Little Jonny

"Daddy, Daddy, I want to weat a soo" Little Jonny said.
"A what?"
"A soo" and points at a leather emporium.

The father was caught completely by surprise.
What should I do?

"Listen to me Jonny, shoes are meant to be worn in your leg. Shoes are dirty, nobody eats them, they are not meant to be eaten"
"I know that. I won't want to weat a wold dowty soo. I want to weat a new shiny soo."

Ok, this isn't going to be easy.
After 10 minutes, the father gives up and takes Jonny inside the shop.

He tries to explain the situation "Yes, see my son has a strange idea that he wants to eat a shoe. Can you just sell me a shoe so that I can shut him up."
"I am sorry Sir but I am not at liberty to sell a single shoe. I suggest that you buy a pair, may be your son can eat both of them"

"I am not weating choo soos, thats stoopid"

A Lie

I am swimming in my own despair
tearing
spiraling
My whole existence is a lie
the beginning of the end
Trent's words illuminate my soul
the rush of the razor is the sweetest pain
Nobody raises their eyes to heaven, no, not one
screaming
one day i will have what I want
everything and everyone is below me
endless bleak night

Movies of 2008

Twitter is a blog killer, this is a desperate semi-desperate attempt to salvage what's left. So, here I am; with my personal views on some of the 2008 hollywood movies worth mentioning.

As for Hollywood '08, I can remember only one thing : The oscars blew. Here is a list of little known movies which weren't good enough for the oscars.

Be kind rewind: This is yet another Jack Black goodness. The movie has its flaws, but still a must watch for any 80's and 90's movie buff.

Burn After Reading: After 'No Country for Old Men', the Coens were hailed as one of the best movie makers of their times. This is them saying "No no, we're just goof balls". This is definitely the goofiest movie you'll see this year.

Chaos Thoery: Yeah I know, its just another hollywood crap. But it is just fresh enough to make it to the list. It's a journey of a guy from Mr.Timetable to Mr.Chaos to Mr.Just another guy in just another happy ending in just another typical hollywood movie.. whatever

Choke: Crazy movie about a sex-addict seeking redemption; in other words, its a Sam Rockwell movie.

City of Men: What's a good science fiction made of.. special effects? space travel? robots? futuristic sets?
Wrong.
You want the answer? Watch this movie.

Definitely, Maybe: It's just another romantic movie with some fresh ideas. Was I stoned when I made this list? Definitely, Maybe.

Ghost Town: Watch for Ricky Gervais's comic timing. This movie's got some of the wittiest one liners of 2008.

Gran Torino: One word - Clint Eastwood.

Happy go Lucky: Are you feeling down? Watch this movie.
Message for bollywood: This is what you mean by a feel good movie, stop making shit!

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People: Hilarious movie, Simon Pegg at his best, and it's got Megan Fox. I rest my case.

In Bruges: Beautifully made movie; slow at times but leaves you immensely satisfied in the end.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Didn't watch.
Yeah, I know, I'm a lucky bugger.

My Blueberry Nights: The first half an hour is pure 'Kar Wai' magic. From there, it's a bit of a slump but worth a watch none the less.

Pineapple Express: If you've ever used the phrase 'Owww shiiit duuude', you've gottt to watch this :)

Slumdog Millionare: Yeah, you wish.
Now that I've mentioned, the part with the young actors isn't half as bad.

Speed Racer: Cliche, cheesy, campy and awesome fun :D . Watch out for the races.. Epic! "Go speed racer....."

Step up 2 The Streets: Feel the beat, watch the moves, forget the rest.

The Day the Earth Stood Still: This is a must "don't watch", watch the classic instead.

The Forbidden Kingdom: It's Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Yo.

The Wackness: What is life? Yup, thats the answer. It's an honest movie which'll leave you with a smile. No happy endings here.

The Wrestler: It's Mickey Rourke on steroids. No, seriously, I mean steroids, literally.
It's about the journey of an aging wrestler, it's got the touch rarely seen

Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Scarlett Johansson + Penelope Cruz + Woody Allen's magic. I promise, you won't look away from the screen even for a second.

Picture this

Notes .. (1)

1. Always keep your eyes open damnit
2. Sleeping for 18 hrs can have repercussions
3. Listening to a song for about 20 times straight changes nothing, Kurt Cobain is God and Metallica are still a bunch of douchebags
4. First viewing under influence is not a good idea (reconfirmed)
5. Preconceived notions are mostly baseless, I don't hate chocolates as much
6. Nothing beats Comfortably Numb

Old man says

All problems have solutions but all questions don't have answers for our mind seeks more than mere truth

Comfortably Numb

A Voice Said
"Let there be music",
And there was music.

sweeet..

MasterTard

Bacardi Rum - 490 Rs
Cool Drinks - 90 Rs
Snacks - 140 Rs
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition) - ?? Rs

Not being able to finish either LOTR or the rum in one sitting - Shameful :'(

The Dark Knight Returns

Knock knock Nolan.

Bollywood actors say the funniest things

I'd love to play Ledger's role in Batman: Bipasha Basu
- Yeah, right!

What matters is that people should say, ‘Wow! We loved Deepika’s performance in the film’: Deepika Padukone
- She had to say performance.. sigh!

I'll produce a film and it's not really a period film. It would be a period film, but it won't feel like one: Saif Ali Khan
- hmm

94% Likely

Every time I shave my mustache, my masculinity keeps smacking my head - repeatedly.
Today finally I found something to feed him, it's a site which predicts your gender likeliness.
Here is the result:
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 6%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 94%

Obviously the result was very satisfying. It's like feeding alcohol to a monkey(manganige henda kudisida haage) :)

Update: The above stats is at office and shouldn't count at all since most of my browsing is at home. The result at my home pc was nothing but shocking; and trust me, there is no foul play involved.

for real! :o

Batman revisited

Batman in his prime.

As Oscar Wilde would say
"He can't fly, he can't shoot lasers, he can't even suck blood like a bat, but he sure does look good in tights..."

(courtesy uncyclopedia)

The Dark Knight

Best comic book movie ever.....Legendary Joker performance.....Stunning cinematography.....blah, blah, blah
.....
All the hype aside, you can never deny that it was an extremely well made movie and there are a few moments I can never forget.
- the pencil trick, who would've thought.
- batpod coming out of the tumbler. Sitting there all I could think was, why the fuck didn't I think of it. There is the tumbler and there is the batpod, it should've been as easy as adding 1 + 1.
- everything with the batpod, its bloody genius.
- joker burning the money. It looked majestic, why didn't anyone think of it before this.
- batman beating up joker. This is the 'de ja vu' moment for all batman fans .

Inspite of the movie being so complex, not only everything fits in together but fits in so well that in the end you have a beautiful masterpiece. Hats off Nolan.

P.S: Somehow I couldn't avoid feeling that the entire movie looked like a sick joke by the Joker with every other character as a pawn in his twisted plan.

w00t!

There is good news and there is great news; and sometimes there are two great news in the same freakin page!

















as I said, w00t! :D

What more can you ask for?

What do I think about the promo
- it looks insane
- it looks stupid
In total, it looks insanely stupid; but then what isn't. Plus - its got Angelina Jolie in it, what more can u ask for :)

The parkour price

Heard 'bout parkour?
Heres what it looks like.

I know what you're thinking, 'Casino Royale' rite?

I tried something like that and twist my ankle. Well, it was sort of closer to this.
It was like a Saturday Night Live for my roommates, I was left neither comfortable nor numb :(

Its been four days and I'm still recovering :(
I may be down but I'm not done.
Expect us.. err, me.

Thoughtful Abortion Debate

"Anyone who references Dune should be aborted"
Now, please tell me thats not hilarious. Why the eff didn't I like the movie?? I even remember saying "Holyshit! its rated 8 in imdb".
Goes to prove my hypothesis - Never go for a first view when you're comfortably numb.

More of the fat kid in Superbad.

Minesweeper

"Don't you ever forget why you're here soldier" :D

This is nominated for ECNY award for Best Short Comedic Film, I sure do hope it wins.
