- design for living 华丽上班族之生活与生存 - directed by edward lam, written by sylvia chang 导:林奕华, 编:张艾嘉
i disliked it. the characters are cardboard. the plot may be busy but doesn't really amount to anything. the situations are cliched. the dragon lady's emotional arcs aren't convincing and some bits feel like they're simply excuses to let sylvia channel elegant ennui or to howl majestically.

book
- expecting someone taller - tom holt
starts off compelling and hilarious. but it loses steam very quickly. holt can't write about love, it becomes tremendously dull.
