Salman Khan Sinking, Sinking, Sinking

Folks, Bollywood flop-Khan Salman Khan’s Main Aurr Mrs.Khanna is on life support at the U.S. box office.

A frigging disaster. No less.

In its second weekend at the U.S. box office, Main Aurr Mrs.Khanna came in at No-57 and could manage to gross a mere $36,549, a whopping 70% drop from the already dismal figures for the opening weekend.

If you go by the U.S. box office numbers, Salman Khan is the kiss of death for a Bollywood movie. A jonah who inflicts misery on both viewers and producers/distributors alike.

Here’s how Main Aurr Mrs.Khanna fared compared to a few other prominent Bollywood movies in its second weekend at the U.S. box office:

So You Thought Only the Indians were Stupid

Thank God for the Yellow Monkeys.

Well, it certainly warms the cockles that there’s someone on the planet dumber than or at least as dumb as us Indians.

In Huangping County of southern China, children have to salute cars on their way to and from school.

No kidding.

Think we’re making this up?

Read this piece in the New York Times of how stupid the Yellow Monkeys can be with their various asinine rules.

Now, before y’all take joy in the Yellow Monkeys’ stupidity, remember nothing, nothing in the world can beat the Hindu Monkeys slurping over their cow-ca-colas.

Watching Alien, At Last

(Recommended by SI readers Araj and Dr.Lawrence Kutner)

After many false starts, we’re finally getting around to watching Alien, the three-decade-old Hollywood space classic.

Alien is #47 on the IMDB Top 250 films list and also included in Yahoo’s list of 100 Must Watch Movies Before You Kick the Bucket.

The DVD we got from Netflix gave us two options for the movie: Director’s Cut and Theatrical Release.

We opted for the Director’s Cut (157 minutes), which came out 25-years after the movie first debuted.

As Alien director Ridley Scott explains before the beginning of the movie, the Director’s Cut version includes previously unshown scenes and some adjustments to the original movie.

Alien has been described by SI reader Araj as ‘neither technically nor narratively as brilliant as Cameron’s Aliens.’

Apparently, this movie was a big hit in its day for its then-novel idea of the dreadful or should it be dreaded ‘Alien.’

We have already watched about 20 minutes or so of the movie.

Commercial towing spaceship Nostromo with its seven-member crew is on a course toward Earth with 20 million tons of mineral ore when they descend on a planetoid to investigate a strange transmission.

The bumpy landing has caused some damage to the spaceship. As repairs are being carried out to the spaceship, three crew members get down on the planetoid to look around.

You may expect us to update this post after we complete the movie.

Update:
Were we impressed with Alien?

No big deal, folks. We really didn’t have any of those wow moments. Continue reading »

Woo hoo hoo.

We’re still not sure whether this is a positive or a negative.

Halloween costumes retailer HalloweenMart has announced this season’s most popular costumes for adults and children.

And Bollywood figures in the Top Five Adult Halloween Costume Trends for 2009.

Scary thought, eh?

Explaining the decision, the Las Vegas based retailer said pop culture icons like Pussycat Dolls and Slumdog Millionaire put this year’s “Bollywood Beauty” costume on the A-list.

By the way, this weird Bollywood Halloween Costume goes for $60.

Meet an Indian Heroine

Schmucks, we’re not talking here of those skimpily clad Bollywood things swaying their hips and thrusting their pelvis forward in one of those crude Hindi film dances.

We’re speaking here of a real life Indian heroine, not the reel-life Bollywood or Kollywood bimbos.

Lost Cause
Given the rampant exploitation and injustice in India, we’ve often felt the country is a lost cause.

Beyond salvage.

But some valiant people soldier on, trying to make a difference in the lives of the miserable.

A short while ago, on CNN’s Global Dispatch program we watched Christiane Amanpour interview Indian activist Ruchira Gupta, one of those brave soldiers.

For several years, Ruchira has been working hard to combat the growing problem of sex trafficking in India, particularly of young girls.

Here’s an excerpt of what Ruchira Gupta said in the CNN interview a few minutes ago:

I have never seen the deliberate exploitation of one human being by another as I saw in a brothel in Bombay when I walked into a little room, which was 4×4 and saw the 10-year-old and 12-year-olds sitting on the bed….and 10 or 15 customers a night, raped repeatedly every night.

India has an estimated 1.3 million child prostitutes, Continue reading »
