For lack of a better title, well lets just call it Friday rant, and as I usually do when I have nothing to post on this blog, this will be just a collection of random notes that have stuck in my brain.
~ Why must every promo of “The Bachelor” end with “Dont miss the SHOCKING elimination!” byline? (Now that you asked, courtesy of the other half I am dragged to watch this. I don’t mind, though I watch it for entirely different reasons than my wife 🙂 ). The producers of this show seem to believe that every elimination is a “SHOCKER” and it must register with their viewers, so the additional emphasis in their promos. However there was laugh-out-loud moment this week. So the bachelor is saying to this girl about how they are not really connecting, to which the girl’s response was removing the buttons on her shirt, showing her assets and flaunting “I have big b****”. WTF? Thankfully the bachelor’s response was the same (as in WTF :P).
~ On a related note, why are all these “Bachelors” so rich, cultured, weepy, romantic, sugary, almost feminine, cute puppy dogs? Its irritating!
~ Last week my wife dreamt that I eloped with Rakhi Sawant! I have nothing more to say here…
~ Star Plus has gone to the dogs. I can’t seem to figure out whose husband is whose in which serial. It feels like I could pick up any random serial at any point and its very likely that the people in question in those serials are facing the same problems as their next door serials. Last I heard the Baa has officially taken over Bhishma’s “I-will-never-die” promise. The Nimmos, Annus and what nots have plagued this channel. (No, really, who names their kids Nimmo?)
~ On the same note, I caught a glimpse of Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. I thought I was watching a recap of the first generation family, and probably this was a repeat from 5 years ago. Heck NO! My wife says, this is the 4th or 5th generation (even she has lost count…). Must say, species in Balagi tele-land show a remarkable quality of anti-aging.
~ Wifey wants to create a new soap opera for our television viewers. She wants to call it “Iskaa Pati Uskaa”. I think its really appropriate for today’s times.
~ MTV Roadies. Now who the heck made this cheap crass ass cross breed of Fear Factor and Amazing Race. The thing is, its neither a race, nor amazing, nor has anything fearful. Its more like Big Brother on the run. Hell, its even worse. And Nikhil Chinnappa – Dude, you really got to shut your mouth and retire. I can’t stand this moron.
~ Mimoh Chakraborthy (Nimmo, Mimmo whats going on) makes his debut with Jimmy. Needless to say I am excited about Junior Guruji hitting the screen. He seems to have taken all the qualities that his esteemed father possesses.
~ Saw the trailer of Love Story 2050. Seems like India’s first futuristic movie. Only thing, the promos more or less tell me its The Fifth Element meets I robot meets Spiderman 3 meets Krrrish (hell no!) meets any-other-sci-fi-movie in recent past. I wonder how this pudding is going to fare.
~ In other news I heard a shocker allright. Aditya Chopra is back with “Rab ne bana di jodi”. OH GAWWDDDD! I thought Aditya Chopra was in a mental asylum trying to recuperate from Mohobbatein. There’s no justice for us. Aditya – no, SRK is really 40+ years now, so you know, he actually looks dumb in college kid roles now. Just thought you’d like to know that Aditya.
Oh well, that’s about it for now. More updates coming soon. Very very soon!
