Spiderman 3 hit theatres in India. No, I did not watch it. Hence, this is not a review post. This is not even a post trying to gather junta to go and watch it with me. I have no plans of watching the movie.
Well, unless you can arrange for the Bhojpuri dubbed version. Who can resist power packed, spitfire dialogues like this one:
"Hum makad maanav hain, ud kar aayab aur tohar tetuwa dabaa deb."
Sheer brilliance!
I hope they also the come up with some title good enough to match "Ek Bandar Hotel ke Andar". How does "Makad Maanav, Bhagaaye Daanav" sound?

The Abhishek-Aishwarya wedding finally happened. After all the talk about Aishwarya being a Martian and being made to marry a tree and a bush and what not, to wash off the Mars effect. The public hysteria about the whole wedding was quite ridiculous. And even the media went into a full-throttle mode. Whether it was the insanely stupid Aaj Tak style coverage of the event, or the in-depth analysis and criticism of how it was a demeaning affair for the ladies in the Bachchan household, and to Aishwarya herself, and to women in general.
I don't understand, what's the big deal? Why so much attention? A wedding, who cares?

Another disturbing piece of news was the ban on FTV. That explains why Billu spent most of his time at home sleeping.
Suddenly, I feel nostalgic about the times I spent watching those lingerie (didn't even know how to pronounce the word then, bloody French) and Pirelli calendar shows with my senses on high alert to prevent the embarrassment of being caught while watching the forbidden channel. Channels like Trendz came and went, but FTV will always be FTV.

Microsoft planning to buy out Yahoo! (for 50 billion dollars!), Rupert Murdoch trying to buy out Dow Jones, some other company trying to buy Reuters' agency, Anchor switches bought by Matsushita, how could I be left behind?
I bought an All-Out machine to keep the blood sucking monsters at bay.
Right, bad joke.

I'm on "Mission IMDB Top 250" these days. I'm not planning to watch all 250, just trying to get my count up to 100. 28 more to go. So, without wasting any more time, I shall start watching 'Double Indemnity'.
