For the Peter Jackson/King Kong fans

You should watch this clip of Jackson accepting the Empire award for best picture. LOL-worthy, as they say.

Why I like Dilip D'Souza.

Chip off the old block

So my daughter is sitting in the tiny garden outside my house, playing with two other kids, ok? So the eldest of the kids tells Rachu to hold her hands in the air. She just looks at the kid and doesn't do anything of the sort. Kid tells her to put her hands down. Same reaction - she just doesn't move. Kid gets irritated, starts off: "You don't know anything, you are a one month old baby. You don't know English". Kid looks at Sindha and says, "She don't know English!". Rachu looks away.

I drive in, park my car near the house. Rachu gets up and tells kid, "My father just came home. I am going to see him". Walks away, leaving bemused kid and a proud Sindha.

Brokeback to the Future

This is hilarious!

Softy, I Scream!

I think I am becoming soft in my old age. I've liked all the three movies I've seen on screen recently - Rajamanikyam, King Kong and now Rang De Basanti.

Flamebait #1

Neil Gaiman is overrated.

Brokeback Mountain

I haven't watched it yet, but I confess I'm already prejudiced against this movie. Is Brokeback Mountain a good film because it's a mainstream movie dealing with homosexuality? Or is it a good film, period? Are critics raving about it because it's politically correct to do so? Or because the movie is genuinely good? After the black sweep at the Oscars a couple of years back, will it be a gay sweep this time round? Capote and the cowboys could be the theme, for all you know.

Hmm.
