Junk.
It’s 9.00 PM ET and the intermission now.
No depth in the story.
Amateurish, boring, disappointing.

Kites Box Office 2 – Hrithik Roshan Peotomized
(Via iPhone)
Here we are in a theater on the East Coast for the first day, first show of Hrithik Roshan’s Kites.
Poor opening, we must say.
There are about 55 people in the theater.
Capacity of hall at Anil Ambani’s Big Cinemas in North Bergen (New Jersey) is about 238.
It’s 8.00PM ET now.
Pretty bad response. Just 55 people!
Pathetic for the much hyped movie featuring Hrithik Roshan and some non-name, unheard gal going by the name of Barbara Mori.
If the response to Kites is so bad in New Jersey, it’s likely worse elsewhere.
8PM
They’re showing Rajneeeti previews now.

I suspect, that you have taken it into your head, in most cases, that the matter is all, and the manner little or nothing. If you have, undeceive yourself, and be convinced that, in everything, the manner is full as important as the matter. If you speak the sense of an angel, in bad words and with a disagreeable utterance, nobody will hear you twice, who can help it. If you write epistles as well as Cicero, but in a very bad hand, and very ill-spelled, whoever receives will laugh at them; and if you had the figure of Adonis, with an awkward air and motions, it will disgust instead of pleasing. Study manner, therefore, in everything, if you would be anything. My principal inquiries of my friends at Paris, concerning you, will be relative to your manner of doing whatever you do. I shall not inquire whether you understand Demosthenes, Tacitus, or the Jus Publicum Imperii; but I shall inquire, whether your utterance is pleasing, your style not only pure, but elegant, your manners noble and easy, your air and address engaging: in short, whether you are a gentleman, a man of fashion and fit to keep good company, or not; for, till I am satisfied in these particulars, you and I must by no means meet; I could not possibly stand it. It is in your power to become all this at Paris, if you please.

Amateurish, thieving bastards churning out tons of crappy movies that no one except the South Asians and the Indian diaspora watch.
That’s what comes to mind when we see a reference to Bollywood.
But there are plenty of folks for whom Bollywood represents the ne plus ultra of entertainment.
For these millions, Hrithik Roshan and the Pak-loving Chutiya Shahrukh Khan are the presiding deities and Mallika Sherawat and Namitha their wank-off goddesses.
So, love it or hate it, Bollywood is here to stay.
A Matter of Definition
When non-Indians refer to Bollywood, they refer to Indian movies in general.
But the reality is a bit more complex.
Within India, Bollywood refers primarily to Hindi language films (these enjoy pan-Indian appeal) while regional language films (Tamil, Telugu et al) hold sway only in pockets of the country.
Bollywood – By the Numbers
For all ye Bollywood-crazed folks, here are some interesting statistics for you to chew on:
* Movie Tickets (all languages) sold in 2009 – 3.2 billion
* Ticket sales (all languages) - Rs 87.8 billion Continue reading »
Hey, whoever complained that Americans don’t work hard.
They do. By God, they do.
But just not the way you imagine.
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece in today’s edition on how small businesses are struggling with cyberslacking employees:
* In April, 57 million Americans visited a social networking web site from an office computer and spent an average of 15 minutes on them per day (source: comScore).
Given the tremendous growth of social networking sites like Facebook, we think the comScore numbers are a gross underestimate. Well, if you think that’s a big dent in office productivity it only gets worse. Read on.
* Porn on the Internet has always been a big draw. Right? 
So, is it any surprise that last month 20.6 million Americans visited a porn site from an office PC an average of 8.1 times last month (source: Nielsen). Again, a huge underestimate in our knowledgeable view on the subject. Continue reading »
Gosh, it’s been over eight months since we added some zing to your vocabulary.
Bet you fellas are all getting antsy over the long gap.
So without further ado let’s get you guys and gals started:
* Amomaxia – Sex in a parked car
Example:
The next time you are on a long drive from Bombay to Pune or Chennai to Bangalore and start feeling frisky, go right ahead and tell your squeeze in the passenger seat: Meenkashi, what say you for some quick amomaxia in the back seat?
* Acritition – Sex without orgasm
Example:
Is there a pain in the entire universe greater than acritition?
* Quatopygia – Erotic shaking of the buttocks while walking Continue reading »
