thats a rip off

Hollywood movies have always been a happy hunting ground for many indian Film directors and script writers. And Guess who was at it now.Its non other than priya who is the director of this new tamil movie called Kannamoochi Enada.And which movie was it copied from .. its Guess who.
I saw Kannamoochi Enada first and today as I was watching Guess who, I was like I just saw this movie recently ..The Entire script is copied and given a Indian flavor.In the former a white guy visits his black gal friends family and in Tamil its replaced with local castes.Even the number of missed calls that the hero makes to the heroine is copied.
I was so impressed with this director as I liked her First movie Kanda Naal Mudhal very much and not so now after watching her second movie which wasnt all that great and more so after I see this plagiarism.

update: as i was telling friends about this I realised that even the title was plagiarised ... Guess who -- kannamoochi Enada
adadaaa.......

Google Homepage for a movie

Oh yea it is . check this site Its for the comedy movie 'Be kind Rewind' in which the owners of a video store shoot famous movies themselves to plug in for the damaged video tapes in their store.This as u see should be full of sarcasm taking a dig at some hit movies.
The webpage resembles google search page and the graphics in the site is nice. chk it out.

Amitabh-- Rajni---Sharukh---Ajith

wats the link .thats a dolly.
Don-Billa-Don 2006-Billa 2007.
Ajits next movie Billa is hyped up now as its release date is closing down.
Ajit with his style,grace and histrionics shud be doing a good job in a supposedly 'slick' version of Billa.But for some reason i did not really like the soundtrack of the movie which i thought was average.lets wait for the movie...

Aggregation

Getting the news what you want, telling people what u know,rss,xml,atom,web 2.0---you are social networking .
Orkut ,myspace,facebook etc are more into people networking .Another flavor of social networking is the community news aggregation sites like digg where one can find people posting news,views and what not. There are quite a few 'digg' like sites which have content with indian flavor .some of the them are
Newzly,NewsCola ,ForumsOfIndia ,IndianPad ,IndiaMarks ,PutVote , IndianBytes ,Humsurfer

Some of these are good but i kinda found lotta masala news in most of em..

Online Textbooks in TN -way to go

As i was bloghopping I landed here which led me here.

This is a very welcome and interesting initiative from the Tamilnadu education board to have the soft copy of all the textbooks for the state syllabus online.Questions may be raised about internet access ,net savviness etc .. thats all there .But this move is definitely to be appreciated.

Words on the field

Everyone knows that Sachin blew the wind out of the aussies especially Shane warne during his peak over the last decade or so. And the aussie sledging literally bombed with Sachin and Warnie admits that.

"We tried to go after Sachin in the early '90s and he's reeled off a hundred just about every game he played, so we thought OK, let's have a beer with him and say, 'you're a great bloke, Sachin', and don't say anything to him on the field," Warne said.

Warne was commenting about the ongoing word wars between the Men in blue and Aussies and hes looking forward to our new character - Sreesanth..oh yeah we too are ...:)

SRK - packing the punch

As I was youtubing happened to see a Hindi trailor and looking at the lead actor initially thought Hrithik Roshan kinda reduced his musclar frame a bit and then on close look whoa it was the majestic Sharukh Khan . odamba semaya ethirukaaru.. I like SRK for his screen presence,subtle humour and he was always slim and wasnt a great dancer. In here hes different..

Blisssss

Walking in the sidewalk of a road with vacant lands on either side ,with the chilly moisture laden breeze that precede the rain blowing on your face and roaring sky with black clouds,the lightnings and thunders in the background. its bliss..

Its 2020 time

Here we go ,the world cup for the shortest version of cricket( if u dont consider the 10 and 5 over games that we play in our neighbourhood) has started in South Africa in a blazing fashion with the hosts beating the Windies in a high scoring encounter .
To cricket purists this is bullshit and a mockery of the game .But for the cricket boards its more money and spectators it is more fun and excitement at the expense of the pathetic bowlers .Yes bowlers get smashed around mercilessly.
In todays match though Gayle blew the chutney outta Ntini ,Gibbs's pyrotechniques brought the chips down in the windies camp..
not too sure how India will fare in this version of the game ..I have no expectations watsover ..
-------------
In this match , there were a bunch of dancers in the first row of the stands and were dancing to some peppy music whenever there was a boundary hit .End of the match I bet those dancers would have thought that this wasnt a great idea cos there were so many 4s and 6s hit by Gayle and Gibbs and they were literally dancing non stop throughout the course of the match.

oh sachin !!

The master blaster blazed away at the Oval today and powered one more nice win for India.
but along with the win came a shocker which read that sachin is hinting retirement at the end of this year ..
whatever good and bad that is said about him, for most Indian cricket fans Sachin~= cricket.There are a lotta people who watch cricket just for sachin..
To me " enakku nenaivu therijadhu lendhu" I am watching sachin play and every on field success ,gesture,feat of his captivated me and left an indelible mark.
So the very thought that sachin wont be playing cricket i .e he wont do what he was doing best is shocking to say the least .But as all good things do come to a logical conclusion this was to happen ..
tough isnt it ..
