quote uncoat

having a B grade emotional life can really rake in the moolah. take breakup babe, the latest blogspotter to win a book deal. she got whipped by all the men in her life and in turn she lashed out at them online. result: her blog gets a book deal from random. now this is one thing i have noticed, people who are in search mode in their private lives -- no google doesn't have a kickass solution for that -- write amazing poetry, alternate between bedroom eyes and soulful eyes and if they are lucky write a bridget jones diary that breaks all records. wanna get dumped? you might just get rich!!

jeez...sweet november or what

it shall come to pass....

i don't know what prompted me to ask for exorcist-the beginning... especially after i had taken tom hanks'ladykillers. but that's me and horror movies. i can't ever turn down any of them. no matter how silly or how trashy. like the last flick vaastu shastra which i chanced to catch on my cable. it had its moments but the end was a hodgepdoge of bodysnatchers meets the others meets sensational sush. ok, so now i am deviating. back to the beginning or rather the prequel to exorcist. i slid it into the player at 10.45 PM right after the 2nd instalment of ZMZ Temple of doom. at exactly 11.45Pm i decided to end my ordeal. first i got scared, then i got chilled, 45 mins through the film i was convinced i would never 1) take a trip to cairo 2)pick up objects from the ground 3) laugh if i see hyenas.
one thing that really rattles me is the psychobabble that they use to scare you, what should be standing pointing upwards will be pointing down, kids will get possessed, and priests will kiss women.
also not to forget, heads will spin furiously like tops. that is what did me in in exorcist I. it was the scariest most chilling moment i have ever encountered in my horror film fest to date.

Boo!!

just realised i know better ghost stories than ram gopal verma...and they are not lifted from hollywood! ram ram

great gatsbyesque

just finished great gatsby... Fitzgerald's classic had been lying with me for four years before i deigned to open it and then i couldn't put it down. it was superfast -- i like --a jaded look at how rich playboys come to ruin in a consumeristic society where people love you only so long as you can show them a good time. the moment you fall apart they fall behind.
the interesting part is that this book written in the aftermath of world war II depicts the very same sentiments that affect today's --what do they call themselves-- happening crowd.
same shit new day?

all new

learnt a new phrase today-- all mouth and no trousers. it translates into "Boastful and without just reason".
E.g."You shouldn't pay any attention to him, he's all mouth and no trousers."

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

i just know so many contenders for the above description

coincidences

life is quite crazy, the more you avoid something the more it will follow you. its like this: if you don't like someone you can be sure you will see him or her on your next visit to an obscure spot. of all the hours on the clock, this particular person will choose the same hour and the same spot to come to as you... now isn't that odd?

cagey musings

a wow ending always makes a hit, i heard nicholas cage say this in adaptation and thought it was a very powerful statement. in his case he was talking about a movie script but it holds so true for life too. its the end that finally makes sense of the beginning and the middles...

sounds

my favourite TV serial soundtrack as of now: Boston Public on star world..it's riveting to say the least

from amsterdam with love

Close your eyes Think about your favourite song Imagine all of your favourite colours Think of magic and mythical creatures Open the gate to your imagination Step into your own fantasy world Remember old stories you used to love Think of your dreams Build your world No limits, no rules Only your imaginationLove your most impossible dreams As real as they'll ever get..
-----by Bijtje sitting in amsterdam who is tired of being mistaken for an american all the time

two much

the most bizarre thing just happened, found that a girl in the Phillipines and I are going through the very same thoughts at this point in our lives. it was hair-raising, i chanced upon her blog and found myself reading my experiences... 2 complete strangers, in two corners of the world, wow!! what if one person's life story was in fact another person's story too... what an interesting script this idea would make!
PS:and what if they should meet?

galeish

each time i see The Life Of David Gale, i know it is one of my best movies ever. yes am partial to kevin spacey but the movie is riveting and such an eye-opener.
do you believe strongly in anything to die for?
must-watch***

annoying

which one's worse i say
a) stupid person
or
b) workin for a stupid person
or
c) stupid person with attitude

good v/s bad

everyone makes films on good v/s evil, but isn't the good v/s bad theme far more riveting. i for one have just had one of the most eye-opening adventures of my tiny life here on earth. i took up a cause because i believed in it, put everything on the line, and i fought! the experience is doubly sweet because i am up against a "power". but when you fight with an urge in your spirit to just see justice for once, you can actually win. i must now run and see bhagat singh! i'm feeling a bit like him for the first time ever!

Ash v/s sush

Who is sexier Ash or Sush? All the intellectuals say Sush while the rest of the world prefers Ash.
I for one have always liked Sush :-)
She's not a hypocrite, adopted a daughter instead of a boyfriend and takes risks with roles!
I like...

sunday sightings

saw In America today, and found it extremely moving. everyone i know is heading there or wants to head there. you can understand the quest for a buzz- financial or emotional- but what happens when you are actually there and find yourself watching bollywood movies to feel at home. that's what most people i know do there. they wouldn't give shah rukh time of day here, but there, he's God! amen to that.

you are only as good as your last blog

hic; hic
since am now writing for a living, find i can't write for free. yikes!!

overrated

1. me thinks bdays are strictly overrated! just had one and found myself answering similar queries: hey happy bday, so what are you doing today, where are you going, how does it feel...?
2. watched shrek 2 and loved it.
3. also watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. the title by itself was cool, the movie even cooler.
4. am loathe to admit that i am beginning to like remixes. they r oddly entertaining!! some of them i mean.

when i'm sixty four

this beatles song brings to mind...that
Old age is the scariest thing in the world! there's nothing more depressing than seeing an old man living in misery and there's nothing more exhilarating than seeing an old lady blush. That's why it's so important to choose the right elements to spend the rest of your life with. If you're stuck with no love at the time your bones start creaking there's no gentle way to break it to yourself!
Life is the choices you make!

where have i been?

I ask myself when I returned to my blog today after a month? Realised I have been working my butt off. One day I am frustrated next day I am calm...but that's me. I don't go under, not if I can help it.
And what have I accomplished otherwise?
well, have discovered Yahoo radio on yahoo msgr, so am on it morn and nite.

then i discovered quentin tarantino all over again, have been watching his films one after another, reservoir dogs, pulp fiction-my favourite- Kill Bill 1, 2.

realised quentin loves a good soundtrack before anything else, also he loves to dance and loves abuse.

OK, so he's not perfect, have yet to meet a creative 30 plus who is!

watched Collateral and loved Tom Cruise as a serial killer. on the whole thought the movie rocked.
have also decided to do away with upper cases for a while!

also, have learnt an important lesson: karma does exist, you always get back what you give out.
