be enough for you to stay
But, darling, I hope you don’t mind if I call your name

From the moment I was born, I never felt that I belonged
Screaming, "Let me disappear!" - ‘cause everything felt so wrong
Ever since then I’d been searching for somewhere all along
I could someday be free, and I found you finally
