最近記憶力實在有點「鈍」,這麼說是因為,不是想不起來,如果用力想還是可以記起來,但是會消耗掉許多腦細胞,就像廚房那把常常不利的菜刀。腦袋在私下運作 ( 腦筋急轉彎 ),把我的記憶力分類區隔封鎖,抗議我不應該把腦力浪費在「不是很重要只是為賦新詞強說愁的材料」,既然如此,在11月30號時就再買一本筆記本 (
WAT 我看的劇情是:男主是個固定上AA的偵探,某天AA成員peter說自己的哥哥kenny老婆被綁慘遭撕票,想請男主幫忙。男主去拜訪kenny,發現k是毒販 ( k說:Properly speaking, I'm more of a trafficker than a dealer. 正確地說,我是個大盤商不是藥頭 ),警察退休的男主不屑在談下去,男主認為是單純的毒犯間黑吃黑,直到晚上男主回家看著不請自來的k聽他詳說,發覺事情似乎不單純,歹徒似乎以活體肢解為樂,男主答應k的請託。男主先從報紙尋找關於綁架殺人的案件,遇到以中途之家為家的小黑男,小黑男幫助不熟悉電腦的男主尋找資料,並且你一句我一句的問候。男主找到兩件類似案件,先從最近的發生時間找起,是一起女大生白天被擄走、隔天被發現肢解的屍塊漂浮在墓園 (Green-Wood Cemetery) 湖中,男主和墓園管理員談話後,便跟蹤管理員行跡,發現其住在被害女大生的對面,男主先到被害女大生的居處訪談目擊女友被綁的男友,發現男友也是一名毒犯。男主趁著管理員離家後,溜進管理員的頂樓鴿棚,找到拍攝被害女大生起居的照片,男主勸說返回的管理員坦白從寬,管理員才說出在一個不能說的場所,遇到兩名聲稱是DEA的警員,其中一人名叫Ray,這兩人半脅迫半誘惑地讓管理員參與綁架,直到管理員親眼目睹他們開始肢解的第一刀。男主勸服無效,管理員自殺式地縱身一跳,男主只得另找第二條線索。男主告訴kenny,歹徒一定會再犯案,請kenny通知他熟識的大盤自身小心。男主在循第二題線索時,發現被害人marie即是DEA的警員,並且從其他跟監毒犯的員警口中拼湊出,原來兩名殺人狂在殺害marie後順手拿走其他毒販個資,其中一份是peter買毒被捕後出賣哥哥kenny的身家資料,也因此殺人狂才會盯上peter愛慕的嫂嫂導致其被殺害。男主向peter逼問一切後決定退出,然而隔天男主去向kenny退傭金時,peter告訴男主殺人狂真的又出現了,這次被綁的是一個小女孩。基於以前失手射殺一個小女孩的愧疚,男主決定出面與殺人狂斡旋,(

The heart of the suggested program of personal recovery is contained in Twelve Steps describing the experience of the earliest members of the Society:

SUE 我看的劇情...嗯,這個劇情簡單些,可以google《波特萊爾大遇險》,沒錯,這部也是小說翻拍的,( 有讀者說原著結局就是沒有結局 ),電影結局以逝去父母的一封信:
''Dearest children, since we've been abroad we have missed you all so much. Certain events have compelled us to extend our travels. One day, when you're older, you will learn all about the people we've befriended and the dangers we have faced. At times, the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe us when we say that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey. We hope to have you back in our arms soon, darlings. But in case this letter arrives before our return, know that we love you. It fills us with pride to know that no matter what happens in this life that you three will take care of each other with kindness and bravery and selflessness, as you always have. And remember one thing, my darlings, and never forget it: That no matter where we are, know that as long as you have each other, you have your family, and you are home. Your loving parents.''
再加上虛構人物 Lemony Snicket 一席話為三姊弟命運作註解:
Passing the torch is a rite of passage that can take many forms. But perhaps the least known and most surprising is the passing of a spyglass.
Dear reader, there are people in the world who know no misery and woe. And they take comfort in cheerful films about twittering birds and giggling elves. There are people who know that there's always a mystery to be solved. And they take comfort in researching and writing down any important evidence. But this story is not about such people. This story is about the Baudelaires. And they are the sort of people who know that there's always something. Something to invent, something to read, something to bite and something to do to make a sanctuary, no matter how small. And for this reason, I am happy to say, the Baudelaires were very fortunate indeed.
