This is the pits! Really. If you haven't realized it yet, just open your eyes wider.

This has been going on in Jamia Milia Islamia University since the encounter happened in its vicinity. Last night I found out that some professors from Jamia's Mass Communication Research Center (the best film school in India at present) have organized a cultural festival to remind everyone about the heritage of harmony that is present in Jamia since many many years. Also, I found out that Mushirul Hassan, Jamia's Vice Chancellor, did this very reasonable thing, and got this in return. 

FUNM

I just watched Shut Up and Sing - MUST MUST WATCH - especially if you don't get the four letter word up there ;)

I also saw this a couple of days back. Love the song. The film...umm, not so much. The narration is annoying (really annoying)! I think this is a new development - me not enjoying narration. I think I'll have to go back and look at Woody Allen's films again - just to see if I dislike the narration as much as I did in this one. The acting was bad in the first half an hour - they took some time to warm up I guess. Javier Bardem is quite good - but nothing beats the fiery Penelope Cruz! I love her character - and she is SO HOT! I think the film tried to be Almodovar-like, in terms of making the absurd believable, but didn't come anywhere close to it. Go for it, if only for Penelope's sake :P

Okay, I just can't stop myself - here's the trailer:

And here she is...

I also saw Kidnap last night. Not the best in Bollywood - but quite decent. I like 

Minisha Lamba, Imran Khan, and Sanjay Dutt, so maybe I'm being biased here, 

but I thought the story was interesting and sort of original - unless I missed out on 

the Hollywood original :) Watching a new release on the laptop is never fun - but I 

was hooked through most of it, minus the songs. I'm curious to see what Imran does

next. Did you realize that the font changed after Cruz descended? I didn't do it. 

Blogger is going crazy. No more Penelope from now on! Bad, bad blogger.

Wow! I had quite a mood swing in this one - from the pits to 

Penelope. Anyone think I need counseling?
