Not a bad list...

Not bad at all, although some I'm not very sure of. 

The one right in the middle, which I'm assuming is the one is most recommended, is also the one that I recommend the most and is my one recommendation, should you ask me.

Heh.

Brilliance.

From Quirkyalone Musings: Luscious:

Desolate to delicious in four sentences; genius!

“When I am sad and weary,
When I think all hope has gone,
When I walk along High Holborn,
I think of you with nothing on.”

The Man with no Acting Skills

I had some high hopes from The Man with the Iron Fists.

I mean, with trailers like this, wouldn't you?

I finally caught it yesterday. The movie is horrifyingly disappointing. The lead 'actor' RZA is so bad that he makes Batista look Oscar-worthy. And Russell Crowe is so fat he looks like Mohanlal. Lucy Liu is plain irritating barring one good fight scene at the end. A perfect waste of time. Watch the trailer, it has ALL the good things the movie contains, packaged much better and save yourselves an hour-and-a-half.

I guess that's all I have to say about that.

Shots

How many shots do you get?

First shot, I gave it my all, although it wasn't what I wanted. They wrote my name and then cut it. I didn't mind (that much).

Second shot, I knew I wasn't what they wanted, but I gave it a shot anyway. They wanted me, but I refused. They didn't mind. I didn't mind either because I knew, after two, the third was coming. It would just be a matter of time. And I would be ready.

I didn't expect it to come so soon. And I sure as hell didn't expect to turn down the offer at the shot barely seconds into being offered it. It was disconcerting, but again, what they offered wasn't what I wanted.

And so I wait, for the next one to come along...

Hungerpath...

I finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy at a break-neck pace last week. I'd have liked it even more than I did if not for the fact that it followed my reading of A Song of Ice and Fire. Its good, but its just not that good. But I can definitely see its appeal for a 'young adult' audience, although my main complaint with Katniss is that most of the time, she simply doesn't do anything! Read the book and tell me I'm wrong. But yeah, she's a super-woman compared to Bella, so I guess its not all that bad. 

My major take-away from the book is this: Katniss Everdeen is a female Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. 

Don't believe me? Here:

President Snow on Katniss (Book Two): Katniss Everdeen, the girl who was on fire, you have provided a spark that, left unattended, may grow to an inferno that destroys Panem.

Anna Shetty on Vijay: Dekho. Socho. Yeh chokra aaj chingari hai. Kal bada bankar hum sabko zinda jala diya toh kya karenge?

Any questions?
