my favourite season's in the offing...i must watch Pather Panchali now...don't remember the film...nor the brishtite bheja Apu-Durga...
haven't been out in a while...not in the rain...rain isn't as much fun as it used to be...jumping in puddles has lost its attraction...i grow old, i grow old...
i'm dying to use my new KING sized brolly...it's rather drab though...there's no accounting for some people's tastes, huh
the last two movies i watched were without that connection...primarily because, Donnie Darko i was told was a funny film...well, it is hilarious in bits...but it's not a comedy...it's quite dark..Romance and Cigarettes was okay...nothing great....didn't enjoy/feel it much...

also, talking about Apu-Durga...i think Taare Zamin Par is a terrible terrible movie...it's unredeemed by acting (on top of terrible plot + script and horrendous editing: it was sooooooooooooo long) because in spite of the choice of the kid being great the kid couldn't act....much like the pretty kid in Life is Beautiful (which is a superior film none the less because of the plot, story,Roberto Benigni, production, Roberto Benigni, etc)...well, maybe because i don't go gaga (gagagagagagaga) over kids, i refuse to see what was soo wonderful about the film...i'm not saying it's his fault--it's the director's...if you want examples of amateur young actors who excelled (often they just acted in one single film) look at Pather Panchali, Ladri di Biciclette, Le Ballon Rouge, Machuca, Shonar Kella, Malena, Makdee, Malgudi Days (which isn't a film, but still) etc

PS: It's a Magic Brolly!
