Those who can do it, make movies

Those who cannot do it, teach (not lucky or waiting for a big break)

Those who cannot do both... drum rolls please ...write reviews

Especially when it comes to comic book movies where a legendary character transits from 60 to 100 years of character building through comics. All of that will be smitten like swatting a fly by the reviewer who failed to make research before his/her review who will get paid no matter what. (EVEN AFTER RESEARCH, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE FOR THEM TO LINK WITH THE CHARACTER OR FILM)

DC Universe - Everything you know will change!

2011-06-02T20:38:00.000-07:00

No worries!

this is not like the ultimate universe not an earth 52 event or an elseworld event

THIS IS THEE MOST EXCITING THING TO HAPPEN in the history of American comics

Entirely new DC Universe!

With the economy digging graves for everyone else (except for itself, as we know the guys of economy are having funds and fun)

Comic book shops everywhere are shutting down. This event will improve comic sales and comic interest even in the generation that "lives for the moment (not the 'real live for the moment' if you know what I mean) and thinks dubstep is the only form of music (england) or say "that beat is sick" (when it is not a drum beat but a tune played on a piano).

Downloads for money will happen with all of those sweet handy devices like Ipad, Iphone, Kindle, etc etc.

Also there will be buzz at the comic stores all over.

Marvel tries to attract new readers after every 6 or 12 issues these days. For example, Daken 9.1, X-Force 5.1 (issues in between the ending and beginning of new story lines). It may not be confusing for people like us who have followed comics for a long time now. But others suffer a lot. End up buying something they didn't need to.

This New DC Universe. Traces were seen in the beginning of some DC issues some time ago. Flashpoint has begun and if you have not begun reading I kindly request you to start reading from Flash #9 and join in with the Flashpoint storyline. It is really exciting. Give it a chance and you'll see what's happening and what is about to happen is even MORE FUN!

This is like the J-Art revolution. The reign of the Japanese Superflat in Japan and all over the world. Finally the American comics will not just give entertainment but will try and make lives better (just like Japan).

Japan gets flooded and earthquaked big time
and people hack PLAYSTATION NETWORK?
Either these CRIMINAL IDIOTS have no common sense, general knowledge or it was a planned attack by some company that couldn't defeat the might of SONY or produce half the games that SONY had published. Now all the smart fags will act smart by pointing this out as the company's downfall or failure. I'll point out this, as HUMANS the people who did this are not human. This is a big failure being HUMAN. They dont deserve to live. Whoever did this, stealing other people's money, put SONY and playstation in peril. I hope you get Alzheimers and die a thousand deaths. If you want to steal money go steal the money that the politicians owe you. Not some private company that tries it's best to entertain people Artistically. This is being human FAIL. Shame on the humans who did this. F* you! Now I hope that the world ends in 2012 and hope the ones who did this get hit first! F* you!

KAPOW! Comic Con coverage Part 2

2011-04-11T19:09:00.000-07:00

Man if it was 3 years ago I would've cried like a little girl and would've given up easily. Those people who got me in. I owe them. I owe them BIG TIME!

DAY 1 - Saturday 9th April 2011

So I didn't waste anymore time as I had entered the con between 1 or 2 pm, the first person I was about to meet, I had brought 4 issues with me. My Dark X-men was back home tsk. Reasonable que and then PAUL CORNELL! He had a beard hahahahah. What a guy! What a guy! I complimented and thanked him so much and he admitted that he enjoyed the action comics series and we spoke for about 3 minutes. He signed my stuff and I told him someday I wanted to work with him. For which he replied, "If you think I'm good enough then yes!" Then, he stood up, got out of the desk and took a pic with me. At the end of our conversation he also knew that I loved the New Gods/Darkseid! So he wrote something special on the annual issue!

Now I didn't know if I would make it to the convention till 11 am when I made the first phone call to the wonderful people who helped me get in. At this point, I couldn't believe that I got in and just met Paul Cornell and commuting with the fellow crazies or 'true believers' (as a certain cameo-future-oscar-winner would call us). I had to believe! Without wasting any more time I ran to the JR.jr que. It was like the whole of India were on que. It seems pointless and then I saw the Mark Millar que, it was like the whole of China was there. Can't blame the fans, you know. Should not blame the fans and must not say things such as, "What do they know about JR.jr or Mark Millar." If they weren't real fans, they wouldn't be here after spending 25 pounds on the weekend ticket. Speaking of weekend ticket, long ago I had plans for just one day out of the two. To think about it, how wrong I was. One day? At Kapow Con? No no... SOLD OUT Kapow Con! Who am I kidding. So I ran away to get some food as I had not eaten anything since the previous night. Yes, 'cause I was worried if I was going to make it or not. I ran to the restaurant to get a sandwich, crisp packet and a drink. Remember to pack yer own food when you come down to a convention. The prices are just absurd. I think it goes up when they see a sold out crowd and expect us to dish out a lot of cash, can't blame them either. Put them in my bag and run again to the Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill que. I've met these Gods before. But I had a different plan this time 'round. I wanted them to sign a sketch that was done by me. I had already begun sketching at the train station while I was waiting for the train, but it came too soon and I had only finished the outlines and half of the details. I did manage to finish the sketch moments before I ran to buy the sandwich, crisps and drink. If you've seen my youtube channel already or if yer going to. You would've or will see a video clip of Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill (back shot), shot from the first floor (that was moments before I continued to work on my sketch). Sitting there and drawing gave me a good feeling. The aura of all of the heroes and the cheerful spirit of fellow fans must've helped me finish the sketch as quickly as possible. I tried not to think how it would feel if I was there at Kapow someday, signing books for fans and pose with them for pictures. But I couldn't help it. Heh. The thought invaded my mind until I finished the sketch. After the sketch, I bought food (remember to pack yer own) and caught up with the Pat and Kevin que.

Unexpectedly, I spotted Simon Webb. The story of Simon Webb and myself, how we first met and how we became friends on facebook is a bit funny and ... creepy? Not sure. Well I took a picture of a cosplayer dressed as Shaun from Shaun of the dead one year ago at the London Film and Comic Con. After I uploaded that picture on facebook, I saw a suggestion on the right side of the window and it had a similar looking face on the profile pic. It said Simon Webb, so I sent him a friend request after checking out his info page (similar interests, to a level). He accepted the friend request and he even joined The Great Rebellion (one of the fan club pages that keeps me active on facebook, great page!). I had even sent him (Simon) a message couple nights ago asking if he had extra tickets for the convention after I saw his status update asking if any of us were going to Kapow tomorrow (i.e. on Saturday). So we met at Kapow and wasn't expecting to see him when I did. He looked a bit creeped out at first, but I assured him that it was coincidence and that I'm not a creep! Ha! So we spoke about all things comic book for the next forty minutes while on que. Even despised the JR.jr and Millarworld ques. He wanted to meet JR.jr and I wanted to meet Millarworld and JR.jr. We couldn't get to meet them on Saturday. Finally I met up with Pat Mills, told him that I had met him at the University Convention last year for which he said that he had enjoyed it. He saw my sketch and asked me if I had done it and I proudly admitted that I did. He asked me if I was a big Nemesis fan and once again I almost screamed the rebellious cry! But controlled myself and answered politely, heh. He asked me what did I want him to do with the sketch, I requested him to write CREDO! along with his signature and he did just that. Right next him to him was Kevin O'Neill. He remembered the university convention as well and signed my League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen book which I had bought from Landmark in Madras. He looked at my sketch and appreciated it by writing it and wished me well on the sketch itself. It was a good day, not as productive as I wanted it to be. Even though I officially met 3 creators. I saw JR.jr (was standing behind his chair while I was on the que for Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill) but didn't meet him. I saw Mark Millar but didn't meet him either :-{
I saw Peter Hogan (it was sad to see that man with no que and the only book I had was in India. I tried looking for it at the stalls because I wanted to make him feel better by getting it signed by him, he is a legend and was once a proper working comic creator and editor too. None of them had his book and I almost quit the Kevin O'Neill/Pat Mills que to go talk to him. Suddenly this dude showed up and asked him if he was THEEEE Peter Hogan, then the dude asked him to wait and pulled a chair from a near by booth and started this long conversation with Peter Hogan. It was nice to see a good soul! Nice to see Peter Hogan happy. We ran to the first ever STAN LEE awards! Boy that was good fun!
Stan the man sent us special video message(s)* (check my youtube channel, I have them in there). The presentation was funny and great. Plus the winners were fairly chosen. (Check my album and youtube channel). The Guinness Book of Records made a presentation after the Stan Lee awards. You can check this link out for information on who won for what:
Guinness-World-Records-at-Kapow-Comic-Con
Finally, we had to choose between 25 minutes of THOR movie preview or meet the cast and hear what they had to say about the movie, their roles etc. We made up our minds and went to the IGN stage set up and saw THOR and LOKI in person. We were going to see the movie one day so we chose to see them in real life instead. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. They looked perfect! It was great of them show up and I had managed to record clips. Make sure to check my youtube channel for videos.
With that, the 1st day had come to an end. All the ques were blocked by the security. Simon and I went around for a bit searching for good deals on books or figures. But there wasn't much time, plus they were chasing out the fans as they wanted to play by the rules.
And as Simon and I were standing out in the entrance (after we were formally wished a good evening and chased out heh) I was recording the big Green Lantern poster. I saw Peter Hogan walk towards the station with his big coat and cane, with a smile on his face. That made me feel good too! I did not remember seeing him on the confirmed guest list or I would've made arrangements to meet him. However it was nice to see an under appreciated legend walk with a smile. Simon and I headed to the nearest burger king, he was not hungry but I was. We sat down and exchanged books to see which ones the each of us got signed and the ones that we didn't get signed. All good fun, we left after I finished my meal, he came down to the station with me and said he will send a text message as soon as he reached the convention tomorrow (Sunday, the second and final day at Kapow Con). We planned on arriving as early as possible after we checked up with the timetables and schedules. To try and meet with as much guests as we could.

DAY 2 - Sunday 10th April 2011

At around quarter to 11am I got in! I had to buy coffee for the people who helped me get in. So I went straight to the restaurant bought coffee and gave it to them. Who were these people? You'll know soon. I ran to the Kieron Gillen que, very good man. Around this time, Simon Webb sent me a text saying that he was going to try to catch the JR.jr que. I was able to meet Kieron Gillen soon because I was number 10 in the que I think. Had to compliment him a lot, for his work on THOR was and will always be considered as something I enjoyed and still enjoy (as I carry one particular issue with me) and I told him all of it and got that issue signed. He even drew a mini mjolnir on my issue. Hope I get to draw for him someday. As his writing when combined with art is visual poetry! (And I managed to tell him all of that). He also told me that he was working with Duncan on a Loki story. As soon as I was done with that, I ran around looking for the next creator to get my book signed. Noticed that I had missed Sean Phillips by just moments away. So I found his sketching booth and stood on the line. Had to stand there for an hour as people were asking him to draw stuff for him. It was boring to stand in the que when all I wanted was just a signature and a pic. But when I found a gap to see him draw. The master at work. Damn! The lines just came out of no where and then the water colours to compliment. People were paying hell of money for each sketch and it was all worth it! Standing there and watching him draw and paint, was not boring at all! It was like a master class! Finally, 2 fans who were in front of me agreed to let me get my book signed before they asked him for a sketch and even Sean Phillips himself asked the people who wanted to get their books signed come forward. CHANCE! Dashed forward, got the book signed and took a pic with the master of light and shade! Not much conversation there, but a firm handshake and a set of thank yous and see you again were shared. Good man, Sean Phillips. Wish I had the older books like DD or Criminal. From there, I ran to the Olivier Coipel signing table. Too bad there was no que as his time was done it seems. But he was there and the staff told me that he was doing an interview. I had to wait, until his interview was done. And waited and waited and waited even more. A couple of French VIP punks showed up and began chatting him up followed by another press guy. Then I caught him, requested for him to sign my book and had to take a pic of us by myself. He was leaving the building but he was very calm and friendly. Olivier Coipel, good artist and good man! Hope I don't get to take a pic by myself when I meet Gail Simone ;- ]

So far so good, today has been more productive than I had dreamed of. Already met 3 creators. And there was still 3 or 4 hours left. So I ran to the Leinil Yu's que. All three of them, Dave Gibbons, Leinil Yu and Frank Quitely came down half hour later than the scheduled time. It must've gotten late for them at the 300 pounds charity lunch heh. No problem 'cause I finished my bacon-potato salad while I was waiting in the que. I'm glad I came early to the que, 'cause it grew pretty large, further down on Leinil Yu's que. So I finally met him. One of the two artists who brought back the lost interest in comics for me. Leinil Yu! Great to have met him. Good conversation as I was early in the que so no hurries. We talked about meeting again, we spoke about Paris and just like Kieron Gillen he wanted to see my art too. Hopefully he will in the near future. We spoke about my favourite page and panel from my favourite BIRTHRIGHT issue. And the man knew exactly which one I was talking about. Because this panel had made me cry. This panel had angry justice! I wish I had brought my entire Gotham Published BIRTHRIGHT DC comics* and got them signed. (These American comics were reprinted in a smaller format in India under Gotham Publications, about 10 years ago.) Also got my Superior issues signed! I can't stop saying it, it was truly great to meet Leinil Yu. If I have to be biased, then here it is. It was truly a highlight! Then I saw Doug Braithwaite! Talk about highlight, man this guy is one of my favourite artists. And his covers and internal art of the JL and Wolverine and Wolverine & Daken and I could just go on. One of them artists whose work on internal and covers were of equal awesomeness. Doug Braithwaite! I didn't have any cash on me to buy a couple issues just to get them signed. Damn the cash machines, they need to have a repair guy or bank guys repairing and filling the machine with cash during a busy convention day. Whatever I had of his, I had just taken them back to India when I went down for a great occasion during summer. But he was kind enough to strike a pose with me. And that was great! I ran to the Frank Quitely que. And as soon as I had reached, more people joined in. Then a security guard came by and told me that they cannot guarantee a meet up with the artist. As he had a flight to catch and they had asked everyone to limit it to 2 items per person (to get signed). I had 3 issues of ALL STAR SUPES. My other FQ titles like Missionary Man, WE3, etc etc were all back home in India. Tsk. It is hard to travel with these books, so I just brought in what I had to get them signed. Security showed up yet again and said that the guy before me was going to be the last lucky fan to get his book signed. I did not lose my cool. I am nice guy you know heh, so I was calm and I waited eagerly and quite frankly was not angry. 'Cause I MADE IT! Frank changed asked the security to go away hahahah and continued to sign for fans. I met him and he is just awesome! I have heard that he has mood swings, etc etc. But he was very kind to me and I was just so lucky to meet him regardless of the mood swings. See I just love Frank Quitely. He is one of a kind artists. With all his underground comic art culture and his unique idea of producing art for a comic book, I totally look up to him. He is quite frankly one of the greatest artists I have ever known. He signed both of my issues and even posed for a quick pic, where I almost (wanted to) kiss(ed) him on the cheek. He is just too much! Good quick conversation and good hanshake. The pic was taken by a staff member whom I was chatting up earlier, she definitely couldn't have wanted to chat with me any further after the way she smiled when she was done with the camera. She must've thought that "I liked dudes." And I was off to the Dave Gibbons que. I had already met mr. Gibbons twice. First at the University Convention and then when he came by to the comic book store (casual meet). I saw a guy in a suit in the que. Then he told me that he was standing there to block the que. It was a security guy! I was not lucky enough. I wanted Mr.Gibbons to sign my Mint On Card Ozymandias action figure! I just stood there to find a chance, but nope. Some other VIP punks continued to chat and flushed any available chance. The JR.jr que was blocked. No sign of Mark Millar either. The que for both these men when they were sitting together, went up to two full floors of people. Basement and the ground floor. Everybody was allowed only 1 item to get signed and I had this empty feeling because I couldn't see them. I WANTED TO SEE MARK MILLAR AND JOHN ROMITA.JR! Remember how I said, I would've cried? I managed to control my tear ducts. I didn't cry but I felt empty. I felt that I was not done. Was not ready to leave the convention. Was not ready to go home without meeting these two. I had 10 issues of their work together (more back home). Wolverine, Ultimates, you name it and I had it in my bag. Separate work too! Mark Millar Terry Dodson Spiderman! And many many more. John Romita.Jr - DD, Punisher&Batman, etc etc! Half of my backpack had their stuff. Even Kick ASS! Tsk. I saw Danny McBride (right now from Your Highness) at the IGN set up. Simon and I went around looking for good deals on books and action figures. Managed to get two figures. Mattel Subscription exclusive BOOYAH! DC Variant cover and Neca Gears of War figure, my brother would be happy, also a certain someone who almost ruined my childhood would be happy too, heh.

I was not going to miss this convention for anything. Instead of giving up I tried whatever way I can to get in and I got in. Yes it took a lot out of me, lot of energy lost and loads of stress built up. But hell yes! It was worth it. I was here not just for myself. I was here on behalf of my buddies. The good friends, who know, recognize, appreciate and contribute to the industry. You know who you are. And I wouldn't have missed this for the world! But sadly, I couldn't meet Mark Millar or John Romita.Jr. I had great plans, even funny plans. But it just wasn't going to happen. Time was up and Simon was outside already. I had to help these people. The people who helped me get in. They were LIMITED EDITION COMIX. I had to help them pack up the load (of comics and figures). Had to make 3 or four trips down to the loading bay with all that load, after closing the boxes. And I did, managed to help them move the load and fill up the van. I had to help them, without them, I wouldn't have made it to the Kapow comic con. They asked me to stick with them long ago. But I thought why trouble them and relied on a certain scum to help me. Scum washed hand in the last minute and BOOM! I had to reach for their help! It was it's own kind of fun, helping them load all the comics and figures. Good times! Saw all the stall guys, audio guys, stage set up guys, independent promoters, loading all of their stuff too. Last load was the heaviest as the security informed us that the loading bay was closing down in 10 minutes. If we weren't gonna make it. Then we would've had to carry the boxes out the front door, through 2 staircases. That was LAME! So we did it! We finished it all up. At this point I had to choose 2 pathways. I was offered to go with them back to the comic store near the place I lived. The other was to meet Simon who was waiting outside for me and go home with the return ticket that I had bought already. CHOOSE! I chose to meet Simon as he had been waiting to meet me for about 45 minutes. Told them I will see them soon and left through the loading bay entrance of the convention. Walked around all the way to the main entrance. Simon was there in the Hilton Hotel Bar. Went to meet him, he bought beer for me. Italian beer ;-]
big serving and the taste was great. Very generous of him. We were on a table talking to a couple more people. After a while I recognized along with Simon that one of the people on our table was, Steve. Steve from SCI FI magazine. Well, now he is freelance writer but he used to be a genuine writer for SCI FI magazine. He was on our table, with us! Time was moving forward and I was growing sad. The fact that I couldn't meet Mark Millar and John Romita.jr alone put me down a great deal. I know I met a lot of my heroes, but when you go up to the JL Satellite Tower, you would want to meet all of them. Not just Superman or Green Lantern only. Everyone! Tsk. Our table was funny, the weather was alright. Suddenly I saw Kieron Gillen drinking on one corner talking to a couple of people, then David Hine and later Andy Diggle. All of them were chatting and drinking in the same area. I saw MARK MILLAR! Saw him leave the premises :-{
Steve the now freelance and former SCI FI mag writer shared drinks with us. Heh, who would've thought we would be drinking with him someday.

It was getting darker. Steve the former SCI FI mag writer, Chris (one of those irritating types), Emma (she worked on the event, knew Mark Millar, but I couldn't ask her to help me get a pic with Millarworld as he had left the area in a car) and Film/Comics PHD, Professor (he was cool). All of them had to leave. Simon and I moved to the table behind us. And little did we know, there was Nick Lowe and another good artist on the table. It was surprising to be sitting near them. There was also a shady figure on the other side, showing his portfolio to all of us. The work kept growing familiar on me. I had to make sure it, BE SURE! But it was too good to be true. Once again, I thought, "why would an artist like that be sitting on the otherside of our table and handing out portfolios?" I thought this must be some kind of joke. Because I just saw two MAJOR art works that I owned in that portfolio. I said, "Surely, these are Glenn-" I was cut off and the shady figure helped me finish the line. He leaned forward and I almost had an heart attack! "-Fabry, I'm Glenn Fabry." He said. I took a big swig off my glass. WHAT?! This cannot be true! It was Glenn Fabry! He was there on the same table talking to me and Simon. We are talking about one of the greatest artists ever. It was unbelievable to see him hand out his portfolios to us, talking to us!

REST OF THE EVENING AND HOW IT ENDED will be published in private, Picasa...

KAPOW! Comic Con coverage Part 1

2011-04-11T17:02:00.000-07:00

I didn't make it or Did I?

Okay.
"Cool story" begins here "bro".

Someone else said he will buy Kapow tickets for me
and flopped me up on friday morning. April 8th 2011. I didn't want to do anything with my life after he slipped that information. And the name of the scum is not worth mentioning.

And these tickets
were not available at door entry. Strictly for fans buy online print ticket and enter the con. I came back home (from university) to check if they had any tickets left but ALL SOLD OUT!

I even checked on ebay if anyone was selling it there I was ready to spend what i had saved for ps3 or hot toys kevin flynn, 178 pounds VIP ticket but that was sold out as well. Even the charity lunch ticket was sold out 300 pounds to have lunch with yer comic book aritsts writers etc. All sold out. I stayed awake till 3 am (fri night - sat morning) trying to figure out a way. I was also searching for Guns to kill myself. Seriously incase I didn't make it.

There was this bunch of people who invited me 3 months ago to whom i said, "NO! THIS DUDE IS GETTING ME A TICKET!" So i send them a message, a pathetic message. Like the one I sent to my ex girlfriend as soon as she said that it is useless as her father would not approve of our alliance. I fell asleep almost crying woke up Saturday morning 9 am on 9th April and continued my efforts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv66O1aGrjI&feature=related

As a last resort I simply called a store (which I thought would have been closed due to their stall at the convention). A great guy answered the call and gave me the number of the peoples who invited me 3 months ago. Called them directly, they were at the con already, told them what happened again, and he said "you just come here and i will send someone to take you in." Whoa indeed! I didn't know how it was going to work with tight security and all. But still I packed my comics (heh) and left to london kings cross and from there just one stop to the Angel tube station, went to the original entrance of the business design centre which had become the loading bay and was shut.

Found a dude packing his back pack, he smiled when i asked him the way. He also told me that marvel had just approved his portfolio. Yes he was all smiles. I congratulated and thanked him.
Then I found the entrance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibZJ0Yqh2Ng&feature=related

Imagined what it would be like and how the stalls were put in, the booths were arranged and how the stage was set up and how many of my favourite creators was I going to meet...

I made the second call he answered after long set of rings, sent one of the recognizers for me and then...

I got in.

Book Review - Nathan the Caveman by Ben Bishop

2011-02-27T23:17:00.000-08:00

Review

Book – Nathan the Caveman by Ben Bishop

I have read Nathan the Caveman three different times (when I was happy, when I was sad & angry and when I was tired). Just to make sure if it had the same effect no matter which way the moods swung. And fellow readers I must say it is a clear winner from my experiment. The story graphics is enjoyable. The way it is passionately written and drawn. This book has been carefully constructed and wonderfully designed, be it the placement of the word balloons or the panels itself. This book is surely one for the vaults and worth every penny you spend on it. One of my favourite characters was the dude. Nathan the Caveman is a great success in terms of graphic novel because it is completely driven by feeling! If you have still not read it, then now is the time to buy it as it is a great read and different from what we read regularly.

Wonder Woman = Preview ?!

2011-02-16T21:00:00.000-08:00

It took Tron Legacy, a friend's graphic novel, The great one's return and WONDER WOMAN news for me to come back to my Blog.

Wonder Woman casting news! Adrienne Palicki will play Wonder Woman (a.k.a. Diana Prince) in the new live action television show!

Can't wait for this. I've seen her only in Aquaman [tv movie where Aquaman was played by Justin Hartley from Smallville (green arrow)]. And I have not seen LEGION the movie yet.
I've been waiting ever since they announced that Joss Whedon was gonna write and direct a movie produced by Joel Silver (that was many years ago heh). Then Warner Brothers pulled out and played the safe game or more like "can'...t-make-up-our-mind" game. I don't know why they had their dilemma time (may be the credit crunch had begun around or in the middle of that time).

Supposed to be the promotional poster for Joss Whedon's Wonder Woman. (Art by Adam Hughes)

Finally they must've understood that the fans ARE INDEED STILL WAITING. These kind of shows are completely fan driven. Promising Television Ratings, international network rights (to air) and excellent DVD sales later. You know it will be seen by comic fans, wonder woman fans (both comic and non comic) and new & old perverts (who watched the 70s Wonder Woman show (played by the evergreen Lynda Carter).

I love Wonder Woman and the new show will be my favourite soon too, the girl seems to have good acting experiences on both type of (reality and sci-fi) shows. So I'm expecting her to perform well. Wonder Woman is one of my long time favourite heroes (or heroines if heroes is not used like the word actors to refer to both male and female performers).
A friend asked me if this will be like Smallville. My answer: In terms of detail, character development, exploring the wonder woman mythology, Yes (it will be like Smallville) and I'm guessing Smallville's succ...ess must've helped them decide to go for a TV Show instead of a movie for the Iconic character. Wonder Woman has so many great stories and excellent rogues gallery too. We might see some other Greek gods appear in the show. Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and the renaissance team pretty much made an excellent new character Xena in the 90s, lets see how they are gonna build the Wonder Woman show. I hope they let Sam Raimi direct some episodes heh it would be fun and entertaining to watch. ‎(Sam Raimi and the renaissance team have nothing to do with this new show, was just comparing)

I have to talk to my Ma about this Adrienne Palicki as Ma is a fan of Supernatural, one of the best television shows ever (that I still haven't finished season 1).

(Video from the JLU, paying homage to the transformation from the classic show)

I was reading about Adrienne Palicki and found:
"she ran track in high school and was named runner-up for homecoming queen. Palicki stands 5'11" (180 cm)", says Wikipedia. Was already liking this casting and now even more so heh.

Stop Whining!

2010-06-29T15:17:00.000-07:00

There are only 9-12 recognised people (out of the continuously spreading billions) who can make a decent film that gets released once in one quarter of a life time in India which can be showcased among world cinema. One of them from the top of such list of nine or twelve is Mani Ratnam. Now, some people may have enormous interest in films and some may think they know about film-making after watching "making of the movie" from a television channel. So they will take things for granted and complain restlessly that a good movie did not exceed their expectations. Well these people can cuff their ankle to a chained cannonball and drop it into the middle of a sea. As for the critics, I have not officially published, but stated in blogposts and radio interviews several times. Critics don't even have a strong theoretical base on their chosen subject (watching movies or reading books written by internationally successful and talented film-makers is not enough), yet they continue to write forgettable reviews for a living. As for the public, if you don't like something, just say "I didn't like it" it just ends with yer opinion. Learn to look at things through a broader viewpoint.

STAR [the clone wars] WARS

2010-03-25T21:06:00.000-07:00

Please click PLAY and continue to read the blog

(read the following 3 lines in Tom Kane's narration style - like every prologue of the clone wars) Governments are rotting, soldiers are dieing for no reason across continents, terrorists bombing without warning and youth are stabbed for no reason in the tube stations while general Vishnu sits down with his membrosia mug to write the greatest blog ever for the greatest new animated series on television. STAR WARS the clone wars. (end of narration)

With the beginning of the second season it was clear that STAR WARS the clone wars was not for children like many "critics" (those people who don't/can't do anything except try to look smart by putting up a fight with the greatest things) had complained when the animated movie came out. The animated movie (released - 2008 in cinemas across the globe) was the opening for the TV series which is now the greatest animated show ever.

For those of you STILL CONFUSED about WHEN this story takes place...
After Attack of the Clones and before Revenge of the Sith. All doubts cleared, so start watching from season 1 or you will be confused further more.

Now, back to talking about Season 2.
Senate sequences reflect ongoing problems of our reality. Many clone troopers losing their lives while some of the senators trying to prevent this from happening, others protest for protection. Brilliant Character Developments and mind boggling plots. Moments that will push you to the edge or out of the chair, jump, clap or laugh in excitement. Star Wars will always be a culture even for the future younglings to follow. Great work by the writers, directors, technical directors, animators and all the other artists and technicians and the actors. Master George Lucas must be thanked for making it possible as he is the godfather of this Star Wars the clone wars animated series as well.

It was shameful and biased at the "annie awards" this year as they didn't even nominate the greatest animated show on television at the moment.
Previously we had He-man TAS*, X-men TAS, G.I.Joe TAS, Batman TAS, Robocop TAS, Spiderman TAS, Superman TAS, Swat Kats TAS, Johnny Quest TAS, Samurai Jack TAS, The New Batman Adventures*, Batman Beyond TAS, Hulk TAS, F4 TAS, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited TAS (one of the highest rated television shows) X-men Evolution TAS, The Batman TAS, Legion of Superheroes TAS (etc etc etc) and now... it is STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS.

This was unexpected. The aim was to make something bigger than the Genndy Tartakovsky project a few years ago, STAR WARS CLONE WARS the micro series. Aired on cartoon network for 5 minutes every day on weekdays. Later released as Vol.1 and Vol.2 on DVD. This series was so good, it won Emmy Award(s). Master George Lucas was happy with the outcome of the Tartakovsky and gang's work on Star Wars. But as soon as that was over he (master Lucas) told us that he was planning on an animated series after Episode 6 (Revenge of the Sith). "Only this time it is going to be 3D" he mentioned. To be honest, this is the best ever 3D animated series. Mightier than Max Steel. Greater than even Starship Troopers animated series or Sitting Ducks (one of my all time favorites, highly recommended if you have missed out).We can only hope that Star Wars The Clone Wars would not end soon. If you still have not watched it, you better start now. Black crystal sabers, lovers from the past, epic battles and how the separatist got owned every time they tried to act smart... everything and all thing star wars is happening. Great addition to the Star Wars myth, this series has become.

Here are some beautiful shots from the 2nd season, think of them as teaser images. In the current storyline we even get a peek at the history of the black saber (the way the black saber moves is just too much).

And now, the exclusive preview = Season 2 Episode 16

If you are busy and have too much work... finish it soon and start watching. If you have paused after season 1, continue soon. This show must be seen to believe it's massiveness.

May the force be with you

[TAS* = The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures* = New Adventures (continuation of Batman The Animated series with modern logo, complete change in character and environment designs, return of dick grayson as nightwing, a new robin-tim drake, batgirl, more characters and more stories)]

Samhain: Almost Halloween ... my zombie lover

2009-11-02T01:24:00.000-08:00

Surprise yer behinds I will. With my return to the restless, ranting world of blog !

Back again; this time with beer-body-stink and plastic-face-stink.

I was the Grim... Executioner ? Something I came up with. The scythe (usual accessory of the Grim Reaper was cool and all. But I liked my big axe better).
For the first time, I celebrated my favorite foreign tradition/festival like the way it should be. That's right, HALLOWEEN as you all know it. (Some of my friends would remember the parties, where they dressed up in t-shirts, shirts, pants, jeans, combed hair, some shirts tucked in and said, "WE ARE DRESSED AS YER FRIENDs" damn. Hahahahahah the good days, classic moments. I just love you all.)

Costumes, body decoration, face and body make up, more costumes, loud shrieks, camera flash, great music, more costumes, more students, more strangers (slightly irritating), more drinks, no food, no crisps, lots of dancing, invisible butt grabbers, invisible crotch grabbers, random dance partners, more great music, more dancing and dancing and dancing and dancing...

The Dj's were promising. No dance music mind you, it was an Inde night. Independent music at its best. Mix of rock and roll, alternative and some club. They played GHOSTBUSTERS dammit! And Jack White (awesomeness), killers, Oasis (amazing-ness), rage against the machine, kings of leon, etc etc.

We begin at 10pm at the good old Ele-house pub and move our way up to the Auditorium inside THE FORUM by 11pm. Squeeze into the dance floor, find a spot and HIT IT HARD... The Dance I mean. Making moves, shaking yo body and stuff. It was fun !

The reason the night was so enjoyable was because of the music, we couldn't thank the DJs enuff. Just when you get smart on the dance floor, some girl would pat yer butt. Just when you think that was COOL... you'll be surprised with a HARDER grip on yer butt and you think "what a strong woman, damn" and when you turn around you wont be surprised. It would be a guy... PHOOEY! Forgive 'em and continue dancing and drinking and dancing.

From Scooby doo to heath ledger as JOKER, ghouls to superheroes.
My favorites were: Banana man, CLASSIC STORM TROOPER WITH HIS HEAD LOOKING STRAIGHT, Green Arrow, Buzz Lightyear, Giant-robot-with-phone-keypads and my most fav all. ZOMBIE NURSE (I fell in love, i can say love at first sight without a doubt) I went to her and said (that's amazing, yer amazing, i mean amazing make up) and she, 'thank you'. A Zombie Nurse, with the most beautiful zombie make up. I guess this is what happens when you are a hardcore horror fan... but the make up... oh my goodness. Before I could find the damn cam, my zombie nurse went away... and i couldn't find my zombie nurse. But i'm here for a year... I'm gonna find my zombie nurse and ask her to heal me with her zombie powers ?

However, it was a great night out.
For those of you, you know who you are. Yer spirits were with me all night long, drinking and dancing with me. No, yer spirits did not get ass raped like the dude @ the forum when the last song for the night, the classic HEY JUDE was played. All the folks pulled me in, to form a big circle to sway our legs for HEY JUDE and screaming and dancing as we were and my friends joined in as well. So we were all united... suddenly, a guy was pushed right into the middle and he was in his shorts. Another guy pushed him down and without wasting a second, pulled his shorts off. The nude-dude was screaming more and just when his ass was about to be owned, he was helped back up and it took a while for him to find his underwear.

The End by 3 am sharp...
Hey Zombie Nurse my zombie lover where you @ ? I'll play George Romero, you be my zombie nurse... ah my zombie zombie lover!

Na... na na na na na na na na
HEY JUDE!

save yerself NUDE-DUDE

...sayonara...

SAY AMERICA ! --- "okay... ameDica"

2008-10-29T14:07:00.000-07:00

I've been a fan of the land of opportunities, even before I knew it was called UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Before I felt like counting the stars in the STARS n STRIPES flag. Before I knew how to read a comic magazine. Before Osama Bin Laden was given CIA training. Before Americans learned that MCCARTHYISM was bullshit. Before I found the lines in the Asoka blue wheel in our flag confusing. Before American Presidents bombed several countries. Before my Kindergarten Girlfriend and I were torn apart (damn her father, he put her in an all girls school... bloody mallu). Before my mother told me that TOM AND JERRY was not made in India. Before George Herbert Walker Bush became President. Before I read "MADE IN CHINA" on my He-Man Action figure. Before Bruce Timm produced the Batman Animated Series. Before I saw the Superman animated series on Doordarshan. Before TERMINATOR JUDGEMENT DAY. Before Popular Mechanics for kids on Doordarshan. Before Elisha Cuthbert's appearance on Popular Mechanics for kids. Before Adam Sandler entered Saturday Night Live. Before The Beverly Hills Cop. Before my parents knew everything about ABE LINCOLN. Before the COPS show was first broadcasted. Before HULK HOGAN jumped to the cheap WCW. Before I saw Lucky Luke. Before I knew Jonah Hex. Before WONDER YEARS (which I saw when kids my age were not allowed to see or never saw). Before the first telecast of Garfield and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Before I went to an ALL BALLS school for 6Th grade. Before I knew that it was the same guy who was behind the creation of the EIFFEL TOWER was also behind the creation of THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. Before I knew that Miss Liberty was a gift from France. Before some of my elder family friends tried to sound SUPER COOL with the FAKEST accent. Before some friends who put down USA to irritate me. Before people my age started flaunting about the 70's show. Before some friends who were not SUAVE AND GENTLE MANLY. Before I introduced "POP music" to their ears. Before girls changed them into complete men. Before American children learned to fire Arms with ammunition @ schools. Before collecting various imported magazines. Before a Disneyland in Tokyo. Before I was interested in Fashion Photography.
Before George Walter Bush became President. Before my classmates thought about going to USA. Before my classmates were forced to study Engineering. Before I knew I was going to be part of history. Before I knew that I never give up. Before I knew who my grandfather was. Before I remembered my father's face. Before my grandfather died (my mother's daddio). Before stupid people thought he was a KANAKKU PILLAI (the guy couldn't figure what 547 minus 365 was, he only studied till 5Th grade school it seems... heheh RIP Grandpa, I will never forget you). Before Indians began populating every corner of the earth without knowing each other. Before I knew that the weird thing inside the pants was a reproductive organ (weapon of mass destruction). Before Saddam was blamed for hiding weapons of mass destruction. Before The National Rifle Association had 4 million members. Before Indians learned the word STAND UP COMEDY (which is being raped by Indians... almost everyday). Before I had sissy friends.
After the India's "Independence" (thank you Gandhi-joth). After USA lost the first baseball world cup to England. After Americans were interested in GANDHIAN THOUGHTS X-{
(In master Yoda's words... Greatly misguided, they are!)
After Indians stole movies and music from the OVERSEAS (unfortunately, they've been doing this even before some of our parents were born). After I learned that the theme music of THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY was composed by an Italian. After I saw The Good The Bad The Ugly. After the first broadcast of WW(F). And obviously before the AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2008.

I have been to USA (L.A. New York, New Jersey, Las Vegas and back to L.A.) Once. Although I did enjoy the trip as a tourist, it's been a dream to study and work with the highly artistic and creative entertainment industry (BEFORE ANYTHING and EVERYTHING). Unfortunately, things have not been positive for me and when it did seem positive. The economy of USA has fallen deep into Mephisto's realm. I'm hoping the right person gets elected. As it will help both USA and the world's economy greatly and not leave another dark mark in the history books of the future. So that my chance(s) of going to USA will not fall apart completely (it doesn't matter even if I don't go soon, some day I should be able to).

Hope this post was fun, knowledgeable, offending and insulting.

Love you all

SEPTEMBER 11

2008-09-11T08:26:00.000-07:00

First of all... A moment of silence for the twin towers and those many sad souls, whose lives was sacrificed by premier GEORGE WALTER BUSH, few years ago.

...

...

...

May "The Asshole" die the most painful death.

Been a while since I put some words out here.

Srivats has left to France. I wish the man all the very best in what he has chosen to do there.

My recent work was to edit a documentary with Srivats. Work was at its best. With quality
output. Where you had a great deal of limits, you try to make it look not so boring. Pretty TIRING stuff.

When you are single for a long time. Then you meet someone and fall in what you both believe is
love. And when its over for GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON. Being single again, is different. Know what I mean?
Moving on and all is nice and wise. Still, SINGLE AFTER BEING DOUBLE is not the same single that you used to be when you said, "NAH, I HATE GIRLS." "NAH. ME? NO WAY! I CAN'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND." You know, hiding what you really want to be or want to do. "It's hard for me to find the 'sacred place' now that I'm not in the age of love anymore." I'm a raging Cajun, hot rod redneck who is not "trying" you could say. Question is, am I ready for another BUMPY RIDE on the JUST GOT close to HITCHED WAGON ? I don't know. Only time will tell.

Speaking of HITCHED... Some princesses getting busy with finding suitors. A couple of good friends. Good luck to you all. May life not
feel like a pile of junk anymore.

I haven't had luck in flying away for training in film making yet. Either don't get in or do get an offer but wont be able to make it there. Still trying for some best places. Meanwhile, "freelancer" for film and TV production.

HAPPENING again and

2008-06-27T19:34:00.000-07:00

Forget UTV. I felt bombed when I thought SPYGLASS ENTERTAINMENT had let things slip for this movie, THE HAPPENING. But I was wrong. Dammit. I'm glad I was wrong. Everything seems to be pretty cool. 50% of the peeps I know have been reporting that they enjoyed the movie without any appearances of the "microphone." (Came from those who are not in India) But for those of us who are here (in India), our movie theaters do not actually have proper Projection Gates. (Most of our theaters are busy counting money bills, while forgetting to fix their surround sound speakers. I guess some of us expect too much as usual from our beloved ancient land with varied heritage) .

THE HAPPENING now gets 120/100 in my book. (After research and confirmation, some theaters in the USA too had the projection problem, and the 'mic' was seen)

So I end this tiny post by informing you that, there's no one to blame. But the movie theaters. Not the Director, the Cinematographer, the Editor or even the sad Boom-operator. Just the Movie Theaters.

THE HAPPENING - M.NIGHT SHYAMALAN

2008-06-16T04:32:00.000-07:00

I'm back with my blog. Nope, my silly keyboard couldn't stop me.
I saw THE HAPPENING, today- June 15Th 2008. I wont say this was a bad movie. It scores many points but gets as much as negative points too. Be sure to get scared when you see the movie. M. Night will give you the creeps. Thats for sure.

The bad part was the "BOOM OPERATOR" or "CINEMATOGRAPHER" or "EDITOR." I'm not sure whom to blame along with M. NIGHT.
You'll be able to see "microphone" often. The microphone is to record the voice of the actors and the person who holds it is called the BOOM OPERATOR. Now this was bad. Super-bad! Our Indian people like to act smart all the time. So these parts of the film where the microphone was noticeable gave them the chance to laugh and shout smart stuff! My problem wasn't even the microphone (not really), but the disturbance from the SMART-DISTURBED CROWD.
Also, the microphone took out the seriousness and stole the spotlight when the actors were at the peak of their brilliant performance.

I am still wondering why did they have to show the microphone so damn much. Of course, I am not proud of this movie. But on the long shot, I'd give it a 99/100. If it wasn't for the "microphone-invasion", it would be a full 100.

Just like, how you tried to freak out yer friends after seeing THE SIXTH SENSE by saying, "I CAN SEE DEAD PEOPLE." I'm not sure this movie is gonna have that much of an effect, but yeah. Some of you will start WALKING BACKWARDS or TALK SILLY (not like you don't do that already) or ACT LIKE A MORON. But you sure wont forget "the invasion of the boom operator."

Be prepared to get scared, wonder about the whole concept and to listen to the smart shouting of people who come to see the movie (because of the mic).

Someone has to right to M. Night. And must let him know about this personally. (again, not that no one would've already asked, but I don't want some lame microphone to be stopping him from becoming the next big film-maker)

Leave that. This movie was touching. Scary. And it will make us remember, that we are part of this planet. The planet and nature are not part of us!

The Mighty Oscars

2008-03-05T00:44:00.000-08:00

It was the 80th Academy Awards and it's like DA DAY, for some of us (you guys know who you are). I got to see it at my good friend's place this time. I had already come home the night before and we began talking about you know, WHO'D WIN AND WHO WONT and ended up saying, I THINK THEY ALL DESERVE IT, SO LET 'EM ALL WIN! Well, it was tough competition this year alright. Michael Clayton, There Will Be Blood, Once, Atonement, No Country For Old Men, American Gangster and so many WOWIES this year. And then, time jumped in a flash! It was 5:30 am already, time for the red carpet show.

Starting with my favorites, Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman. They looked amazing. And they were pregnant (which made them look more good). Cate wore a deep purple gown by Dries Van Noten.

I wanted to put a single picture of Nicole Kidman, but there was a pic that I couldn't resist.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban wore BALENCIAGA.
Clutch by Bottega Veneta, 1,399-carat diamond necklace by L’Wren Scott.

(sigh, what a pose)

Julie Christie and Helen Mirren, the two hot grandmas. (Oh I love those dames).

They just looked fabulous.
Julie Christie wore a red Tanya Gill designed dress.

And Helen Mirren in George Chakra. Swarovski crystal sleeves, H. Stern and Fred Leighton jewels, Jimmy Choo “Idol” shoes (exaggerated platform dyed red).

Here's another scoop from the red HOT carpet!

Well, thats as far as I go in-fashion-detail. Here are the precious others at the Oscars.

Harrison Ford and Callista Flockheart.
George Clooney and girlfriend.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa.

And then, the Oscars began. And it was nice to see this man again.

John Stewart. This was his second time, hosting the show.
Ever so creative and bold.
He made sure that everybody gave their winning speech in full.
Never thought he'd point out the OBAMA vs OSAMA thing, I have always wondered and thought it would be cool if Obama won the presidential elections. Well, it was strange that... whatever!

And then... all of it happened and without any expectation, THE ROCK showed up. At the oscars to present an award. I mean, WOW. The Rock. One of my Idols and on top of the list. This sure is an achievement.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
{For those of you who were worried that you'll never see The Rock in the Wrestling scene will not have to worry. This year THE GREAT ONE will be at WRESTLEMANIA 08 to induct his Dad and Granpa into the WRESTLING HALL OF FAME}

Like DUDE WHERE'S MY CAR. And then...
There were great performances of songs, mostly from the wonderful disney movie Enchanted. Amy Adams was at her best on stage.

Here is what you really need to know.

Rattatouille was nominated for more than just one award, which all of us should be proud of.
Golden compass deserved the Visual Effects, no doubt.
Bourne Supremacy did not deserve all the SOUND awards. I was angry that they didn't give either one SOUND award to TRANSFORMERS. 'Cause the sound-editing and sound-recording was perfect and is not that easy to create for a movie like Transformers.
Other than that, George Clooney and Jack Nicholson were THANKED again, by everyone. All four actors deserved the awards. I thought Cate would win again, 2 strong performances. Anyways, Tilda is not a bad actor. So it's okay, it's alright. Javier did a great job, and you dont even have to see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN to judge that, all you have to see is just the trailer and you'd know it. And I was happy to see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN win the best picture. It sure deserves to.

It was great to see the Coen Brothers go home with awards for both best direction and best picture of the year. This was their second time to have won the oscar(s).

And finally, I have to say, the set design was of the roof as always, but too good this year. The music was great (thanks to Bill Conti). Great Montages were shown this year. And I missed one man.

We miss you HEATH.

R.I.P.

Be sure to catch his final performance in full role in THE DARK KNIGHT, summer 08. And an upcoming Terry Gilliam movie, which Heath Ledger completed half and rumor has it that the other half will be played by 'a mysterious actor'
(HA! the girls wouldn't know now.)

Well, he was too young to have passed away.

This isn't the best-ever-blog-post, but this sure is one of my fav posts. Gathering info on the fashion and jewels and all. Have a great month everybody. And Happy Birthday to all of you who have yer birthday this month.

HEY! HEY! HEY! DEAD MAN WALKING!

2008-02-11T17:55:00.000-08:00

'Tis TRUE THAT I HAD NOT WRITTEN IN A WHILE.
THE BLOG WILL NOT DIE!
JUST 'CAUSE I'M DEPRESSED DOESN'T MEAN THAT I HAVE TO STOP ENTERTAINING MY PEEPS. WHAT IF I LOST JUST 1 WHOM I LOVED. I HAVE LOTS AROUND ME WHO LOVE ME MORE THAN MY GRILL-FRIED EVER DID. AND I LOVE YOU ALL TOO. IT'S JUST, ONE GETS CARRIED AWAY AND ALL EMO-SHIT WHEN YOU'VE BEEN SPAT OUT OF THE PITS OF LOVE.
However, I'm 22 now. And its been like ... uh .... uh ... uh ... Eight months since I split up. I mean forced to split up from and by the one I loved. May be it's time I begin to stop listening to my heart. And start listening to my brain and agree to what my Closest of friends keep telling me.
True, my aspirations were ripped to shreds. But they haven't turned into dust. With all that, I have been able to take STEP 1 in my three-way career. The movies line. I am currently working in a TV show, a special 20 episode serial for JAYA TV. Starring Simran. Which should be on air from MARCH, week 1. I am an Assistant Director. (And no, I don't bring coffee or tissue napkins for my superiors, or I wouldn't consider to use such words as "STEP 1.")
I had only planned the rest of my life with what 2 of us would do in and about our careers. Now that I'm just me, without my other half. Let's see how things work out. Let's see, who does what. As of now, I'm on the lead. 'Cause I'm doing what I love. I've a job from one of my chosen paths. The other things that have been out of shape are my, body and piano skills. Now I can continue to work on them. (As soon as the scheduled shooting dates are over.)
The Comics: The comics project is not dead either. I'm still working on it. Planning for VOL 1 on 3 different titles. Let's wait and see what happens.

My cousin's album has come out for my brother's movie. The Audio Launch was successful. I'm happy for the lads. Thanks for those who were there. Yer support's much appreciated.

J.K. Rowling's gone bonkers or has opted to act like a smarty^panties^sell-out! Or should I say, she is going through M***P****. Poor granny Rowling nana. She wants attention, but in a very intelligent way. I know where she's headed. And it's not a good idea. She doesn't stop it with calling Dumbledore gay. The sixth HARRY POTTER movie has begun and Steve Kloves (the writer) is back to write again. Rowling has read Kloves' script and crossed out a passage in which Dumbledore recalls a past female love, penning in the margin "Dumbledore is gay." I mean COME ON! For the love of Merlin's beard. For crying out loud! We know that nana is intelligent. Now she wants to show that she's smart. I'm sure Sir Mike Gambon who plays Dumbledore in the movie is pretty much disturbed. But he doesn't have to worry about it after this movie is done with. Hopefully. (Or the crazy JK might be waiting to some how say that noble Dd is gay.)

Here is a little something for you potter fans out there:

I wish a lot of men and women out there all the very best. Some have started working, some are planning to study more. I believe most of you have unfortunately become single again. Sad, Sad Times. Let's hope there are better things out there, watching, waiting for us. Hmph. Somethings just can't be helped.
I need to start my language classes as well. Been lousy times lately.
Truth be told: I still haven't lost all hope or love. But love surely doth have lost 'tis tide, after some of the things that went into my ears from the one who used to be my other half. And I have to accept, 'nother yon-lady has caught me sight. Lest see for ourselves, what the future holds.
This might not be a strong comeback, but I guarantee you. That I am not lame anymore. Or will try to be stronger than ever!

THAT IS A PROMISE!

MOST LIKELY YOU GO YER WAY...

... And I go mine.

Hey there everyone. It's been a while since I came out with a new post. Well, here it is. As promised, I will begin with a small review with gargantuan opinions about TRANSFORMERS the movie.

TRANSFORMERS: As much as I enjoyed the movie, I had some major disliking with the juvenile ways of writing this movie. As much as I enjoyed the action, I enjoyed the comedy as well. But when I saw The Autobots playing hide and seek with the Witwickys, I did laugh, but with sadness. Now, I understand that even the greatest of warriors have their bad-hair-day, but this was too much to digest. I felt "THE STEVEN SPIELBERG TOUCH" here and there, which was very nice. Apart from that, the film-makers did a great job. It is very hard to shoot and edit a film like this. So hats off to all the departments. Once again, great job by Michael Bay. It was great to see John Tuturro in the movie, never expected him. My 2 personal favourite moments from the movie was, 1- where they show an Indian Call Centre and the Indian lad talking about premium offers. 2- Megatron flicks a woman and grunts, "Disgusting." I laughed my head off. I have to give 10/10 for this movie. Although, other long time fans of Transformers would not approve my rating. This is especially for those hard-working CG and Visual Effects people who did their best to give us a great TRANSFORMERS movie. Anybody who did not like the movie, read this [1st of all, I don't care what you think, 'cause you don't know how to watch a movie. Just 'cause you like English movies or just 'cause yer eyes are open at the movie theatre, does not mean you know how to watch a movie. Get it? You don't know how to watch and appreciate film, you can catch the fastest train to hell and crash on yer way, rot for a while and then reach hell after a big delay] I loved the way the writers and film-makers went about the alien sounds, the fictitious-war-hungry-USA concept and Frenzy (decepticon super spy). The Voice acting was brilliant. And loved the way Bumble Bee and Barricade were shown. Megan Fox was disgusting. And I'm not gay.

MY LIFE: I have not been UP and ANTE by mood. But I've been trying to keep it up with all the shit that all of us have to face through life. Shit that keeps coming hard at us, hitting us right and left. It's just that the shit is limitless when you are in india. But it's okay.

I am on a temp (not-so-official) deal with a certain comics company. After I finish what I'm supposed to do, I've got to show them. And as some of you might've heard this already, "IF THEY LIKE WHAT THEY SEE, THEN THEY'LL PUBLISH IT UNDER THEIR LABEL." Now, lets not hope anything. I'll just have to finish the work first and see what happens.

I am also working on a tune. As for film and video, I have 3 story lines which need huge development. 1 of them has come out well in the discussions. I will film it with a 3CCD cam soon. The other two are proper ideas for film. We will see more about it in the upcoming blog posts. It is such an amazing feeling when you do what you love. I'm waiting to experience how it feels when one finally achieves in his/her field of interests, BIG TIME.

I'm currently playing SIMS 2 for PS2. I'm waiting to get SIMS CASTAWAY (PS2), SMACKDOWN vs RAW 2008 (PS2 and PS3), GOD OF WAR 2 (PS2) and ASSASSIN'S CREED (for PS3). Also waiting for Looney Tunes Acme Arsenal (PS2) and KILLZONE (PS3).

Samhain (Halloween's night) on the 31st of OCT went great even without a huge crowd. Two new friend's of mine had shown up. Thanks to Badri, my old friend. It was a night of BIG BLUFFS. For those who didn't come, you people missed it. For those who couldn't come, try to make it next time for sure, 'cause I missed you all.

MY FAV UPCOMING MOVIE TO TALK ABOUT: If there is one, then it is I'M NOT THERE. A re-enactment of the life of musician, Bob Dylan, with multiple actors embodying different stages in the singer's life. You wont believe, Christian Bale - Heath Ledger - Richard Gere - Ben Whinshaw - Marcus Carl Franklin. All of these men are playing the role of the legendary Bob Dylan. Now, I did not mention 1 of the actors playing the role of Bob. Yes, you bet. There is one more. Well. It's a woman. Guess who? Ever lovely CATE BLANCHETT. The daring actor does a daring role and is my fav Bob Dylan compared to anyone in the movie. Not because I love Cate Blanchett and what she does. Well, you have to see it for yerself.

Well?

She deserves an Oscar for this. Damn the academy awards.

She deserves more than an academy award for her dedication for every role that she plays. The movie I'M NOT THERE will be released NOV 21st 2007 (limited release in the USA itself). And you can be sure that this movie will not be released in our beloved country. 'Cause the majority of our beloved Indian folk would not know who Bob Dylan was. And its a completely different story with the wannabes. Let just hope that it releases here. This is gonna be such an awesome film. It is worth making up shit at home to the strict parents, and catch it for a 10/10:30PM show. While you CATE BLANCHETT fans wait for this one, try to catch ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE. Also, I have great news. Cate is also starring on the new INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (2008).

10 TRACKS TO LISTEN TO:

Stronger - Kanye West

Seat Next To You - Bon Jovi

Most Likely Go Your Way (Mark Ronson Remix) - Bob Dylan

Home - Chris Daughtry

Ayo Technology - 50 Cent feat Justin Timberlake

The Way I Are - Timbaland feat Keri Hilson and D.O.E

It was nice to blog after 2 months. Have a great DIWALI.

Sayonara. Until next time.

HERE I screAM: LOUD AND CLEAR

2007-09-01T14:29:00.000-07:00

ALL THE WORLD IS A STAGE AND... ...India has too much cast (population) and too much caste (you know that separating shit)

"I can't sleep, I can't eat, I'm too lazy to do any work and I can't stop listening to a bunch of music tracks about a thousand times, every time. Most importantly, I can't stop giving my views or stop thinking."

A MAN AND A WOMAN
"Man is not a good person. He lies, he cheats and steals. But when he is in love, he is better than GOD itself. He will be in love so much, that he might forget to eat, sleep, or spend time with all the people whom he grew up with, and all his man-friends too. Only as time passes by, he learns to juggle the things around him. Trying to be fair with everybody else. Yet, he spends more time with his woman or tries to. He cares for her more than anything. And usually, man has less history or no history at all (you know what I mean). And all of these apply to a good man, not to a gigolo."

"Woman is a very good person (men, I'm not joking). When she is in love, she is purely addicted just like the man. But she knows her limits, she has more control over herself than man itself. The people who grew up with her don't find any faults with her (although they may have huge doubts right from when she was 13). Clearly, a woman keeps up with her timetable in her brain. I have no idea whether a woman cares as much as the guy, so I cant say anything more about it. And usually, woman has loads of history, compared to man. An Indian woman has more history compared to any woman in the world. And are best keepers-of-own-secrets."
"Man is a loser on the whole, but it's men like these... ...get the best out of a woman. ALWAYS! At some point of time, all men do think this way, but a few good men are truly in love, not into lust. And most of the girls who eyeball me or whom I don't mind staring-back-at, are married, to some elderly looking grandpa. I'm only 21, and imagine my situation. It's just too much for me to face. Woman does not have a stable mind. So do men, but most of the time, earth girls are not easy. Men are easy. We know what we want. And nine times out of 10, it's just one thing. Women have no idea what they want, so there's zero hope for us."

"And women make huge mistakes*, so do most of my friends' IT friends (some guys are too desperate, and I refer to them as ITem friends, and some know nothing or too scared to commit themselves to a relationship) (huge mistakes* - Bad choices, bad decisions. Sure, nobody has the intention to choose the BAD stuff out there, but you can use yer brain for common sense too, not just for scoring marks in studies, trying to hide things from parents, dissing the boy friend at certain times, dissing boy friend's requests, not-a-steady-mind, blaming the break-up reason on yer parents situation or the many things you hide from yer man, etc etc)"

"As to find out the truth about 'WOMEN-WOULD-DO-ANYTHING-TO-ACHIEVE-WHAT-THEY-WANT.' I asked a 50 year old woman indirectly through an example and her answer was scary. Believe me, I am better than that woman and so are you (men and women who are reading my blog, women of the current generation). You (women) are all GOLD, compared to the women of the earlier generations (there may be some 'exceptence'). But things get out of hand for you, easily. Either you are stubborn or you lose control. We (men) love you all, some of you have good knowledge of everything that is life and use yer brains well."

To all men and women, "don't end up being a hypocrite. Don't do something that you already know is bad. Live yer life to the fullest, live happily ever after. Today you might worry, tomorrow a lightning might strike you head-on from the sky and turn you into ashes. Why die with an empty feeling? Love while you still can, while India is being ruled by Indians, yes, India is heavily debted to the world bank and anytime soon all the countries who've lent us money will come and colonize in our country, snatching and separating every part of this country. Example: China captures a few states, England will be back for sure, so do the Portuguese and the Dutch, Korea will be using some states for checking their weapons, etc etc. We'll have no place to live, no food to eat, no clothes to change, and the one person whom you knew well would've been killed to set an example already (I can see some of you boys and girls reading this are jumping in joy) or traded for another slave to some other state or country (still, na na na na na, not dead). But still, if you know what you are doing is right and feel it is universally applicable (don't apply it to India, No - Thing is right here). Don't say that you don't care about the 'universal thing' -you need to socialize at least somewhere and live happily. No one wants to live a sad-sorry-excuse of a life." {I know I can be annoying. See, that's the result of thinking about EVERYTHING (:B)}

To men who have been single all their life,

"Don't rely on lady luck. You either have luck, or you don't. If you don't have luck, don't put yerself in situations where it determines everything." (:B)

If any of you wish to read more about the wonderful and mysterious thing called love, visit http://dinnerbadge.blogspot.com/ and read "THE BIG YELLOW SCHOOL BUS" (:B)

In this game of chess that I have played by myself with both sides (women and men), neither side wins, but both the sides have lots to lose.

WORK AND CONTACT PROBLEM
"I've been off and on-line frequently, meeting some friends here and there. But my cellphone and I have not been close friends for a while now, I think it's 'cause of the connection I'm using. And it's (name of the stupid connection service provider) not worth mentioning over here. Anybody who had trouble reaching me for a while now, here is my reason."

"I might direct a Tamil movie as an assistant director if luck plays a good role (as it always does to many others who don't even like to be part of the film industry). But I lack the experience, so let us see what happens. Other than that, the comic development is on the hold 'cause I have to make a couple of short films. YES! A wise friend or two, will be my co-worker(s). About the comics, Captain I.N.D.'s name (the title itself) might change and his origin plot might change entirely too, since I plan on re-working it. Scool Spy on the other hand, is going well."

INDEPENDENCE AND INDIA
"Stop embarrassing yerselves by celebrating INDEPENDENCE DAY. More people in our country were not complaining, when they were being ruled by the brits back then. They were happy enuff to send their daughters to the white man's house after curfew. By forcing her to go, they could live in peace. While she'd have to carry a half-pig inside her and try to answer it, when it grows up asking questions. I understand the pressure behind these things, but I'd rather fight an army than to send my daughter to a filthy pig's bed. Now, I'm no racist. But I consider any man a pig: who meets a woman in bed. But has never met her before." (And pigs are filthy animals)

"I don't have to tell you, but you should already know this has been happening all around you, all these years and many years to come (i.e., if we don't step up and put an end to this filthy shit)."

"India was a beautiful country with its ancient culture. We were dressed in gold when all the peasants in other countries were dressed in cotton & wool (I love cotton clothes too and I know you do too, but I mean... All of us dressed literally in gold, imagine that). People with rich health and rich hearts. Well, we live nothing compared to this anymore. Not even worth talking about comparison. Our old fools were not brainy enuff to continue the royalty. Look at us now. I understand that no country is perfect. But look at us. We are definitely not in a situation to celebrate independence. Oh, and do all of you like the design of the national flag? I just like the chakra, that's all."

Okay, may be the tv channels and radio channels have developed into many. But the maturity and civilized manners have not struck the minds of our people. People who ask me to "GROW UP" are actually the ones, whose brains have not developed yet.

There are people out there, fighting for country against country. India is the only country which has all kinds of fights. Race, religion, inter-state fights, inter-caste fights, inter-gender fights (men don't spend time understanding women and women don't understand men). Wowie! But August 15th shouldn't arrive, that's it. They'll say, "All Indians must unite." What a sick, im-mature joke. And read that "national pledge" of ours again, "ALL INDIANS ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS..." Oh, blimey! Is that why we have a lot of retarded children around here? Cosins marrying each other and all. Okay, let it be BROTHER AND SISTER itself, does that mean, no one should get married? Or are the people following the pledge properly? I cant see it happening. Correct me if I am wrong again, INDIA is #1 in birthrate. I hate the INDIAN PLEDGE, cause it does not make sense at all. Am not asking you to hate it too, but just see how stupid it is... ...yet, English is one of the important languages in our country. I hope no foreigner gets to read our pledge. DAMN!

ECONOMY AND EXPERIMENTS
"I think India should continue the barter system again, our currency value compared to all the other countries, is just too low (do we still have stuff here to barter with?)
All the people who are reading my blog, who are involved in BUSINESSES. Make money and try to make them in good ways as best as possible. I know it's tuff to change the age old India-cheating-business-strategies, but don't let the reserve bank to keep printing new money bills anymore. Already the trees on our walking platforms and road-sides are missing. And we are too populated and polluted to live without the help of trees. (:B) We should begin manufacturing flexi-fuel vehicles, which run on 80% ethanol and 20% petroleum. Corn is not that hard for us, we are one of the few SUPER AGRICULTURAL countries after all (but with loads of sad farmers, some of them are sad no matter what).

REVIEWS
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Way better than the original (the first movie). Good comic action, good comic humor, nice selection of story parts from the comics. If one of the King of comics, Jack Kirby was alive, he would've been very happy to see this movie. I was both happy and sad to see the Silver Surfer on screen.

'Cause he was one of the 10 characters I had in mind to make a film about. These Hollywood bad boys are fast. Anyways, Doug Jones who played the Role of Silver Surfer. Did a tremendous performance (most of you may not know him well, he is a wonderful theatrical performer and he played ABE SAPIENS in the movie HELLBOY). I wouldn't pay to see anyone better to play the role of the Surfer. Great choice by the casting directors and the director. The rest of the gang Ioan (mr. fantastic), Jessica (invisible girl), Chris (human torch), Michael (thing) and Julian (Dr. Doom) did a brilliant job in this one. They had more good parts for their roles in this movie. The whole concept of Doom with extra power cosmic was shown so well. The new costume, the intolerable arrogance, etc. I still couldn't stop laughing about the shot where THING shouts at a bear in the forest. The concept of the HUMAN TORCH with the-power-4-ending was a good idea and once again, greatly shown on film. This combined-power-of-4 concept is from SUPER SKRULL. (on the image)

is a villain from the skrull planet (in the marvel comics universe, its a planet which has been trying throughout generations to make humans its slave. That is all i can say about the skrull planet, if you wish to know more, then read Fantastic Four comics). I loved the London's big wheel sequence too. Overall, I'd rate this as 5/10. That was for disappointing me by not showing GALACTUS (devourer of planets, wanna know more about him, read about him in wiki or Google his name). The mighty lord GALACTUS, the one I fear, the one I pray not to come to my planet. The one whom SILVER SURFER serves/served, was not shown properly, I don't know why they are saving his appearance or what for. But if they wish to show him, they must do it soon. Or may be, who knows (thinking sinisterly). Alright, as a movie. F4: ROTSS gets 10/10. Perfecto! Even the way Galactus was shown was cool, all that floating cosmic energy. (Hey if you don't understand what cosmic is, then it is beyond what you are capable of. Ha ha ha!) The cast and crew did a great job with this piece of movie. Nice screenplay, 100 times better than the last one.

Something happened here in our movie theatres. Some stuff were cut for no reason. This is only a PG rated movie, but I don't know for what reason our people cut it. One of them is where STAN-LEE (comics legend and co-creator of F4) arrives to the wedding of Reed and Sue.

Next blog will have a larger than life look at TRANSFORMERS the movie.

To all the people who know they are bad, to all hypocrites and to all who think that religion or caste is bigger than humanity. Here is what I have to say, "Just because you are a character... ...that does not mean you have character. And you suck forever!"

Anyways, have a great month!

HERE I AM, JULY 31st - AUGUST 1st

2007-07-31T15:36:00.000-07:00

Hey there everybody. It's been more than a month for my blog to go online. Well, a lot of things have been happening with me, so that's why the poor blog got delayed.
One of the reasons behind the delay was my friend Kuhan. Who was supposed to give me a couple of photos that I wanted to put up on the blog page. But he kept playing around and now I have nothing to put up.

READ AT OWN RISK:
Like I said in the last blog: The answers and origins to/of Indian Culture's:Child Marriage, Sati, child molestation and legal rape.

Man loses everything in life, then puts up his daughter for sale to an old man for great fortune. Or some times, two friends decide even before their children are born, that one will give his daughter to the other's son. That's how child marriages began. One of the few original things about this country, like the digit ZERO.

Sati:When a woman's husband died, the other men couldn't control their zippers or pajama strings and these men's wives were scared that they wont be able to satisfy their men. So they all threw or forced the widow to be burnt alive along with her dead husband. Wow, I mean. This is really getting smoking creative. So whats cooking? Dead man and a woman who was alive, crying and writhing in pain. Talk about "karma" for those who did all these things.
Child molestation. I wish Gandhi wasn't shot. We would've had his interview, exclusively on my blog. The western continents are not the only one that is leading in child molestation and child abuse. There was a case here, not very long ago. A father raped and killed his daughter, who was only a 3 year old baby. I bet no other country can beat this one, can they?
Ah, here's my favorite. LEGAL RAPE/FORCIBLE MARRIAGE. People of our beloved country cant seem to understand how marriages are made. Of course, they would be so smart to tell us that, "MARRIAGES ARE MADE IN HEAVEN." Okay now,if that really is true, then what would they call this ... A MAN and A WOMAN get MARRIED BY FORCE, FUCK FOR THE SAKE OF CONTINUING MAN'S FILTHY LEGACY ('cause the MAN'S parents wanted them to). THEN GIVE BIRTH TO ONE OR TWO OFFSPRING(S). AND LIFE GOES ON, WOMAN COOKS AND TAKES CARE OF HOME AND CHILDREN, MAN GOES AND COMES BACK HOME FROM WORK. NO LOVE SHOWN AND NO TIME SPENT WITH WIFE. FOOD-BATHROOM-TV-WORK for the MAN. CHILDREN-HOME-COOKING-EATING-TV for the WOMAN. Looks like this was written in heaven. Remember, some of our own parents would've made love only once or twice in their life time. Mostly to create us. If we or our siblings didn't get created, then they must've tried a couple of extra times.

Our beloved Indian folks categorize marriages into two: Arranged Marriages and Love Marriages. To all those of you who want to learn properly, here's a lesson. ALL MARRIAGES ARE ARRANGED! YOU CALL IN THE CATERING SERVICE, FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS, et al. What, a love marriage does not have all of this? Please make this change to yer vocabulary. THERE ARE NO SUCH THIS AS A LOVE MARRIAGE. You fall in love and then arrange the marriage. You cant make love during the wedding can you? Teach yer parents, if they didn't know this.

India is the only country where fathers give their daughters to pricks and give them all the money and car and everything (which is called dowry and I still dont understand the true cause for this goat dung). This whole thing is like, a store-keeper hands over the product and the money to the customer. Think about it. One could go crazy talking about all this stupid cultural stuff. All this forcible marriage, most of it, originated only from the time the Europeans invaded this country. They'd make love to some random woman, give her a child, tell her they'd be back, but flee away. So whats happening now is, the father of a girl is being very pre-cautious. Pre, another word that I hate.

Love notes:
There is no energy like sex energy. Men, I'm not talking about HAND PARTY or SELF-HELP. You need a girl to make love to. Not a prostitute or a known 'HO! Fall in love, and be true. If the girl isn't faithful or does not let you express yerself, try telling her and hope she'd understand soon. Or if time is being wasted, then MOVE ON.

REVIEWS: MOVIES
Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix the movie, was a well shot/made film. Excellent work from everyone and every department. David Yates, did a great job in surprising us all with his movie directing skills. The only problem I had with this movie was, the story length was cut out, too much.

DIE HARD 4.0 the movie. TWO THUMBS UP. Director Len Wiseman is really a wise man indeed. Thanks to the wonderful team that worked along with him in bringing this titan of a movie to the theatres. It was good to see Bruce Willis in action again, after a LONG time.

REVIEWS: BOOK (NO bloody SPOILERS, don't worry)
Well, I had the most wonderful time reading HARRY POTTER and THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Not like those who'd say, "I will complete the book as fast I can." Do that to this book and all you'll be doing is only reading ENGLISH WORDS THAT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE AND MAKE YOU READ AGAIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. It took 6 days (not continuously though) for me to complete the whole story. Most of the time, the book will not allow you to shut it and put it away. So you will keep reading and reading, until you feel sleepy. Anyways, Happy Deathly Hallows to all of you, (Harry Potter fans). And we don't have to worry that we will not get any more POTTER books,'cause J.K. Rowling has told in an interview that she will be releasing an ENCYCLOPEDIA: HARRY POTTER. Not very soon, so we'll have to wait.

MY WORK: Designs have come up well, and the writing is going great. Only problem is with the publishing of the work. I haven't completely decided whom to approach about this. Anyways, I hope you all get a copy of my work some day. If only my laptop was working well, I would've scanned some of my work and posted them here. My plans of studying in the USA has been cancelled, due to unavoidable reasons. Although I do have hopes in making it to some other country in the world to learn the art of Film-making, soon. If I cant go, then we'll see what happens.

Things have been a bit tough lately. Father's out of contact. My love sang goodbye about 2 months ago. Life's been boring more than it did all this while. Friends, music, PS2, laptop, movies, going out for food, books, etc etc are the only things that help me feel good. Oh and TV too. I love TV.
So that has what's been UP with me. Hope you liked what you read. Until next time.

Currently listening to Ronan Keating's Lovin' each day, Robbie Williams' Rudebox and U2's It's a Beautiful Day. Give these tracks a try, they are very addictive. I've listened to these like more than 43 times each and counting.

A rough month

2007-06-12T18:17:00.000-07:00

Another month has gone by. Finally, I've got some work. Although the deal has not been confirmed yet. I will be meeting the clients in their office with a friend. If it's a done deal, then I'll be putting in the best of my art skills and need to flow my creative juices. Oh yes, I am gonna throw-in some effort.

(Read the huge following para at yer own risk)
I do not blame the people of my age in India, but most of our parents and a good majority of yourselves, are children of people who were LEAGALY RAPED. Dont get offended
just yet. By LEGALY RAPED, I mean FORCEFULLY MARRIED.
Yep, I have no better word to put it. India is the 2nd most populated
country in the world and the majority of marriages are only forced. And that too, between
cousins or nieces and uncles or cat and mouse. Can you believe it?
My advice to everyone would be, "EITHER FALL IN LOVE or
DO NOT GET MARRIED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S LIFE YOU SPOIL, BUT DO NOT.
I REPEAT, DO NOT STROKE THE EGOS OF YER PARENTS BY SUPPORTING THEM
WITH THEIR WORDS SUCH AS, "You are my daughter/son, I know what's best for you,
I will choose the legal rapist/victim for you". People who can't do this, to the boys, YOU CAN GO SLEEP WITH YER MOTHER or GRANDMOTHER IF YOU LOVE HER SO MUCH.
And to the girls, YOU CAN GO SLEEP WITH YER DAD or GRANDFATHER IF
YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
Remember, it's not a shame to be the
2nd largest populated country in the world. But it is a shame to have all this population
created because of legal rape. There is no such concept as, "WE FELL IN LOVE AFTER
WE GOT MARRIED". Thats fucking psycho. Lets make this change. Lets populate with
love. If you dont want to get married, then live together for each other, to the death. Or
if yer too lazy, then live alone dammit. (I dont think you can live alone if yer too lazy,
all the best anyways.) For those of yer parents who fell in love and then got married, you
are very lucky. So praise yer parents and love them more than they love you. For those
who were born after some love after the marriage, this is yer chance to live the way yer parents couldn't live. Remember everyone, life, you only get one shot at it. Do something really stupid and you will have to regret it for the rest of yer life. So, put that brain of yer's to some use, apart from showing yer smartness at work or education.

My days have been a bit boring, confusing, and "angry". Yes you heard that right, angry is the word. I'm in a very villainous mood, which I bet no one would have ever thought of. Some who know whats going on in my daily life would understand. The confusing part is that, WHAT MUST I DO NEXT? DO I WISH TO BECOME FAMOUS? FAMOUS MEANING,A HECTIC LIFE THAT SEEKS PRIVACY TILL DEATH NO MATTER WHAT, TOO MUCH MONEY WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN ME INTO A BAD GREEDY GUY, I COULD MAKE SOMEONE JEALOUS AND THEY'D WANT TO KILL ME. SHOULD I LIVE THIS WAY? If yes, will I get the girl who even made me dream about her? Cause, think about it. Earning a fortune every time or every once in a while will have to be put to use and that "use" cannot just be my bills, weekly spending OR savings. IF I AM TO LIVE ALONE, THEN THE MONEY WOULD BE FILLED UP IN MY JACUZZI FOR ME TO EVEN SOAK MYSELF IN IT OR I MIGHT SPEND THEM WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT.
SHOULD I EVEN BE THINKING ABOUT ALL OF THIS RIGHT NOW? So, now do you understand how confused I am?Anyways, there's more to this "confusion" of mine. There's so many that I could even have a party with it.

I am so damn bored. I am not even sure, whether I want to call myself a flushed-out man. Although I have a girlfriend, although I have so many TV series episodes to watch through the Internet, although my PlayStation 2 remote begs me not to drop it off my hand. I have this empty sensation that the lids to my vessels are not proper.I feel empty. So I try to find the most funniest things and laugh for hours, by reading, watching or listening to them. Cause they're so damn funny.

My home phone bills haven't gone over the limit. Which is good for the people at home, but definitely not good on my part. Even my brother has made more calls than I did, for the past few months. So this is bad news. I haven't been myself lately. I hope I am wrong. Cause I don't want anything but to be myself.

I have been relying on Internet too much to keep out of boredom, and cause of this, I've been overusing my heart,which I pity so much. It isn't getting the proper shutdown time it needs. If I use it at this rate, then I'm gonna have PROBLEMS. While the other half of me thinks that I'm too lazy to sleep or eat. I can go on, I guess/I hope.

I'm a bit shaken with the events happening around me. These are new, although I am not surprised by any of these events. Anything as big as a mountain is too much even for someone who has an invulnerability to take damage.I feel I have been exposed to the LIGHT too much. once you go BRIGHT you fear to go back to the DARK.I have been whining about this, but not in a position to decide. I am relying on SITUATIONS too much. Waiting for somethings to happen, when I'm not even sure whether or not will they happen.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was amazing. Great performances, great writing, great stunts, great visual effects, great everything, great film. Thanks to Disney, Gore Verbinski, Jerry Bruckheimer and everyone who was behind this film. Special thanks to France for being one of the major locations in filming the POC:AWE.

My comic book work is at its final stages of development. Once its done, I will begin to write the scripts. So after it's scripted, it will be drawn.

So many questions await us all, but we have so little time to choose from. And so little time to answer. And when choosing is a problem, we run out of tick tocks and that's when we begin to panic. The more we panic,the more shaky we get. And begin to think about the song, "My Milk-shake is much better than yours..."I know, that's weird. Well, answer this. WHAT ISN'T?

Sayonara, until next time.

HAVE A GREAT MONTH!

Well Well it is May 13 2007

Note: (mind not, if there are any "typos" to be found)

Exactly a month ago, I had created my blog spot at blogger. Now I'm back to post again. Just that I forgot to post anything all this while. My brother is working hard for his debut movie, which I can assure you all is going to have a new flavour compared to all the shit flavoured tamil films that come out. I am not involved in the film project though. How ever, I dont seem to be concentrating on my own comic book project, for I must've finished it by now. But will get things done, soon.

I have been even more confused about my future in these past 30 or 31 days. I was just thinking, if I carry on with MY dreams to enjoy MY life and get MY money. I wouldn't be any different from anyone in this country filled with 'lame-shameless-ignorant-lot-of-people' (may not apply to those who are reading my blog so dont worry, but if you feel guilty, then become good). So maybe if I gave up half of my dreams (so many) and continue my life with the other half (really complicated, and believe me. I know the meaning of complicated and I'm not just using it), may be then, I can feel superior among the people who live a stupid excuse of a life. Well, how many would've thought like that before, I bet even lesser than a handful ever did. IGNORANT ILLITERATE NO-BRAIN FOOLS!

Cartoon Network India. What a great channel. We are ten years behind compared to the programme schedules of all the other countries and they focus on nationalizing it more with naming a half hour or 1 hour slot time as "BHAAGAM BHAAG" or "SUBHA HOGAYE MAAMU" and play (classic) Tom and Jerry or Kids Next Door. NICE!

Karunanidhi is celebrating fifty years of safe politicky-dicky-tics-on-his-dead-rat! And I heard everybody showed up. puppeteer Sonia Antonia Maino and her turban-ed puppet. I just love making fun of those two. Hmmm, there seems to be less important things than celebrating 50 years of... whatever!

Some shows have been added to my fav tv shows list: 30 Rock and My name is Earl. Heroes is ok, but I am not interested in keeping up with it every week.

I am out of shape as ever, not sleeping in time, not eating in time. Drawing or watching Naruto back to back (at least 12-15 episodes a day) in Japanese, cause the English version kills it. And you-tube is my source for Naruto, but those lame ass losers are deleting the japanese versions. DAMN! The creators of Naruto however, have not lost their lust for the colors ORANGE and BLUE. I didnt want to mention it for a very long time, but... I couldn't stop myself. Anime/Manga fans would understand. However, there is no doubt that Naruto rocks rocks the chest. And even I want to become the Hokage of our country and uchitoru tomo sono bikko. [BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. CAUSE A DAMNED HOKAGE WILL BE ON THE LOOSE]

THE REVIEW
And I got to see SPIDERMAN 3 with an empty stomach, a show at 9am. It was really really worth the while. Once again, SAM RAIMI has hung to the top comic-book-filmmaker spot on my list. BILL POPE has done a great job again with his cam. Everybody did a spledid job. Although I enjoyed everything in the movie, I was celebrating when they had put in the team up of GOBLIN/SPIDEY in the movie. And was booing (without making noise) when they had to kill him, totally un-neccessary. All the bloddy indian film's influence I think, cause, while all the kids in America watch Saturday Morning Cartoons, the Adults spend time on Indian Channels to laugh out all their worries X( DAMN DAMN DAMN! And Kirsten Dunst was just, was just, was just. ^_^ Topher Grace really did a great job, cause even after coming home, I was laughing hard thinking about how well he portrayed what they had written for him. Larry J Franco was awesome. Bryce Dallas Howard was pregnant during the film, (NICE IDEA SAM or she would've looked like a leech sucked thinny skinny). Everyone would like SIDEWAYS the film if you want to see how well THOMAS H CHURCH (SANDMAN) can perform. VENOM... this was the main reason SAM RAIMI will be ICHIBAN on my list. Finally, TOBEY MACGUIRE and ROSE MARY HARRIS, simply put = SPLENDID. And Stan Lee was awesome too. (heh heh heh).

My worries for women stars in the international media of the United States has increased. As they are all getting older and older. (weeping with my TIDE washed underwear).

So, there we go, I had lots to say and express everything I wanted to, now I have a spoiler for the all of you.

...
Controller: Here, take your certificate.
Me: Thankyou sir.
Controller: (like a big king, he nods)
Me: One more thing sir.
Controller: What is it?
Me: (takes a deep breath and WHACK!)
Controller: (his glasses have fallen to the floor and holds the slapped side of his cheek and looks
in awe and surprise)
Me: You deserve more than this for being rude. And remember, you were never strict. Only
rude!
Controller: (still staring)
Others in the office: HEY! What do you think of yourself?
Me: I think I am yer mother's old boyfriend.
...

On the making

Hello and welcome all. This is where I can exactly share all of my thoughts on every topic that I have come across and will be exploring in life at the maximum amount possible. The most important thing right now (for me) is I'm creating a comic series along with another person called Swetha. We have created a set of names for the characters for our first comic book, and things seem to be going well at the moment. I've begun the character designs and it seems to be pretty tough. I don't want the comic to look like some tinkle or chandamama (no offence, even if you got offended, then try to live with it!). I want our comics to look as genuine as possible. Hopefully, I have got an artist at the moment and it's a she. If you wanna know her name then you have to wait until the comic comes out for sale.

I have recieved a job offer from a multimedia place in Porur, Madras. Damn, it's so far away from where I stay. I think I'll have to flush down the offer for many reasons.

A name came up in my mind for my comic company, but I thought it would sound as if it was some kind of a porn company when people begin to know, so I had to dump it.

And as usual, I'm having trouble, sleeping. Can it really be insomnia?

Well, this is it for now. Will be posting again soon. Thanks for reading. Take care and keep checking back here for more.
