ajab 90s ki ghazab comeback
I am part of the generation that grew up on pure Hindi cinema – none of this new-age ‘finding yourself’ crap. It is the generation that venerates every immortal dialogue from Andaz Apna Apna. ‘Ai la, Juhi Chawla!’ ̵...
whats your problem, mr. gowarikar?
You used to be able to make interesting entertaining movies. Lets refresh. It won’t take too long. You’ve only made 7 movies. And managed to hit the slippery slope pretty well. But we’ll get to that. At least, unlike Kunaal Kohliiii...
there if no charge for awefomeness
Awefomeness #1: Whale watching in Boston. Pretty damn great. Watching the mother and baby whale play in the waters of the Stellwagen Bank is a little unbelievable – a sight not to be missed. The staff goes on about facts and figures and yada y...
what is my super-power?
I’ve spoken more than once about my games while growing up. The cape on my shoulders: the flight, the jumping of buildings in a single bound. The vines: the jungles, the swinging and leaping through dense trees galore. The battle(s) with evil f...
movie-shoovie etcetera
The ‘etcetera’ above is simply to assure myself that I’m not JUST writing about movies. Here’s the non-movie part of this review: The missus is in a foul mood for various reasons (most of them to do with me)… waitaminnit...
compulsive domain renewal post
For the first time in 3 years we actually managed to renew our hosting plan in time to ensure that the site is still up come renewal day. I guess that’s called progress. Welcome to year 5 of severeanomaly.org. Now, I wonder if I can actually st...
keeping in the spirit of sporadically posting random updates for the sake of it
Yes, I know that’s a long title. Looooooooong. I appear to have run out of things to say on this site. Every day is like a new deadline. Its been 4 days since you last posted. Its been 5 days since you last posted. Its been 7 days since you had...
just to get a post up here..
Guy Ritchie + Robert Downey Jr. + (my all time hero) Sherlock Holmes = I can’t wait for 25th December 2009. Damn, that seems far. Will have to satisfy with Ms. Fox bending over and, of course, Mr. Taratino’s next. p.s. Even in spite of th...
dev d: what should be india’s official entry to oscars 2010
From the sequence showing Dev come back for his lady love, and get caught alone with her.. to a sequence showing how he ends up on Chanda’s bed - Anurag Kashyap seamlessly paints the picture of Dev D. For most part of the 170 minute length, you...
complete wtf-ness
go to devdthefilm.com accept 18+ disclaimer. click on the aptly named ‘lustline’ (second from right, bottom of page). accept second (!) 18+ disclaimer. choose: hindi or tamil (for max effect). go: ‘wtf!’ p.s. dev d is anurag k...
age-old
having watched this, the question that i came up with is: what would you do if you discovered you were 14000 years old? [87 mins of sheer movie-enjoyment. to be taken with a huge dollop of imagination and open-mindedness. please.] more later....

i've always dreamed of making movies. really really making them. [...]...

where is my water-horse ?
watching a little boy dip, swim and dive on the back of a water-horse in the waters of the scottish lochs strikes a chord deep within. [...]...
lessons i’ve learnt from the movies so far (this summer)
against popular recommendations, i've watched both tashan and the indy movie. the urge is deep to make possible 'the tashan of indy jones', but i think i will limit myself to simple lessons from these movies. [...]...
words
Monty Brogan: Well, fuck you, too. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking...
trust me: not you, not me, and definitely not hum
'uuuu, meee aurrr ahhummm' warbles vishal bharadwaj, as silky white words flash up on the screen. trying to read them is pointless, there exists a world of wisdom here that requires true genius to initiate; much less understand. Further unnecessary ...
the lack of a title
i last posted on march 20th, according to the post below. which makes it nearly 9 days since i came up with anything to put on here. including tiny tid-bits about the porn stars around us; or maybe the fact that i got something new. which reminds me ...

a chúisle mo chroí
knock-out blow. get up. fight on. pounded in the ribs. fight on. knock your nose out of shape. fight on. keep on your feet. fight on. i’ve watched my grandfather fight on for years. he never faltered, not when he was made dependent on an air ma...
i could fly
when i was a kid, i could fly. i would spread my cape, swell my chest, and worlds would tremble. a jump, and i was afloat in the air. a duck and a swirl, and cloud formations would part. a swoop and a dive, and i would be truly alive. in the large be...
yippee kay yay, transformer
note: this can be construed as ’spoilers’. while transformers was probably the most fun movie i’ve watched in a long time - and i’m including the smart-yet-average 1408 - there were two points where it was all i could do not...
kaboom barabar kaboom
Mickey did not know what was to hit him that evening. After all, in the last 14 years, ‘McClane’ had gone to ‘Mickey’. The problem of hanging out with Ricky was that everyone else’s name started sounding like his. And Ri...

the lack of a lesson learnt
2 planes. 2 skyscrapers. collapse. ruin. destruction. the true horror of the incident was indelibly re-etched. i've seen how the plane was hijacked all due to the carelessness of america. they were lax, and they paid. but the price paid, was far beyo...
