 Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state, sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today. Continue reading »

Chandni Chowk Collapses – Down 80%

Confirmed – Chandni Chowk a Mega Box Office Disaster 

Folks, God Exists. 

Yes, Akshay Kumar’s latest must-not-see movie of 2009 Chandni Chowk to China seems to be a dud at the box office in the U.S., going by the boxofficemojo estimates.

It does look like the audience has shown the middle finger to Akshay Kumar, Nikhil Advani and Deepika Padukone. Bravo.

According to estimates, Chandni Chowk to China’s opening weekend gross is a pathetic $651,000.

Oh, my god, the average gross is a disgraceful $5,008, lower than Bhoothnath, Krazzy4 and Heroes. What a shame.

And did you say Warner Bros. was distributing this movie…ha ha ha. A lot of good it did. 

Here are the Chandni Chowk to China box office estimates for the opening weekend:

An absolutely shitty movie in every respect, Continue reading »

We are starting a regular segment called Incredible India that’ll highlight incredible stories and facts that can only be Made in India.

Here’s a selection of some of the incredible stories and facts to come out of Incredible India:

* Two minor Indian girls were married to frogs in a remote village of Villupuram District in Tamil Nadu.

In a bizarre ritual, two minor girls, both seven, from the remote Pallipudupet village in Tamil Nadu’s Villupuram district were married off to frogs on Friday night. The ceremony, an annual feature during the Pongal (harvest) festival, is conducted “to prevent the outbreak of mysterious diseases in the village”.

The girls, Vigneswari and Masiakanni, dressed up in traditional bridal finery — gilded sarees and gold jewellery — married the frog ‘princes’ in separate, Continue reading »

Chandni Chowk Collapses – Down 80%
Confirmed – Chandni Chowk a Mega Box Office Disaster

Akshay Kumar, Akki or by whatever asinine appellation you are known, please slit your wrists (and do let the blade sink deep).That’s the only way to ensure you don’t inflict such hideous perversity on hapless viewers ever again.

Folks, no matter what you may have heard, Chandni Chowk to China is not a Bollywood Kungfu comedy but the Bollywood Rasta to Perdition.

To think we braved freezing weather (-13 degree centigrade in the Northeast and feeling like -19) to watch Chandni Chowk to China only to be subjected to 2 hours and 30 minutes (length of movie) of unadulterated garbage. Ah, painful are the injustices of life.

If you thought Akshay Kumar’s previous film Singh is Kinng was bad, Chandni Chowk to China is ugly beyond your wildest fears.

Besides Hojo (Gordon Liu ), there are three other villains in this movie – the biggest villain is of course Akshay Kumar for involving himself with and peddling such atrocious garbage to us; director Nikhil Advani for unleashing this monstrosity on the audience; and Deepika Padukone for subjecting us to a double-dose of her incompetence.

Not a Comedy
Truth be said, there are very few funny moments in this piece of junk.

Who wrote the banal dialogs that never ever sparkle. Oh well, there’s nothing sparkling in this entire movie.

What is in abundance though is amateurish nonsense.

Some people have surmised that the sophomoric screenplay for Chandni Chowk to China was written on the sets. Even that charitable possibility seems like a gross exaggeration to us.

For sure, it must have been a grand melee on the Chandi Chowk sets with everyone doing whatever they fancied and the end result turned out to be this grotesque nightmare.

No, there are no riveting fights either, Kungfu or otherwise in this stinking rubbish. The fight between White-Bull and Akshay was nothing short of torture. Ditto with the final, dreary fight between Hojo and Akshay. Insane rubbish.  Continue reading »

Consumer electronics chain Circuit City is pulling down the shutters and kicking out 30,000 employees on to the streets.

The ailing consumer electronics giant is liquidating.

Over the years, we’ve purchased many products from Circuit City including PCs, TVs, Cameras, software, CDs, DVDs, vacuum cleaners (they once sold that too), music systems and more.

James A. Marcum, vice chairman and acting president and chief executive officer for Circuit City Stores said: 

Regrettably for the more than 30,000 employees of Circuit City and our loyal customers, we were unable to reach an agreement with our creditors and lenders to structure a going-concern transaction in the limited timeframe available, and so this is the only possible path for our company,

We’ve seen so many electronics chain stores close – Good Guys, Computer City, CompUSA, Montgomery Ward, The Wiz et al. Less competition is definitely not good for the consumer.

Circuit City had knowledgeable employees initially but lately the stores Continue reading »

This Amitabh ‘Big Mouth’ Bachchan fella is a strange creature.

The guy just can’t stop bitchin bakwas (nonsense).

This clown can’t act. His son wouldn’t recognize acting if it slapped him in the face. His daughter-in-law is clueless in the acting department.

Bachchan Sr doesn’t know diddly about the movie business (or for that matter politics, organizing shows et al either).

Bachchan Sr profits from theft. Some of the movies Bachchan features in like Ek Ajnabee, Hum Kissi Se Kum Nahin, God Tussi Great Ho are outright theft of Hollywood movies.

Yet this shameless Bachchan bozo goes around bitchin bakwas about stuff he knows nothing about. 

This time the Bachchan bakwas is about Slumdog Millionaire, one of the finest movies to come out of India in recent years.

Here’s an excerpt from Bachchan’s blog on Slumdog Millionaire:

If SM projects India as Third World dirty under belly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among Continue reading »
