Movies


Next week, Angels and Demons is going to be released here and I am excited. I didn’t like Da Vinci Code but I hope this would be exception. (Tailors looks interesting.)

Also last week, I watched Star Trek. I never liked it’s other series (in fact i don’t like any sci-fi space movies. Yes including Star Wars) but surprisingly I enjoyed watching it. And funny part was: Nick thought this movie is about X-Men hehe. Ain’t that funny?

Now the load shedding has decreased to 4 hour a day from 19 years 6 months back. So have to utilize the constant power…of course by watching movies. Also I want to read some nice books: Any recommendations? (Nick always recommends some thriller stories like that of Shidney Sheldon)

Around 10 years back, when i was around 12 yrs old, i had struggled so hard to watch one movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. I had spent precious 125 rs for a ticket though the ticket price was mere 40 or so. 10 years after, am again watching ths movie on cable (yet bloggin usin cell, :-) ). Then i had liked ths movie, now laughing at its fashion, choice of colors, and so many things. Hehe sometimes its fun to watch old movies.
Oh btw may be Chadni Chowk to China includes dialogue saying Lord Buddha was born in India, which is not true at all. He was born in Nepal. No No, m not trying to be nationalist but just advocating truth. I believe truth should not be twisted :-)

Well i must agree with critics, if you are planning to watch new Batman flick “The Dark Knight“, you gonna love The Joker. He’s awesome. Heath Ledger has brought the soul and life in the character.

From childhood, I never liked Batman so much. But i was always fascinated by The Joker. He’s the only second villain to be on list of my all time favorite character. (Next villain is Meowth from cartoon Pokemon :P . So silly of me hehe. ) I used to watch Batman Cartoon series just for him. And when the character was coming back, with Headth Ledger personifying him, I was so excited. I was desperately waiting for this movie. And no, he didn’t disappoint me. The same psychopathic cruelty with zero empathy, Joker takes your breath away every time he’s on the screen.

If there wasn’t him, i would have found very difficult to spend 2.30 hours in cinema. Hats Off to Ledger. He was my favorite actor not just because of Brokeback Mountain. He was brilliant actor. And once again he proved his talent. It’s too bad that he couldn’t watch this reception. I won’t get another post to remember him. **Silent**

Watch out The Dark Knight for Joker’s awesomeness.

Just finished watching Sex and the City movie. Will comment about movie, Carrie and her co. later. Now mind is filled with images of Samantha’s L.A.’s hot neighbour. His too hot body and the scene where he’s taking bathe’s making my mind restless.
RESTLESS. :-P 8-)

No more words.

Again watched Brokeback Mountain, and like every time, it disappointed me. I don’t know why…. I can’t find that emotion, that fire and that love between Ennis and Jack in the movie, which I find while reading the story. But still i watch this movie hoping, may be this time, i will feel that emotion.

Brokeback Mountain

Brokeback Mountain

Many people particularly gay community hail this movie and might be in the list of their favorites but for me, this is just a ok movie where I try to find the soul but fail.

The scenes:

  • Ennis comes up behind Jack and pulled him close, puts hands in his jeans and stands there for time and Jack falls into sleep in Ennis arms.
  • Ennis finding his shirt paired with Jack’s like two skins, one inside the other, two in one is much emotional than shown in movie.
  • Emotion of Ennis when Jack leaves after job finished at Brokeback.
  • Jack’s plan to get ranch and live together.

All these scenes are less powerful and less emotional in movie than the story. I don’t feel so much pain while watching movie but when i read it, tears trickles down. Again I read the story and I cried. Still their separation pain is hunting me and I fear, my fate might also be same as theirs.

Because of this bloody society, lovers have to face bitter consequences time and again. Why can’t it let everyone live in peace? Why this society objection to everything? I don’t know why this society doesn’t understand the true meaning of love. Why it tries to make laws of attraction and love? :(

“Oh, it’s a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won’t be free
………….

Society, have mercy on me
Hope you’re not angry if I disagree…
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you’re not lonely without me…”

Lines from: Eddie Vedder’s Society (Soundtrack – Into the Wild)

After reading the story, again i am frustrated. :( :cry:

Download the story : brokeback-mountain

Lost from web world for nearly 60 hours and now finally connected. That too from my office PC. Great! At least I am connected.
My PC is in process of recovery. Thank god only C drive crashed and my other drives are safe. I was worried I might have lost all of my data. So am happy. I don’t know what causes windows to crash, but am trying to learn it. And my friend, who is helping me to fix the problem, is too left in wonder. Anyway, hopefully by tonight, I will be with my PC.
And this 60 hours web-traffic was more terrific than I thought. So many posts in my favorites blogs, so many emails (And bad news too. We didn’t get the funds this time for our planned community work for illiterate women :( ). After spending around 3 hours of continuous and vigorous reading, now have finally succeeded in completing following most of the weblogs and other stories, including emails too.

And I spend these 60 hours mostly tuning to television. Too bad Federer lost Wimbledon. I was really really hoping he would win it again. And yeah, I watched latest hindi flick Jaane tu ya Jaane na. Though the story was told numerous times already and too predictable, I liked the movie. The youthful treatment could be the reason. Some moments are really funny especially Nasurinddhin Shah’s part. (Am still smiling!)
And this movie also remind of myself. Then I was around 15, I had my so called best friend. But after he fell in love, he totally ignored me. I was hurt and but I moved on. Silly of me. And this silliness is still there. Sometimes when I am all alone, and all of my friends are unavailable for obvious reason, I feel bad. May be this proves I too am human (Otherwise most of my friends consider me as cold-hearted man who hardly shows his emotions).

I wasn’t in mood to write yesterday at all. I was so pissed off because of Chelsea’s loss of Champion’s League final to Manchester United. I was awake till 3.30 in the morning just to Chelsea loosing?? No way Man.

We made so many plans, bought tickets and went to restaurant to watch. I was feeling so dead sleepy but still I hold on. Anyway PS was with me LOL. We went together and met other friends there. Match was entertaining but loosing is always painful. PS was also unhappy. He too was so excited but at last, we all Chelsea fan lost our voices.

And we returned at 3.45 AM and of course, my mom wouldn’t allow me in this wee hour. So I went to PS home to sleep and we shared the bed. I was feeling so nervous that I might do something stupid in the sleep. Well, hopefully I didn’t do anything because he didn’t make any remarks afterwards. But I vaguely remember touching his face and making apologies for doing that. I don’t know why I did so or I was dreaming. But when I woke up in the morning, a pillow was between him and me. May be I could have put it there as precaution or he did?? Don’t remember, but I remember that pillow was making me uneasy.

So I woke up in the morning and pretended as if everything’s as usual. I had office but I skipped and stayed home. (I informed them I was sick, so wicked of me hehehe.) Later he dropped me at bank because I had cheque to transact but shit, it bounced. My company’s MD had his signature incorrect. I was so furious, and I managed to make my MD sign again and deposit the amount to my account. Phew!!

And after returing home, I watched movie ONCE. Such brilliantly made and presented, I just loved this movie. “Once” is a modern-day musical set on the streets of Dublin. Featuring Glen Hansard and his Irish band “The Frames,” “Once” tells the story of a buske…(read more…)r and an immigrant during an eventful week as they write, rehearse and record songs that reveal their unique love story.

The soundtracks are so melodious and ear shooting, I have been hooked to it. Since yesterday, I am listening to its tracks over and over again. Now also, I am listening to it as I am writing. Some of the lyrics are too damn good and speaks everyday’s story. One of them is Falling Slowly which won Oscars too.


I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ve made it now

Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me
And erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing it loud

Ain’t this song so romantic?? Wish I could say this to PS. Sigh!!!

Here are some other songs and their videos. Watch them!

This one is called Falling Slowly


This one is When Your Mind’s Made UP

And this one is LIES.
