Every one has their own taste’s and opinions. We all like different things, some are very open about it (like girls) while some are not (like guys). Most of the times, we choose not to speak about our “likes” or “dislikes” since it might “hurt” or “offend” the person in front of us or maybe we just want to be nice and not refuse.
Well, then comes “fictional Likes and Dislikes”. Things you ACTUALLY like but dislike it because its “un cool” to like it. For example, I love the colour pink. Well honestly i love it when cute girls where pink, if i had to buy a car, i necessarily wont go for it but you get it , i like the colour pink because its soothing and cute. Suppose one of my female friends ask me “ So Kenneth you like pink? “ I would be like “WHAT pINK? i hate pink its soo girlly”. But if my girlfriend dressed up with a cute pink top and tiny shorts, i would be all over her. anyway lets not get distracted.
The above crap is basically written to “diplomatically” ease into the topic of hating movies.
I am fed up of people hating a movie just because it is immensely popular (or liking it just because its popular.) And guess why they do that? To get attention from people. I am not saying that because you hate “Aladdin” means that you actually like it but tell people you hate it so you can get some attention… What i am saying, is you just hate a movie because you want be “cool” by being the FEW people who hate the movie.
A best example would be The Dark Knight. Some people just hate it. Why? Here is the most popular answer :
“Its over rated”.
Okay, so you hate the movie because a lot of people think its really good and you don’t?
“Not exactly, Christian Bale’s voice for Batman was stupid”
Of course it was, and so is him running around in his underpants but that doesn’t mean the whole movie is bad.
“well…eh..the Tim Burton Batman was MUCH better”
Okay..Tim Burton’s Batman is exactly what it is…Tim Burton’s. This is the Dark Knight, which was made to satisfy the more technologically advanced times.
My next favourite is Avatar. Some people are going over the top and calling it just a pile of “cgi sh*t”.
Why don’t you like Avatar?
“Come on, without the fancy graphics and the 3D effects,there’s no story to it”
Oh k, A very integral part of that film was the fantasy world Cameron created to help the story. The best movies, ex: Titanic is basically about the ship sinking and two lovers who were separated for ever. Simple story right? But why is it so popular? The visuals of people dying while a huge ship tore itself apart in the icy cold waters is what remains in the our minds. And those WERE visuals.
“Eh, Without the 3d, its shit”
Your right about that, without the 3D the movie wouldn’t be as engaging. But are you aware that every animated film that has been released in the past 3 years (along with some live action films) have been released in 3d. Why didn’t they do so well? Because Avatar almost perfected its 3D technique.
“well, its over rated”
Again we come back to the same popular “brain dead” answer.
Its over rated ,that’s why i hate it. (hey that rhymes..)
Finally the climax of this post, the movie 3 Idiots. I don’t know where to even start about this film. Some people just hate it. why?
No, its not because they think its “over rated”…its because “Its not realistic”.
Are you freaking kidding me. I still can’t believe people use that line to explain why they hate a movie. Is there a SINGLE movie every made which is realistic?
You know why? Because its boring, its not exciting, its not engaging and yes, real life is not cinematic. Saving Private Ryan was praised for its “realistic” portrayal of World War II, they interviewed a WWII veteran and he said “the war sequences in the film don’t even come close to the bloodshed and agony of being in a war”.
Films are not realistic. Please understand this. 3 Idiots isn’t realistic, but it courageously did something else : It used the film making medium well.
The Film making medium basically is “ HEy, its the film world, you can do ANYTHING you want as long people get entertained but don’t get removed from the story…doesn’t necessarily have to be realistic”.
Amir Khan is 44 years old, i know that. You can’t safely carry a paralysed man on a scooter, i know that. You cant deliver a baby and magically bring it to life by saying “AlL izz well”, i know that.
But i believed it while watching it, because in that world, IN THE FILM, that was happening . It was real. FOR THEM, the characters, the story..and i was part of that story for 3 hours in that theatre and i believed it.
Of course i can choose not to believe it and say its rubbish. Then why the hell am i going to watch a movie? I want to enjoy a world of cinema which allows me to escape my boring-engineering-college-life and experience a fun-college-where-rancho-rules!
If you cant let go of that reality. Your wasting your money.
Have you seen kids watching a movie? They literally cry if something happens to Mickey mouse or Tarzan..and laugh out and cheer as Mowgli gets his revenge.
That’s how you enjoy a film.
ps: Honestly, there are movies that suck royally, and those are the ones which you try your best to get involved in but the story just doesn’t let you to like Mangal Pandey.
Whenever i write a post for my blog, i am very clear bout what i am going to write and i usually dont stop to think…but damn, after watching Avatar in 3D… I just dont know what i could write that would justify this movie.
Well as Siddhanth said “The movies just crazy”.
Imagine. Your James Cameron, your last movie was Titanic, winner of eleven Academy Awards, the HIGHEST grossing film of ALL MATHAFREAKIN TIME.. so now, whatever movie you make next will be inevitablly compared to TITANIC.
And then, you get an idea. To make a Science fiction movie but then you realize that your story , your vision is not possible with the technology that is available today. So what do you do? postpone it ? give it up?
No.
You work, you invent, you go on to make sure that people can one day experience your vision. You go ahead and make a FREAKIN 3D camera that can actually shot in Three Dimensions to give REAL LIFE captured footage depth (3d cinema was greatly limited to what was created in computers ex: special effects, animated films etc..).
14 years later, 14 MATHAfreaking years later (the time it takes for you to conceive a baby till he/she reaches the 9th grade). He finally finishes his movie.
You know what? Even if the movie sucked, i gotta give it to the dude for just not giving up man. He could have easily done other movies, let OTHER people develop 3d technology and then make a movie like this when it would cost less..he dint.
I want to be a professional filmmaker, and its so difficult for me to even comprehend the drive , patience and vision these directors have. They spends YEARS together just to finish a movie. You know whats the worst part of making a movie? Waiting to see the final result. I now try to finish a movie in a day..let alone a month. But these directors invest millions of dollars and have to wait for 2 , 3 or 14 freaking years till they can finally see their vision come true.
As you have noticed, i haven’t written a review of the film, cause i dont need to.
EVEN IF you dont like the story, if you dont like science fiction , hell even if you dont like hollywood films…just go and watch it for the experience.
What experience?
The experience of living the story, of being in a world you only see in your dreams.
ps: PLEASE WATCH IN 3D!
Dont worry, this is not some rant on how “teenagers are wasting their lives on their cellphones” . My phone basically died, along with my contact with the outside world. The saying goes “You only value something when its gone” , ya i know that makes no sense at all….anywho.
It has kinda been peaceful without my phone (no offense to anyone), its almost like i am in hiding now. No one can reach me (well i was smart enough not to give my landline to anyone). Apart from creating complete chaos with my close friends, i actually was going about my day without carrying a cell phone. In general, not a nice experience, but loved the piece of mind.
Another important news is that….yes, I am growing my hair long. Well, its not a decision, it has already begun (Dramatic silence). Been growing it for 6 months now, and boy has it been some experience.
The most memorable experience was tying my first ponytail (it was finally long enough) but the problem was i looked like those chaka’s on commercial street (Well obviously i look prettier). The worst part is i have really thick , curly wavy hair (FYI i am a mallu) , but for some weird reason even though i look like a heroine addict from goa, i just like having long hair. By long, its coming up to my upper lip, gonna grow it till my cheek bone (reason i am not posting a pic is that you might end all relationships with me).
Damn, its so difficult to maintain it .., shampooing, conditioning, styling ,combing what not and still it looks like i don’t shower for a week. I used to get up every morning and look at the mirror and say “damn, what a stud”…and that day would usually go well, now i just run across the mirror and dont look at myself ..
Another thing that has changed is that now their are two types of baths a) Head Bath b) Body bath…when i had short hair, every FREAKIN bath was a head bath…now, twice a week i have my Head baths with shampooing and conditioning and my short body baths…damn, why has life become so complicated.
Another big change in my life, is now that i am actually driving around instead of using public transport..well, that experience deserves an article of its own.
My December holidays are going on, now holidays have a whole another meaning to them, basically days when i have no time to sit down and days when i sleep for 15 hours.
Will keep you guys posted, and thanks again for checking out KennyMedia (damn i sound like some news anchor).
ps: Since i din’t post a pic of me with long hair, a picture of Johnny Depp might suffice. I know, he is okay looking, but he has nice hair.
I saw an Ad on Tv, its for Enamor (ya, the brazier company). When i saw that i was like “What the..”
Cause honestly, Girls? We really dont give a shit if your bra “creases” are seen, or “somethings” sticking out…cause , we like you for who you are (Puppy eyes..and audience goes “awwww!”)
But thats not why i am writing this post, its related to that, basically i want to write about how YOU girls are taking a lot of tension and stress wondering bout what MEN think bout you and i thought its my Bloody Malayali duty to tell you….in the most direct-unbiased-ugly way.
Things girls should know to make their life easier:
1)Dont wasting time putting makeup, cause 90% guys dont like girls who wear make up…of any sort.
2) Stop wasting a lot of money to straighten your hair or ad ”bounce” to it, even though personally i like straight hair on chicks, but when its done artificially it a HUGe turn off.
3)Dont bother buying clothes from top brands and burn a whole in your pocket (more like parents pocket) cause unless it fits you correctly and is what you like, thats all that matter. Guys hate girls who dress up over the top , they look gaudy and that doesnt create attraction for us.
4)DO NOT PUT UP A FAKE ACCENT: i don’t know why you girls do that man? I will give you an example, there is this chick in college who looks nice but i heard rumors that she has a fake accent and that immediately turned me off. Then one day, i just spoke to her for a minute and it turns out she doesn’t have an accent and has a very cute “natural” one which immediately turned the tables for me. Girls i am begging you, drop the fake accent, we love you just the way you are.
5)Fake laughter: I know, you poor girls have to purposly laugh at your Boyfriends retarded lard ass jokes so that he likes you more. Well, honestly, guys dont mind if you dont laugh at his joke, but laughing in a very exaggerated manner is so freaking fake and we hate that more than anything.
6) Perfume factory: Ask any guy and they will tell you the best thing bout girls is how they smell but putting too much of perfume or absolutely nothing is a big turn off, so it would be great if you could find a middle ground cause you wont believe how an amazing aroma from a chick can leave us on our toes.
7)Talking to a baby: Oh k, i dunno if every guy feels the same way, but when girls try to be cute with me by talking like they are speaking to a 6 month year old baby, its PISSES the hell outta me, but i think that’s more of a personal thing for me.
8)Revealing a little to much: This was kinda covered in point 3, but i want to emphasise if your looking for the “perfect guy” who understands you, takes care of you and loves you from the bottom of his heart (ya, definetly not talking bout myself) then dont wear REVEALING clothes. But, if you guys are already in a relationship, then once in a while, when things are going slack, wear something sexy. NOT in public though, we guys cant handle guy checking out our women.
Well, these points are mainly written to stop you girls from wasting your time and money in hopes of attractive decent men, if this didn’t help you then i dont know what will.
Well i saw the movie Ugly Truth and it sucked..But this article is not about that movie, but kinda inspired by that.
I thought i would randomly write some “FACTS” about life, you dont have to agree with everything, but if you do disagree, then post a comment cause i challenge you i will PROVE you wrong, or your money back.
UGLY TRUTHS about your teenage life:
1) If you find yourself sitting alone in class for more than 15 minutes, you are considered a loser in class. period.
2) When your teachers are giving a lecture and doesn’t make eye contact with you more than twice, your teachers don’t consider you a very bright student.
3) Your at home, sitting in your bedroom and your Dad/Mom are trying to call you and they sound like they are calling an auto on a busy street, yup you guessed it, they don’t give a shi* about you.
4) If a girl you have a big crush on is talking to someone animatedly (smiling, laughing etc..) and you interrupt her by asking a question. and she replies straight faced in the most factual way without any sign of a enthusiasm…yup she doesn’t feel the same way about you.
5) If your friends decide to go out for lunch together, and they are trying decide how to split up and go in autos, and you are chosen the last…yup, your friends dont like hanging around with you.
6) If your friends are laughing after listening to a joke, and you just arrived and ask them why they laughed and they don’t bother to repeat it and just say “nothing”….sorry bob, they don’t like you.
7)If everyone in your friends circle doesn’t have a girlfriend/boyfreind or even a close friend of the opposite sex…then you wont either.
8)Your hanging around with your friends outside, and suddenly one of your friends stops and asks “Hey, where is
(your name)?” and you were standing next to him for almost an hour…you are boring.
9)You spot your friends at a distance and you go up to them and suddenly they stop talking and stare at you. Either you are very very hot and good looking…or they just don’t like talking to you.
10)You spend most of Friday and Saturday nights in front of the computer? …cough….
Well, i know what your thinking (damn thats cold), but consider this as a MAD magazine article and dont take it personally 
Have fun.
