A lazy Sunday morning, spent with a bengali movie

Sunday morning was kept aside for my works, but I shifted the schedule for afternoon and watched a Bengali movie. I don’t watch Bengali movies (am among those black sheeps who didn’t feel like watching “Bong Connection”). But this movie got a national award for being the best movie, well well but then Arjun Rampal got an award for acting, so………….. Never mind that, even my friends were going gaga over the movie “Antaheen”. So I thought lets watch it.

Lets start with the good things. Its great for eyes and ears. Beautiful visuals, beautiful music, it had some of my favourite chandrabinu numbers. And the ladies looked lovely in the Fabindia dresses( I guess so, am a regular in that shop). And??? And nothing. I am still wondering what was it all about? An investigating journalist and a celebrity police officer date in virtual world without even bothering to know each others name. And they fall in love like that….. One wonders, don’t you learn from your job? Its too risky babe. Lolz. But then there are more, there are couple out of love staying together ( that industrialist, was he a villain or a inconsequential side show? shut up u stupid girl try to understand the new age multilayered relations); there are couples deeply in love staying apart(that was portrayed brilliantly between).But I was left wondering what was it about? Unfulfilled endless relations (antaheen), or corporate land acquisition or media in Kolkata? For gods sake why did the girl has to die? Is that the only way to show a unfulfilled love story? That’s a stale concept that also without a reason. The array of emotional entanglements didn’t quite fit into the story. What irritated me most was the too many product promotions, that also very much on the face. A major part looked like an ad-campaign of a hair oil.
Last but not the least if you like the virtual relation aspect go and watch 'You have got a mail' you would have a much better time.

Something for my eternally "dukkhobilasi" Bong self

Its bloody brilliant

I am through the first issue of watchmen. Its bloody and brilliant. "The streets are extended gutter and the gutters are full of blood. And when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown” .........dats how it takes off. Hopefully other issues would not disappoint me. If they do i would let u know.Otherwise go for it, if you like dark humour,and if you are noir fan. And plzzz dont watch the movie before you read the book.

There goes the first post

Is it necessary to write abut myself?Hmmm ok would think abut dat later. I just created this to post some random thoughts.
I have an Obsessive–compulsive disorder, regarding lists (yup lists, u read it correctly). last weekend i collected the top 100 horror novels ever written (yup i hv them now),despite the fact that am too scared to read them. So i would read them later , donno when though. Now i am researching about top 100 graphic novels of all time. I would read them (hopefully) and would post my reviews. (how trivial that may b). Oh between these are no kid's stuff, so kiddos of the world (whtever b ur age) fr you there are Tintin and Asterix. I have the whole bunch can lend u if you wish.

Here goes the first target

1. Watchmen
It is a twelve-issue comics book by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins. The series was published by DCComics during 1988 and 1987 and later reprinted into a collected graphic novel.Watchmen was the only graphic novel to appear on Time's 2005 "All-TIME 100 Greatest Novels" list. Here goes the cover of the book (thanks to google image, its not the cover of my copy)

Ok so am off to read that, would let u know how it goes.
