Hello... It has been 4 days since my last post... well, I have been busy (thats life at TAPMI). These were my plans for yesterday:
8:00 am: Wake up and get dressed
10.00 - 12.00 : Class
12.00-2.00: Lunch
2.00-4.00 pm: Movie: The Cider House Rules
4.00-6.00 pm: Movie: That Thing you do
6.00-9.00 pm: Movie: Omkara
9.00-10.00 pm: Dinner
10.00-12.00 : Fantasia (Distribution Mgmt)
This is what I ended up doing:
8.45 am: Wake up and get dressed
10-.00-12.00: Class
12.00-1.30: The Cider house rules (watched half of it previous night)
1.30-2.30: That thing you do
2.15 pm: Msg from Tanuj :Plz come to coll max by 2.30... lets wrap up the work by evening
Me: Okie... but I will make it at 3
3.00-8.00 pm: At Systems Lab working on Update
8.30-9.45 pm: Dinner at Food Court with A and A.... since I went straight from coll, I was sweating like a pig (Do pigs sweat???) and was in my jute bag (My baggy jeans... and oversized tee) while they were dressed to kill (kill the guys, not me)
10.00-11.00pm: That thing you do
11.00-12.00: Fantasia (Distribution mgmt)
12.00: Blogging and time pass
I read the book during MIP at Chennai and loved it. The movie has been adapted from the book in an amazing manner (as is obvious from the Oscar). All the actors have done a good job. No tears are shed in the movie and yet I cried a bucketful. The movie does not end the way the book does... I like both endings. The end of the movie potrays that sometimes; "A man's got to do what a man's got to do". Thats life.. compromises have to be made... even if they tear your heart apart. The movie has focused on Homer (Tobey) while the book focuses on Dr.Larch (Caine) and Homer both. The book's end depicts that life is not about black or white... there is a lot of gray.
I have never enjoyed a movie based on a book so much. When I was watching Da Vinci, I got bored because it was like reading the book all over again.... I am partial to Harry Porter and overlooked the faults in the movie. But my friends who have not read the book could not comprehend the movie.
Cider house rules is not like that... even though there is much more in the book, at no point of time did I feel that there was a break or missing parts. One scene blends so well into the next... Kudos to the entire unit which created this masterpiece.
The best thing about this movie are the songs... the fact that "That thing you do" is played atleast 10 times makes it a must-watch... otherwise it is ok... I was jumping (my kindof dancing) everytime it played.... I love movies where people have the guts to follow their dreams... so, what if they dont work out, atleast they dont end up wondering "What if I would have pursued when I had the time?"
Liv Tyler is one of the prettiest women in Hollywood and she has a figure to die for.

Last night I had an argument with my bestie (he is a guy). He has watched only one episode of Sex and the city and thinks it is crap... he could not comprehend how they could show so much sex. It was like soft porn for him. Now, Sex and the city is like religion (no offence to Sex and the city) for me... Guys only see the sex... What they dont see is:

Last night I had an argument with my bestie (he is a guy). He has watched only one episode of Sex and the city and thinks it is crap... he could not comprehend how they could show so much sex. It was like soft porn for him. Now, Sex and the city is like religion (no offence to Sex and the city) for me... Guys only see the sex... What they dont see is:
- It is about 4 single friends and their life. They are in their 30s and Americans... expecting them to be virgins is insanity... of course, sex is going to be a big and important part of their lives... It is about the relationships, the difference between men and women, the loneliness, the insecurity, the lifestyle... look deeper and these will be obvious.
- Samantha is the one who can have sex like a man (no feelings, just passion). She is tough but vulnerable too... does not believe in marriage and hates kids... she is either every man's fantasy or his nightmare (there is no in-between)
- Charlotte is the typical romantic girl with dreams in her eyes. She is looking for the perfect marriage... plays by the rules... (1) No sex on first date (2) No dirty talk (3) No wierd things in bed etc... But she is quite sweet and an eternal optimist, who always always always believes in love... no matter what.
- Carrie is the confused, imperfect soul. She is trying to look for answers and screws up most of the time. I really like the fact that she does not marry Aiden even though he is the perfect guy. She realises that she is looking for the perfect guy for her.... someone who is as imperfect as her, if not more. Arent we all looking for someone like that?
- Miranda is my fav. She is a lawyer, tom boyish, cynical and independent. She does not trust men until she meets Steve. Her cynicism keeps the others from flying off into their dreams. She treasures her friends and never ever dumps them because of work or bf. She can be quite insensitive and tough at times.
- Steve is the guy of my dreams... funny, cool, hep, reliable, completes Miranda. He is the optimist and is never bogged down by Miranda's pessimism...
