武藤兰确已病逝，不是自杀。
先是蛤蟆兄给提供了一条关于此事的链接。内容如下——

再顺藤摸瓜查下去，有的消息说是死于6月19日，有的说是6月21日。但是种种迹象表明，确实是已经过世了。

谈不到伤心，可还是有点因此而郁郁。武藤兰不是我喜欢的类型，可这人还是熟悉的。
我有点想起《爱情灵药》来。想起陈升演的那个与满屋子的A书同生同死的小老板，郑铁男。他迷恋着A书上的每一个姑娘，满心怜爱，即便是逢场作戏，他也全把她们当作是自己的女人一样恋爱者。我们没有那么多情，可我们那孤单痛苦又漫长的青春里，也实在是多蒙那些或勇猛或温柔的武藤兰们的眷顾。她们不曾从我们身上赚到一分钱，我们却从她们身上受惠颇多。我觉得，对这样的女人心怀一些无关世道人心的些许感激，是应该的。

料芳卿魂灵儿未远，兰兰，再见。

附武藤兰简历/访谈/照片（从内容判断，访谈应该是2002年所做，有些地方挺可爱，我标成了红色）：

Interviewer: Then again, even Nagase Ai started out as a really minor star until she made her big break. Maybe that’s whats happening to you right now. There’s a lot of your tapes being released right now.
Ran: Yeah, I’m really happy that I’m starting to gain popularity. Still, I’m only doing the regular tapes. So I do get the feeling that I’m being limited at times.

Interviewer: How odd.
Ran: Well, I’m not really good at acting.

Interviewer: I think being as pretty as you are should be good enough.
Ran: Oh, I’m not that pretty (laughs). My stomach sticks out a bit and I have a real big complex about my face.

Interviewer: No way! Why! Are you stupid or something? What about your face?
Ran: Everyone tells me that I look really freaky when I get angry. One of the girls I worked with recently got so curious about it that she asked the staff to make sure that I was okay.

Interviewer: Oh come on. You’re talking about expressions, not your face.
Ran: (laughs) But I still don’t like my face.

Interviewer: Hmmm, then I guess you’re the enemy of all the not-so-pretty women out there then. I mean, you’re bound to have someone call you ugly no matter how cute or pretty you are. I bet you never experienced that.
Ran: Well, I did hear "your gut is sticking out" quite a few times (laughs).

Interviewer: Well, you’d have to be pretty picky to notice that. I like it looks quite nice, sexy actually. Well anyway, I doubt you’re going to get my complaints about your looks.
Ran: Hmm, really? Oh my.

Interviewer: What do you mean, "Oh my" ? I bet you were really popular back in school.
Ran: (surprised) What! I wasn’t popular at all. I did track during school so I had my hair cut short, my body was tanned, and I was alsoa about 10kg heavier.

Interviewer: I see…well, there are a lot of pretty people out there that don’t seem to be aware of that fact. The first time I saw you on screen was by one of those tapes by Dream Chat and I still remember being totally taken in when you came on. That’s when I became a huge fan of yours…and why you’re here right now.
Ran: Why thank you! (shakes hand) My pussy is very thankful for you support (laughs).

Interviewer: (laughs). Did you like to have sex before you started this work?
Ran: That’s a secret (laughs). Well, I just like to have sex.

Interviewer: I figured as much. I mean, that’s the feeling I get when I watch your stuff. I noticed that there’s a lot of thrusting scenes in your films. How do you feel about them?
Ran: Well, you know how it’s the guy that’s fucking me that’s holding the camera, right? We have to stop whenever they have to change the angle so it’s pretty annoying.

Interviewer: It lowers the tension?
Ran: Yeah. I mean, it’s a cock inside my pussy so of course it feels good for me. So if they stop in the middle, my pussy starts feeling really cold. It’s crying "ram that big cock inside me" (laughs).

Interviewer: I see. So I guess the director get’s off since he’s doing whatever he feels like but I guess you don’t get much release.
Ran: Well, I am usually satisfied by the end.

Interviewer: …which would mean that you basically enjoy the sex you have on screen.
Ran: Well, it makes my pussy feel good (laughs). Uh, could I loosen my belt a bit?

Interviewer: Oooh! It’s Asakawa Ran’s stomach live! I’m so happy!
Ran: You’re weird (laughs).

Interviewer: And I know it. By the way, I see a lot of hardcore action when I see you but what about kissing?
Ran: I love to kiss, but I don’t know frenching that much.

Interviewer: Really? But you do it all the time on camera.
Ran: Well, that’s true but…it’s like sex. It depends on who I’m doing it with.

Interviewer: Like your boyfriend?
Ran: I don’t have one right now (lahghs). I don’t have much luck with men.

Interviewer: Really? How about me?
Ran: Let’s continue the interview.

Interviewer: Sheesh. Oh yeah, I was wondering about this for a long time, but I noticed you have no problems admitting that you do AVs in magazines and the like, but do the people around you know as well?
Ran: Pretty much everyone but my parents.

Interviewer: And you’re fine with that?
Ran: Oh, I’m perfectly fine with it. I think it’s normal. Actually, I more perplexed about people who do think hard about those things.

Interviewer: What? Are you serious…? Well, then what if your parents knew?
Ran: I don’t mind it too much. I mean, I’m an adult now and I chose this line of work due to my own free will. Of course, I know that they’ll be reall angry if they did find out, but I don’t think it would really affect me either way.

Interviewer: Oh, really? Wow. But I bet the people that do know point their fingers are you behind your back.
Ran: That’s true. There are people like that. Of course I’m against things like that, but I don’t really care if they don’t understand my position and actually, I’m just satified if the people I care about do understand. There’s no reason for people I’m not friends with to try to understand me.

Interviewer: Hmm, that sounds more like a foreign way of thinking than a Japanese one. Were you always like that?
Ran: Well, it was by the time I realized it myself (laughs). I mean, there are some common ways of thinking that I agree with but I think most of it is a load of bull. I don’t see why I need to follow other people advice on how I should lead my own life. So anyway, I don’t really care if other people find out that I’m doing AVs.

Interviewer: Then how was your impression of the AV industry before you entered it?
Ran: Well, I didn’t think I would be able to just strip on camera and have the dick of some guy I don’t know inside my pussy when I saw it. But after I did it I was like "Hey, this isn’t that hard after all" (laughs).

Interviewer: How’s it like to have sex in front of other people?
Ran: Embarrassing (laughs). It feels good but it’s still embarrassing. I think you’d notice this if you watch my tapes, but my eyes are always closed when I’m having sex. Of course, I feel even more embarrassed after it’s all finished.

Interviewer: You’re considered a popular AV star now, but how was it like when you started out?
Ran: Like I said before, Loricon style girls were in when I started out. I look pretty mature so there wasn’t too much work for me at first. I think I only did about 10 tapes the first 6 months combined. That’s how unpopular I was (laughs).

Interviewer: Were you always comfortable with having sex in front of the camera though?
Ran: Yeah. I mean, AVs are like that. I do remember suddenly crying after the first shooting I did though. I was wondering what I was doing to myself.

Interviewer: But you didn’t think about quitting.
Ran: That I didn’t. It wasn’t really a question of the work being hard on me.

Interviewer: So you started just banging guys afterwards.
Ran: Of course. I mean, I’m going to be fucked by them anyway, I might as well enjoy it. I get fucked pretty much everyday now (laughs).

Interviewer: Let’s move on to your private life. How old were you when you first hard sex and who did you do it with?
Ran: 19 at the love hotel. It was with a salary man I was going out with at the time.

Interviewer: Could you elaborate on what you did with him?
Ran: Well, we took seperate showers and then we got on the bed and started kissing. I wasn’t very hardcore back then (laughs). He then used both his hands to fondle my breasts and later sucked on them. Then his tongle slowly worked its way down my body until it finally reached my crotch. Then he spread my pussy lips and peered inside.

Interviewer: But wouldn’t the lights have been off by then?
Ran: Exactly. He actually got out a lighter to see inside me.

Interviewer: I see.
Ran: So in the dark… my pussy was the only thing that could be seen (laughs). He then licked my clit and pussy until it was nice and wet. Of course it was my first time so I was like "Ahhn, don’t lick when I go pee-pee" (laughs). He then slowly inserted a finger inside me to see how it was inside. After a while he slowly began to thrust inside with his fingers. Then I told him that I’ll get on top so then I got on him and started licking his nipples. I then touched his cock and I noticed that it was really getting hard. Of course, there’s only one reason a cock would get hard, right (laughs)? So that’s when I sucked a cock for the first time.

Interviewer: How was it like?
Ran: Well, the only thing that was on my mind at the time was a sex article from one of those women’s magazines that said "Be careful not to have your teetch touch your boyfriend’s penis when performing fellatio" (laughs). When I began to do it my boyfriend said "Careful not to get your teeth on it" so I realized how right that article was (laughs). So I basically sucked him off with my teeth covered under my lips.

Interviewer: So how did you feel afterwards?
Ran: Well, at first I had my doubts if sucking on the place where you piss could possibly feel good but he told me that he felt good, which made incredibly happy. But his cock was really big and my jaw began to hurt after awhile (laughs).

Interviewer: By the way, did you lick the thing that’s hanging under it?
Ran: Well, I didn’t know much about sex at the time so I knew that having your cock sucked could feel good but I didn’t know that it rang true for your balls as well. That’s why I didn’t suck his balls. Anyway, after I did it for a while he told me that he was ready to put it inside me so we ended up fucking missionary style afterwards.

Interviewer: How did it feel inside you?
Ran: It hurt a lot. He went easy on me at first because he knew that it was my first time but he eventually got caught up on how good his dick was feeling and he started just pumping away. It really hurt when he penetrated all the way inside me but I just closed my eyes and tried to hold in the pain.

Interviewer: How long did it take for you to start enjoying sex?
Ran: Around the 10th time we did it. My pussy wasn’t as tight and it actually started getting wet naturally so the dick started going in a lot easier. My G-spot is right near the womb so I always come when his dick would rub it. My clit also got sensitive enough to come even if he was just licking my clit. It’s all his fault that my pure body turned into a horny one (laughs).

Interviewer: So how many people have you had sex with in your private life?
Ran: Ummm, maybe about a 100? I don’t have a boyfriend right now though so much of the fucking I get now is from work.

Interviewer: What do you want to do from now on?
Ran: Well, I know I can’t do AVs forever, so I’ve been studying on my free time so that I can find work afterwards. The work has been getting a lot of fun though, so I want to continue on for at least another year.

Interviewer: What’s fun about being an AV actress?
Ran: Well, there’s a lot of things I do while doing AVs and the work is slightly different every day. I hate doing the same thing every day (laughs), but the work I do would change locations every time I do it and stuff like that. I even get to experience things that I can’t in a normal daily situation…like bondage (laughs). So it’s in a lot of fun in that sense.

Interviewer: Then how about things that you don’t like about being in the spotlight?
Ran: Well, the thing I hate the most are those people who just flatter me even if they’re thinking something that’s completely opposite. Oh, that and other girls on the set.

Interviewer: They annoy you?
Ran: No, it’s not about me liking them or not. It’s just that I only have interest in men when I have any sexual contact, so I feel uncomfortable if there’s a girl on the set even if she’s not doing anything.

Interviewer: Then would you do a lesbian scene with you two lick each other’s pussy?
Ran: Ahhh!! No way! Pass! I don’t even want to think about it.

Interviewer: Hearing that makes me want to see you do it even more.
Ran: It’s not happening.

Interviewer: Finally, what would you do if you had to fuck me for work?
Ran: Well, if it was for work I would do it with you.

Interviewer: The "if it’s for work" get’s to me, but I’ll make sure to buy more videos of yours from now on!
Ran: Now go back home (laughs).

昨天晚上突然听谁说了一句：武藤兰死了，自杀……
没来得及细问。
在网上查，没查到相关消息——估计就算是真的，也没什么大陆媒体会拿这事儿当新闻爆出来。
但是，看到百度的相关关键字里，有人搜过“武藤兰死了”和“武藤兰自杀”。

谁知道这事儿的具体情况？是真是假？到底怎么回事儿？
我虽不曾痴迷于武藤兰，但对此事万分关心。盼复。

〈论国产电影与抽水马桶之关系〉
文/东东枪

前几天参加了一个关于电影的沙龙，听一位电影导演聊天，其中有人提起存在了很多年的关于一些导演只会拍中国人的穷苦生活和阴暗面给外国人看的论点。这让我想起林语堂当年在一篇文章里说过的一个事儿，说在当时的上海一位穷苦老人走在街头，一个外国记者举起相机要给老人拍照，后边一位穿西装的年轻男子一把擒住外国人的肩膀，板着小脸对他讲：You are not friend of China。林语堂说，那年轻人实在不明白，他自己才是not friend of China。那穷苦老人不是中国的耻辱，以穷苦老人为中国的耻辱的中国人才是中国的耻辱。林语堂其实多次提到过类似的意思，比如，他还说，文明不文明幸福不幸福实在不应是看生活设备高级与否来决定的。有人以抽水马桶的普及率来断定一个国家是否文明是否幸福，纯属胡闹——坐着拉屎的怎么就一定就比蹲着的高级呢？

意思是这么个意思，但人家说的生动，总结的也更简洁。我虽然复述不上来，但我觉得没错——自惭形秽是没必要的，避而不谈也是没必要的。穷，或者穷过；傻，或者傻过，都不是什么丢人的事儿。谁没干过点傻事儿啊。真正丢人的是穷横，是傻乐，是臭美。

林语堂当时其实多少是有些给自己的书作辩护。当时他的那本《吾国吾民》在美国卖得好，国内就有人起哄，首先是把这本书名篡改成《误国误民》，后来又有英文水平高些的，把《My country and my people》译成《卖国卖民》。依我看这事儿挺没意思的，那书写除了后边几章宣传抗战之外，大部分内容都无关当时的主旋律，但却也没那么无聊。

我想，批评林语堂的人和持以上论调批评中国电影的人可能都是犯了同一个错误：低估人家智商了。低估了创作者的智商，也低估了观众的智商，不管是中国的还是外国的。

王小波写过一篇杂文，好像是从电影的分级制度谈到小说里的性描写，说即使我们知道性描写对于可能看到这个东西的小孩子是不好的，也该采取些不让小孩子看到之类的措施，而不能因此去掉所有性描写。因为我们不能把小孩子的审美水准当作我们的评判标准，更不能因此强行使我们所有的艺术水准都降低到孩子可以接受的水平。艺术只能追求最高标准而不能迁就最低标准。把这个道理返回来再用到电影上，我觉得完全说得通。

我得说，我并不是真就觉得所有以中国人所面临的困境或曾经经历过的困境为题材的电影就都有多么好，多么顶尖，多么邪乎。我虽没资格评判那些电影是好是坏，但也能看出有些是杰作，有些是垃圾。尽管如此，我还是不喜欢有人往这样的电影上扣这样的帽子，因为这显得我们既很不相信别人的审美能力又很不相信自己的表达能力，同时，也仿佛我们还和当年的一些中国人一样，因为自家没有抽水马桶而深深自卑着呢。 

注：又偷懒了。去年的一篇blog改的。

困扰我十余年的科学难题今日总算好歹有了个答案——

说困扰我十余年毫不夸张，这个问题看来简单，但你稍微仔细想想，挺复杂的。哪怕是对于还有些物理常识，甚至大学物理专业里走出来的家伙，也往往会一头雾水。它曾难倒过我中学期间的多位物理教师以及我的众多热爱科学的朋友，我还曾为此和一个中科院的博导在火车卧铺里云山雾罩地聊了多半夜。无数个无眠的深夜里，我想起这个萦绕我心间十余年的科学难题，就深深地感觉到肩上的担子还很重，也不由得为人类和世界的命运而深深忧虑……

深深感谢为寻找答案付出辛勤努力的六里庄村民，某大学物理系毕业生，我的同事，郭不动。您就是我的苦海明灯，您就是我的慈航普渡~

我做的。选了50几首歌，几十张图片。自己写了几千字的文案。

去听听吧。歌儿都不错。非常不错。有一些是我一直挂在嘴边、藏在心底的，比如郑智化的《阿飞和他的那个女人》。还有好多是我自己都很多年没听过了，比如王志文、葛优的那两首。

石老师看了，跟我说，你选的都不是代表作啊？我说，是啊。
他说，换我我也这么干。

那些文案其实写得很有些肉麻。请大家原谅吧，因为一提到这些名字，我就老忍不住肉麻。
我曾经给一篇blog取名叫：总有一种肉让我们不麻不行。今天再用一次。
