you see it often in movies, there's some kind of a 'house party' going on, and the lead actress decides to just go to the roof/terrace to 'get away from it all', usually seen feeling cold hugging herself looking out towards the night...wind teasing her (generally blond) hair a bit, and here she meets the lead actor, who too, seems to have come here, much before her, to 'get away from it all'..they end up talking about things, and how their life sucks, and then one of them says something on the lines of :- "sometimes you just got to <insert cliche phrase here> " while looking at the other or out to the night..if they're looking out to the night, right about now the speaker of the dialogue would look at the other and smile....

here's the start to a beautiful romance....

now, that doesn't happen too often at real parties!! first of all,the reason you'd go to a party nowadays is to be with the people you came with, and there's no way the scum are gonna let you get away and 'lone' about on a creepy terrace (especially if you're a girl, come on, you definitely have more concerned friends than that!) and if one was so keen to 'get away from it all', one wouldn't come to a party, unless you plan to lone about and find someone...i don't go to parties without my ipod tucked away somewhere so if i need to 'lone about' i can sure as hell do so without getting absolutely bored...because trust me, nobody cares to 'get away from it all' when 'it' is what they came for in the first place...

this, doesn't really happen:- 'loner finds loner and they both live happily for some time' (im not too fond of the words 'ever after')

how the hell does a loner find a loner? if you're going to parties to find 'loners' you're hardly one yourself!!

that's why we love movies so much, they're definitely one of the strongest sources of 'hope' for generations of people looking for guidance...

i was inspired to write this after/while watching 'august rush', what a beautiful movie...i haven't felt 'smiling really wide', 'almost crying' and 'clawing with despair' in the same movie for a long time, and the music...ah...i personally couldn't keep my hands from moving with it like an impassioned possessed composer :) im not a 'prodigy' like the boy but i loved and felt whatever he did...I'd recommend it to everyone.

every part in the movie where there was beautiful music involved is etched into my brain and makes me smile wide thinking about it...im gonna be making some someday for sure, and this movie can be stated as one of my inspirations :)

<break>

so i wrote the above text, most of it...while the electricity was out (i have a laptop, but my modem needs power) and while i took a nap after writing it, i thought of a million other things...

why, does it so happen, that people say "i wish i had someone to talk to", this line is usually said by people who have had myriad relationships in the past and thus always had someone to talk to...frankly speaking, from the point of view of someone who's barely been in any relationships...i don't feel the absolute 'need' to talk to someone...it's not a need, it arises as a 'hey man this is in me i wonder what he /she thinks about my thoughts' thing....

most relationships, tend to weaken people, and they let this happen...always having someone around, always getting pampered...and then when you break up it's the hardest thing in the world because you got so bloody attached...and your 'pain' keeps getting thrown around at other people's heads when you're in their company, sheesh...you get conditioned to getting something and as the 'flow' stops you start acting like 'that's it, my world has ended', well man, you weren't always together, get back to how it was before him/her.

The phrase 'im gonna miss you/love you forever' is something even the speakers of which realize within a few months, that doesn't make sense...it's mostly uttered in a 'third person' format (im gonna love him/her forever) for other people to hear and go 'awwww', well most of the things you'd say to make others go 'awww' are bullshit...it's the human tendency to make other humans think that they're the best, the best 'girlfriend/boyfriend' in this case...someone who'd 'love their significant other forever'.

most of the time when you give utmost importance to the pains in your life, think about what you would feel if someone else was telling you about it, you're the only one who cares about and understands your 'pain', nobody else wants to listen, nobody else cares, and if you look into it, you might just realize that you too are just wasting time over it. most of the time. oh bollocks you'll never realize it....

i thoroughly enjoyed the book, and nearly loathed the movie. i knew they wouldn't be able to portray every thought from bella's head, it's nearly impossible!! the emotions, the fast paced complicated story, has been cut down to quite a mess...the book was, as i said, fast paced...the movie, ugh...not really :-S

i have to say, the casting is brilliantly done, for most of the characters...Edward Cullen and Bella specifically...

now about the book..in general...i love how she's shown Edward admitting that he's been stalking her since long...not very gentlemanly, but it's something i would do :) hehe....after reading the book something made me want to become a vampire, etc etc...the movie doesn't do the justice to the story that it deserves!!...so it's made it's money because every human female wants to see robert pattinson prancing around as a hot vampire, and it's based on a famous book...but come on man, im not saying don't watch the movie...im saying, do not skip the book just because the movie is out!!!

the book, was all about bella, the movie, has a few minutes of her talking to herself...the book, was like, being in her head...every thought...every little bit of emotion...how can they show that in the book? i enjoyed certain scenes inthe movie after reading the book because i know what was going on in who's mind, i don't have to assume...i feel sorry for everyone who's watching JUST the movie...you'll never experience what's meant to be experienced...

feeling bored? go watch a movie, any movie in the theatre...and don't expect anything out of it....

i went to see one 'delhi 6' recently, i was bored and didn't wanna go home...this movie made my day :) ....strange characters , funny dialogue...and a weird, no frills 'jump from here to there' story....it was hilarious how annoyed abhishek bacchan's character would get :) even in the most, erm...'serious' of situations...

well, these things happen :) can't deny that, people are stupid, they'd believe anything that's hyped enough, whether it be a 'kaala bandar' or a 'non maharashtrians are taking our jobs!' story....so, although the story was entirely made up, it was believable...atleast for me, i love getting lost in the movie's world...you gotta believe in fiction man....be a little less cynical....who cares anyway?? it's bollywood :) there's an uncanny sort of humor in everything...also, other emotions, there's such large amounts of emotion in these movies....also, the ending wasn't depressing, so i come out happy, and entertained :) and satisfied with my 100 odd bucks....

i would like to emphasise on the 'watch a movie in the theatre' part because it makes a huge difference when you're in a comfortable seat and don't have the option to go do something else, then you'll sit, and enjoy the movie!!! and try going for it alone...yes, in the theatre, alone....it's very different...

Wilson: but you don't understand this is the one couple that had their shit together!

Vivian: oh god, nobody has their shit together--
Wilson: they had their shit together!

Vivian: --no, we're all just hanging on by a thread trust me, might as well enjoy what you have until that thread breaks that's what i say...

i am absolutely moved by this:-

Trent writes, "As the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly self-inflicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over even more. A couple of examples that quickly come to mind:
* The ABSURD retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia. Shame on you, UMG. Year Zero is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people steal music. Avril Lavigne's record in the same store was $21.99 ($18.21 US).

By the way, when I asked a label rep about this his response was: "It's because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out - you know, true fans. It's the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy."
So... I guess as a reward for being a "true fan" you get ripped off.

He surely is, a man who's death would sadden me...

ah, also, i saw the movie 'snatch' last night, brilliant movie :) has some truly sticking moments!!

i love brad pitt in it! this man is so good in his run down weirdo roles! (e.g:- tyler durden)

for example, the pikeys (brad's people, the gypsies) wanna make a deal with turkish and tommy, and the deal is that they'll have to buy a caravan so that mickey (brad) fights in the upcoming boxing match, the conversation goes like this:-

mickey:-I'll do it for a caravan.
 Turkish:-A what?
mickey:- A caravan.
- Top of the range and all that.
turkish:- It was us that wanted a caravan.
Anyway, what's wrong with this one?
mickey:-It's not for me. It's for me ma.
Turkish:-Your what?
All pikeys:-His ma.

they say 'ma' like, erm... 'mare' with a bigger mouthed 'ay'

ok it's bloody funny when you see it :)
