My weekend

Bombay is a boring place….boring because I haven’t been to the right places…..boring because I haven’t been out much other than me going to the office….boring because everybody’s boring…..boring because I am boring….boring….borin…boring…zzzzzzzz

photo taken during one of the boring times in the office…..I have a lot more like this
So I got up in this Saturday morning,deciding not to be boring anymore…..atleast to myself.Therefore I decided to go to the mall and read the comics over there at Landmark(….because I can’t buy it…..doesn’t mean I mustn’t read it)….so I reached the mall at around 15 hrs and since I couldn’t find For Tomorrow vol2,I read Frank Miller’s 300(soon to be made into a movie)……..review..

300_comic.jpg
300 : The Book’s got good artwork(when good….don’t compare it to Jim Lee’s Hush or to Mark Waid’s Kingdom Come……this is totally different….good artwork compared to other Frank Miller books).The Graphic Novel tells us the story of King Leonidas and his 300 soldiers of Sparta on their way to conquer Persia .That’s how the name 300 came.All of us know the story of the Spartans;trained warriors by birth….yea by birth…whenever a male is born,he is checked and if seen not to be fit, he is discarded….just like that…like throwing away garbage,these Spartans are supossed to be hard hearted sonsofbitches .This story tells us about Honor, Duty, Glory, Combat and Victory….and Spartans. At the beginning I thought that the style of dialogues wasn’t right for thebook..but actually that didn’t matter,who knows how the spartans spoke English…(oh they didn’t speak English ,rite).

“…..and a man who fancies himself a God….feels a Human Chill crawl up his spine”
If anybody wants to buy it, don’t be heart-broken,face it now itself….it’s Rs.1267…but worth a collectible.

there was a scene in whinch the spartans where piling up the bodies of the persians and this Leonidas guy eating an apple…hmmmm…a tht….maybe I thought a more preferable scene would be him eating meat while his fellow spartans were piling up the bodies…or maybe him eating…human flesh..hmm heehee….(”sadist..sadist….reality check”…oh that was me speaking to myself again…iff u like my blog(what!!)..if u read my blog when i post any,there’d be some “self-spoken crap like these…so …don’t be alarmed….hota hai :-))
…..and after that I saw this movie….You,me and Dupree

Review :ahhhh…..it’s a kind of movie which you’d rather wait for the original DVD to release and then think twice or maybe thrice and then type ‘You,me and dupree’ in the p2p and then wait for 4 days to download(if you have a slow connection) and then see the film……after that if you get a film which you wanted to have always….and then you find out that you dont have space in your system and then you see ‘you,me and dupree’..shift+del

and the next day I got up early in the morning…..not to church……went to see “Emperor’s New Groove”(yea…first a comic n then an animated movie)….and ….

and yea thats me after the movie…

    HOLY CRAP!!! I loved the pics! Where the hell did you get that mickey mouse cap from????

    300 looks good man…btw whats wrong with Frank Miller’s drawings???

    Remember the Dark Knight? It was drawn like that to give it the gritty feel…same goes for Sin City. But ofcourse, Jim Lee is god! :-)

    @prestidigitator
    no…nothing’s wrong with the drawings….actually this one’s got a different feel…infact it’s got the feel of the spartan(not that we know the feel….but u know what i mean)….but iff..if n only if u compare the drawings,then out of the lot u mie like this the most
    the mickey mouse cap- i actually i didn’t get that cap.Renju came with his cousins kids for the movie.I just took the pic with it…..but I actually wanted one myself…then I thought maybe it’ll be a reason for my roomies to make fun of me…..now I regret it after seeing the pic myself
