i seem to be making this a weekly affair..........is that bad....or good?? does it really matter?? and why is it important to come to a decision and conclusion about everything?? from colouring your hair to world peace?
the week actually zipped by pretty fast....and i am neutral about that....i've had all the time in the world to read blogs i found these past few weeks and am in danger of getting addicted to.....i also have been murderously stalking a few flickr id's because of the fabulous pictures they contain.....
chatting nonstop with a friend....actually someone who i admired from a distance, and can now call a close friend....over the last few days we have shared so much....her's is company that i enjoy....and we've discovered such similarities of taste....is'nt it funny what this internet does to you?? makes you friends with people you'd never have met, but are thankful to have.....
we've had friends staying over this weekend too...and a load of cooking has happened....but all that is the blah bit....and i am not about to chase away the few readers of this blog by going into the details!!
i've been trying to organise a few things and get some work done....things which have been long overdue....and all this has made me wonder...what's wrong with just allowing things to be the way they are? i dont know....i think there is an inertia happening now that i cant seem to shrug off...
i've had a movie overload....or let me rephrase that as "bad movie overload" .........Race during the week...last minute plan with friends....i cant make up my mind...i think i didnt mind it...but it wasnt anything...and i mean ANYTHING at all to write home about....anil kapoor made me sick...all those double entendre dialogues are so unbecoming of him.....and pray why in hell's name does he need to do films like this?? and sameera reddy....girl after all that heavy duty name calling you did in a film rag a few months ago....is this all you have to show ( i mean she did some ample showing....) you looked every bit the silly bimbette you were supposed to be....and whatever happened to that twist in your character you were carping about?? i guess it got edited out....and if not anything else, please get a new stylist and a hair dresser....there were scenes in which you had some strands of hair in all directions of 360 degrees!!
katrina...the lesser dialogues the better ....she's lost a tonne of weight...or was it all padding?? i always remembered all her pictures having her look very voluptuous till some backless things happened in race.....
akshaye...he has the best role .....and most of the punchlines....i feel sad that he has to wear a wig...whats wrong with looking like a man with a normally thinning hairline?? looks like a rodent though....really thick neck and pinched face...and he has put on weight or muscle?? i couldnt make out...
saif.....i dont know why he did this movie.....other than wanting to consolidate his position as resident stud....he looks like an ageing stud though.....and looks like, any moment now he will mouth "the name's bond....james bond"....
bipasha....looks scarily bad in some scenes...wears like some weird watch like bunty had in bunty aur babli.....but she has a substantial role....
what i couldnt understand, is why the movie was called race.....because other than one at the beginning and one in the end....it isnt there....and how come everyone from the cop, his assistant, the registrar of marriages and everyone else in South Africa speak in hindi? or i shouldnt be asking such logical questions about hindi movies??
its ok to watch on TV when you have nothing else to do....and on the screen if someone else is paying for the tickets.....
the other one we saw, was the latest Pavan Kalyan Starrer called Jalsa.....again i dont understand why it was called that.....and i didnt like it one bit....too much violence and loads of "masala" elements...needless songs and so much flesh show (parvati melton) that it amazed me.....especially after the stories i have heard from reliable sources about how these women are treated....i cant understand the lure of money and fame...for them to want to do all this.....through the movie i indulged in my favourite pastime of trying to spot where the scenes were shot....infact it went on and on so much that i asked K whether there would be an intermission in the damn movie......towards the intermission though, i thought the twist in the tale (pavan is an ex naxalite) would take the movie to another level...and it did...plummeting down.....they made a caricature of the whole thing and within about 5 minutes of telling the audience that he becomes a naxalite....he surrenders and joins mainstream pretty comfortably.....
there is so much violence that it made me want to throw up...what i am appalled about, is how the censors can pass such scenes.....someone has made a lot of dough for sure.....hammers, axes and swords are used with ease, to crush, cut and chop any body part..........it was disgusting.....all i could manage was to cover my eyes, because i couldnt believe i would actually gratify those scenes by watching them.....by the end of the movie, i had a glorious headache and i think the director after going all over the place, wanted to just wind it all up and give it some closure......oh and as for the heroine...illeana...she's a pretty thing....but cant act to save her life....the only thing i liked in the movie...was the way her house was done up and was trying to spot elements that i will like.....
but again....there are very few movies which meet my expectations.....and considering this movie is doing pretty well....i guess i dont agree with most people who are obviously enjoying it.
