Voila, Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto is on the cover of the Sunday New York Times Style Magazine (not to be confused with the more prestigious New York Times Sunday Magazine).

Just yesterday, at the Lincoln Plaza in Manhattan just before Robert Duvall’s much talked about Get Low started we espied Freida in a preview (trailer) of Woody Allen’s upcoming You’ll Meet a Tall Dark Stranger Continue reading »
Since we’ve just opened a bottle of Jägermeister, we’re hardly in a position to write anything now.
But we’re happy to tell you that we watched two awesome movies today in New York City – Animal Kingdom (James Frecheville) and Get Low (Robert Duvall).
Both films are playing at Lincoln Plaza on Broadway and 62nd St.
If you live in Northern NJ/NYC/CT, you’d be a schmuck not to watch them.
We’ll try and have the reviews up on Sunday.
Now, if you’ll excuse us our bottle of Jägermeister beckons.

Aye Aye Yippee Yippee Aye Aye.
Nice day outside, eh? 
Folks, we can’t contain our excitement.
Ha ha ha ha. 
Just had to share this wonderful news with y’all.
Smartsoft Violated H1B Rules
Indian software firm Smartsoft International, founded by Murugadass Krishnan and Shanthi Murugadass (Tamils??), has been royally screwed for H1B violations and ordered to pay $1 million in back wages and interest to 135 H1B workers employed by the company.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division determined that Smartsoft violated the H-1B program’s rules.
A U.S. Labor Dept’s Wage and Hour Division investigator determined that some Smartsoft employees:
* were not paid any wages at the beginning of their employment
* were paid on a part-time basis despite being hired under a full-time employment agreement
* and were paid less than the prevailing wage applicable to the geographic locations where they performed their work Continue reading »
How dare this bastard Suseenthiran do this to us.
Dai badava *#$%&@, unnae vandhu paathukuraen da (we’re gonna fix you real bad).
What the f*ck is wrong with Suseenthiran, director of the new Tamil film Naan Mahaan Alla?
Here’s our diatribe vis-a-vis this bastard:
* Did no one tell this bastard that Tamil movies ought to be unwatchable horror shows?
* Did no one tell this bastard that none of the actors in a Tamil movie ought to show even a spark of acting talent?
* Did no one tell this bastard that he ought to have picked Aishwarya Rai, Vijay, Ajith, Abhishek Bachchan, Vikram or Surya and then a la that heart-attacked, over-rated, super-flopped buffoon Mani Ratnam delivered a piece of shit?
* Did no one tell this bastard that Tamil films ought to look downright bizarre with vulgar song/dance sequences from Iceland, Machu Picchu, Malaysia and Mexico and crude comedy featuring Vadivelu or Vivek?
* Did no one tell this bastard with no Godfathers in Kollywood that he ought to have stayed back in his village near Palani and grazed cows?
How dare Suseenthiran flout all the basic rules of Tamil filmdom and deliver a decent movie.
The effrontery!
Somebody, get us our .357 Magnum. We’re gonna shoot this bastard, right now.
Suseenthiran, what a sweet bastard!

Of the major religions we’ve had the most exposure to, i.e. Christianity, Hinduism and Islam, there’s not the slightest doubt in our mind that all three are absolute balderdash.
Total nonsense.
Their insane practices, stupid prayers, bizarre sacrifices and mindless adherents drive us up the wall.
They merely offer solace to the dimwits desperate for a crutch from the conundrums, disappointments and sorrows of everyday life.
But of Jainism we knew little, except what we’d studied in History lessons in a distant era.
All we could remember was that it was supposed to be an extremely non-violent religion, had two sects (Digambars and Svetambars) and Mahavir was one of the great figures associated with Jainism.
Lately, we had the opportunity to renew our acquaintance with Jainism through a reading of The Nun’s Tale, the first essay in William Dalrymple’s new book Nine Lives.
The interesting essay details how and why Rekha (a.k.a. Prasannamati Mataji), a Digambara Jain and one-time Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha fan became a nun and a short account of Jainism itself.
Folks, if you are looking at a quick summary of what we learned, here we go – Jains are the ultimate sado-masochists. Continue reading »
More than one in five Whites in America now think Barack Obama is a Muslim despite our President having declared unequivocally that he is a Christian.
An additional 40% of White Americans say they do not know the President’s religion, according to a recent poll.
By the way, the number of Whites who think Obama is a Muslim has increased from 11% to 21% in the last 17 months (as you can see in the below table).
A mere 35% of Whites think Obama is Christian, a decrease of 15 points over the last 17 months.
And you thought the nut cases lived only in India.
Or is race the American equivalent of the Indian caste system?
Important Note
The Pew Research poll was conducted before Obama’s recent remarks on Continue reading »
