Movie Streamerz

What happened today?well it was elections for the self governing bodies and i did exercise my constitutional right. it was ballet sheets ;they gave me three papers , a pink, a white and a blue in which the name of the candidates were printed against their emblems. well that was it.

contemplating revising the draft of my short story. obviously it is meta fictional , a writer being the central figure and his centrality to this story is questioned in different perplexing ,strange situations. also i am planning to translate my only published story into English . but i am struggling to translate its title:' pusthakathil olinjirikkunna apakadanagal '.

over the years many film makers has attempted to portray heroes who hates women.they turn maniacs and a slew of murders follow.Charlie Chaplin the great too has tried his hands on this genre.(don't remember the name of the movie,but it stirred up an hornet's nest among the feminists and other women,and those who sympathise with women).IN INDIA KAMALHASSAN has played such a maniac in BHARATHIRAJAS SIGAPPU ROJAKKAL(RED ROSES)where kamal falls in love with many women and kills them.Another tamil movie of this genre is MANMADHAN by chilambarasan. AFTER WATCHING THE CLIMAX OF Quentin Tarantino'S DEATH PROOF I FELT HE IS TRYING TO SUBVERT THIS GENRE .THE FILM HAS A MANIAC HERO PLAYED BY KURT RUSSEL,WHO KILLS WOMEN BY LETTING THEM RUN OVER BY HIS CAR.BUT AT THE END OF THE MOVIE MUCH LIKE AN ANTI-CLIMAX HE GETS BEATEN UP BY A BAND OF YOUNG GIRLS.I THINK Q.T WAS UPSET WITH MANIAC MOVIES,HERE HE QUESTIONS ITS VALIDITY.

I ALWAYS CHERISH AMAZING CINEMATIC EXPERIENCES.THOSE DAYS I WAS DESPERATE TO SEE SOME MOVIES OF WORTH.ONE DAY RAKE INVITED ME HOME TO HAVE A LOOK AT HIS COLLECTION OF DVDS.IT WAS A HANDSOME PACK.AND I BORROWED IT FROM HIM,BUT BEFORE LEAVING HIS HOME RAKE INVITED ME TO SEE ONE MOVIE NAMED CINEMAPARADISO.HE SAID "ITS ONE AMONG THOSE RAREST MOVIES THAT YOU SHOULD WATCH BEFORE YOU DIE". I DECIDED TO ACCEPT HIS CHALLENGE.AND I WATCHED CINEMA PARADISO.AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE WATCHED IT AFTER THAT DAY!!!! (TO BE CONTINUED)

i like movie spoofs. a movie which parodies another. a sort of comic alternative. subversion would be the word best suited for it.Hollywood can boast of a plethora of such movie spoofs with FATAL ATTRACTION, SCARY MOVIE SERIES,SUPER HERO MOVIE, DISASTER MOVIE, EPIC MOVIE,MEET THE SPARTANS THE LIST GOES ON.MOST OF THEM RIDICULE THE POPULAR BLOCK BUSTERS PRESENTING BEFORE US THE ILLOGICAL SITUATIONS IN THOSE MOVIES AND MAKE US TO LAUGH AT THEM. THOUGH IN HOLLYWOOD ITS AN USUAL PHENOMENON WE IN INDIA HAVE NOT YET SEEN A FULL FLEDGED MOVIE SPOOF.AND THIS YEAR TWO MOVIES SET THE TRAIL BLAZING.THEY ARE THE TAMIL MOVIES - TAMIL PADOM ,AND GOA .BOTH MOVIES CHOSE TO DERIDE THE STEREOTYPES IN TAMIL MOVIES-THE LARGER THAN LIFE OR GOD LIKE HERO,SONGS AND DANCE SEQUENCES,THE STUNT SEQUENCES,THE MELODRAMA AND ALL. THESE MOVIES SHOULD BE GREETED WITH OPEN ARMS AS TAMIL CINEMA HAS FINALLY OPTED FOR A SELF ANALYSIS.AND IT WOULD OPEN THE GATES FOR MORE FRUITFUL EXPERIMENTS

THE OTHER DAY I WATCHED PAPPEE-APPACHA A MALAYALAM MOVIE RELEASED LAST WEEK IN CINEMAS.THE MOVIE IS DIRECTED BY A YOUNGSTER NAMED MAMMAS .THOUGH IT BOASTS OF A STAR STUDDED CAST WITH DILEEP AND INNOCENT DOING THE TITLE ROLES AND KAVYAMADHAVAN RETURNING TO THE SILVER SCREEN AS HEROINE AFTER A FAILED MARRIAGE,THE MOVIE IS A DISAPPOINTMENT. INNOCENT AND DILEEP AS USUAL DELIVERS SOME HILARIOUS STUFF WITH THEIR UNMATCHED FLAIR FOR COMEDY. THE STORY IS NOT AT ALL FRESH.IT NARRATES THE STORY OF PAPPI AND HIS APPACHAN(FATHER)THE NOUVO RICHE .EXTERNAL FORCES TRY TO DISRUPT THE BONHOMIE EXISTS BETWEEN THE FATHER AND SON AND UP TO A POINT THEY SUCCEED IN THEIR BAD DEEDS. BUT THEY TURN FRIENDS AGAIN BY IDENTIFYING THE VILLAINS WHO WERE BEHIND ALL THE TRICKY AFFAIRS. THE DUO OF INNOCENT AND DILEEP DOES THE MAGIC BUT IT REMINDS US OF THE JAYARAM-THILAKAN DUO IN VEENDUM CHELA VEETTU KARYANGAL , INNOCENT -JAYARAM DUO IN MANASSINAKKARE , AND NEDUMUDI VENU-MOHANLAL DUO IN ORKKAPPURATH . IT SEEMS NOWA...

NOWADAYS THERE IS RAINS POURING ON A REGULAR BASIS EVERY EVENING ALONG WITH FLASHING LIGHTNING AND TERRIBLE THUNDER BOLTS . THE POWER SUPPLY FAILS EVERY EVENING OR NIGHT. I FIND IT DIFFICULT AS I CAN NOT RIDE THE BIKE IN THE EVENINGS AS I USED TO DO IN THE PAST. ITS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE RIDING YOUR MOTOR CYCLE ON A RAINY DAY OR NIGHT. THE RAINDROPS FALL ON YOUR FACE LIKE STONES PELTED. WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FRIENDS ALONG WITH YOU IN DIFFERENT BIKES AND YOU ARE GOING TO THATTU KADA -( LOCAL FAST FOOD EATERIES OPEN ONLY IN THE EVENINGS AND NIGHTS)TO HAVE EXQUISITE FOOD ITEMS IT IS A PLEASURE TO HAVE SLIGHT SHOWERING AS IT COULD BE TAKEN AS PART OF A LITTLE ADVENTURE.

AFTER GETTING MY FIRST STORY PUBLISHED IN THE SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT OF ONE OF THE PROMINENT MALAYALAM DAILIES , I WAS LITERALLY ON A HIBERNATION. THE OTHER DAY I FOUND MY CELL PHONE DAMAGED AND COULD NOT REPAIR IT SUCCESSFULLY. I FELT ISOLATED AS IF I WAS IN AN UNKNOWN ISLAND. AMMA WAS MUCH RELIEVED TO SEE IT AS SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP ME GET SOME GOOD SLEEP, SINCE I CAN NO MORE CHAT WITH ANY ONE FOR LONG HOURS. WELL THE SITUATION WAS AWKWARD BUT I DECIDED TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT. I JUST TOOK MY PEN AND MY NOTEBOOK AND STARTED SCRIBBLING.A BLESSING IN DISGUISE ,HUH???? MY PREVIOUS STORY DEALT WITH "META FICTIONAL STUFF" WITH A FORM RESEMBLING SOME OF THE WELL KNOWN POSTMODERN FICTIONS. I WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO CREATE IMAGINATIVE CONVERSATIONS AND REALISTIC DESCRIPTIONS OF NATURE OR THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH MY CHARACTERS FOUND THEMSELVES IN.BUT THAT WAS ONLY MY NASCENT STAGE AS A WRITER, SO PARDONABLE,ISN'T IT? THIS TIME ITS THE STORY OF A WRITER WHO DESCRIBES SOME ...

well ,i thought i must put something in my blog basket;but i got nothing dear. LOOK I AM EMPTY HANDED,I AM EMPTY MINDED;THE HEART GOT NOTHING TO SAY, MY BRAIN OPTED FOR A SHORT NAP. I just wrote this ,to inaugurate my blogy affair . QUESTION OF THE DAY: SMOKERS DIE YOUNGERS, WHAT ABOUT BLOGERS !!!???
