Ouch!

This is a general comment. Past few days have been a whirlpool for me, with a math test (I gave that today), and an order from Ye Schoole Managemente High Bovine that I need to head a team to make the school’s annual day video. Also, I (sort of) broke my thumb today in the line of fire.

Now it’s a fact that I actively participate in extra-curricular and no-curricular activities. There are SOME times though when the student inside me awakens from its stupor and tries to convince me to study. Exactly at those moments, some important work drops in, and starts the whole life-cycle of miss-classes-get-into-trouble thing.

My math test went pretty okay, with blessings (rather, a LOT of guidance) from the Almighty Benevolent Note-Giving and Doubt-Clearing Goddess. I’d have been rrreeeeaaaaalllll big trouble with the math teacher (‘…yer ALWAYS missing classes…), and at home (‘…have you studied in 2007, or 2006 for that matter…’). Thankfully, I think I did okay, but then, I’ve a highly active imagination.

I now have to make a video for the school’s annual day, because they really liked the Code Wars video. Trying to think up something for that, and make a good one. The last video the school got made, apparently from some ‘professionals’, was so damn boring that I almost fell asleep. I’ll try to make something better this time.

In other news, you may find less posts from me because:

  1. I’ve broken my thumb. That nutty Rach thought my hand was some squishy toy and closed a door when I was standing near it. He should watch out, an ‘accident’ may happen with soon.
  2. I’ve WORK to do aka making vidddeos and not studying, and attempting to catch up later.

Christopher Nolan

An unfinished post by Rach that’s been lying around for a month, and then, he got bored…

First of all, I’d like to blast the people who decide what English movies to release in India. They almost always think about money and thus, only big banner, big budget and star studded movies are released. No problem with thinking about money, but once in a while, content should also be thought of. Not only that, the media is also pretty inept at finding good international movies for reviews. Nevertheless, I expected people with a wee bit sense about movies to check out good movies on the net.

So, it was came as a total shock to me to learn that our very own Great Quizzard hadn’t heard of Christopher Nolan. The west hails him as ‘The master of suspense and deception’ and all his movies are critically acclaimed. Having even directed a blockbuster like Batman Begins, you’d expect people to have heard about him and distributors showing some zest in releasing his latest movie. But no, his latest, ‘The Prestige’ seems to have hit a brick wall and there are many indications that it might not be released in India.

Christopher’s first full length movie was ‘The Following’, but with ‘Memento’, he garnered much acclaim. Based on his brother’s (Jonathan Nolan) short story, Memento Mori, the low budget movie had a higher per screen revenue than the big budgeted ‘Pearl Harbor’. It introduced the audience to a new breed of cinema where the mind could not be left at home. Most people watched the movie 2-3 times and according to them, each time they found some new aspect about the movie.

Chris Nolan Sucks!!!
