The Dark Knight?? Really!!
There is one thing about who I am that has always either irritated me or made me feel apart from the crowd. The distinctive inability to exaggerate. That is something I was never born with, and for sure I'm never taking into my grave. It always gets to me when I ask someone about, say a place or a movie and they blow it up to seem like its the worst idea to ever miss it or not go there, or whichever. And they never fail to make me feel like I have missed the greatest thing in my life ever. Now if it were true I would hold their judgment to high regard and truly respect their opinion but whether fortunately for me or not in most cases the outcome is always unsatisfactory. I'm never impressed by that place or that movie, at least not so much as is blown up by the person concerned. I never get it, why make something seem to be bigger than its not, if ever anyone asks me, unless it truly did blow my mind I never make it seem grander than what I think it to really be, and honestly I'm never way off my mark on most counts.
So I just absolutely hate it when people make me feel like crap for missing out on something, so when I finally do catch up with it, to my surprise, whatever, it turns to nothing. I just hate that, why build up something to be what it is not. One very recent example is quite simple the Batman movie, "The Dark Knight" . Now I know I'm commenting on this movie after ages, but I hadn't seen it when it released. I had seen all other Batman movies and I didn't think this would make much of a difference to catch up with later. So I let it be. Then I land in Ooty and people cant shut about the damn thing!! I mean come on, are you kidding me!! They make me feel like total crap for two months cause I never saw this film, and they go on and on about how amazingly great this film is and all that crap and I truly regret missing it. "Its got 9.5 rating on IMDB!!", "The greatest movie since the Godfather".... cut me some slack. So my friend gets this pirated version, and I watch 60% of the movie in his place a few days back (well he fell asleep and I was too sleepy to keep watching, not cause the film was boring, well cause I was damn tired so we paused it to continue later), and well its good, I mean I haven't seen it completely to really judge anything, but come on, amazing???? No way! It was not amazing for me! Not even close, a good watch I might say, nice to see in the big screen, and even worth your money, but never amazing!!!! What the fuck!! I have seen better movies out there, movies that made an impression on me 5 minutes into the film, and this was not one of them. My earlier judgment stood corrected its a nice batman film, and missing it will not kill me! Never am I going to get carried away by peoples stupid fancy!! When the hell will I ever learn not to get sucked in like this! I really need to stop giving people all the worth I think they deserve. Now how can anyone every judge a person to be cynical! Now from all my experiences (there are plenty of similar stature) I will have to filter whatever people say henceforth.
Actually I have at times experienced this great process happen in front of me. At times I have had the opportunity of going out with my fellow human beings and in such cases after we have been somewhere and seen something, I will have a moderate opinion off it cause it might not have left such a great impression on me, but the people who have accompanied me would not able to shut up about how great whatever they have experienced is. And I will be standing there gaping in complete horror and disbelief at the fact that this person in front of me was actually a psycho! And I here had happened to trust my company with such lunacy! Next time I got to be more careful about my company as well :S ! Yes so I have as mentioned experienced in complete horror, the unfolding of this great process in front of my naive eyes! Seriously a lot of people owe me big for all the emotional and mental trauma they have caused me for making me regret madly about absolute crap!!
