A Quick Update

Feb 17, 2006 02:45

Reached Bangalore on 13th from Delhi. Got caught in a traffic jam for 20 minutes at 11:45 PM on Airport Road; all contact centre cabs. It drizzled when I walked in to my friend's flat pulling a strolley, heaving a rucksack and cradling the camera equipment.

Oh, I hated Rang de Basanti!!!

Why ??

It was good till the time the story started moving back and forth. Crisis treatment of a character is exagerrated, and even though there was a message intended, it loses out in the confusion. I mean I couldn't stand the shit. It is something different, yes, but the treatment falls apart halfway down, badly done. IMO :-).

Welcome back! What about a Tarkovsky treat tommorrow and maybe on Sunday?

Tommorrow's screenings start at 10am with Solaris. You would need a membership.

Thanks Sajith, and I am sorry I am reading this today. Will the movies be on for some more weekends? I can't access the collectivechaos link.

Unfortunately, no. But Collective Chaos has screenings every month.

If you love meaningful cinema (I bet you do, since you read Marquez), you should perhaps join them. Try to visit the schedule page to know about past screenings :) The site seems to be down at the moment, hopefully they should be back soon.

Sure thing, I will check it out. Oh I bought Marquez's latest book in Bombay, you should read it, it is very funny.

My bro is gonna be really happy to hear this.. He hated the movie too and since no one agreed with him he was wondering what’s wrong with him ;)
