Watching the screen
Listening to: Gemini-hypnotised, Sade-no ordinary love, Sean kingston-take u there

Watched Dog Day Afternoon, Burn after reading and a few episodes of Byomkesh.
But more riveting than all of this was Lost, season 5, episode three. Time travel, subterfuge and meeting with the young Charles Widmore...ahhh...TV pleasure!

I used to love Byomkesh in my childhood and I think its an important component while I was growing. I used to get up in the morning at seven, (sometimes it was only saturday, then daily) to watch the Indian sleuth or satyanveshi, as he likes to be called. He was riveting, strong and handsome...apart from being clever. And Ajit, "mere saathi"...oofff....brilliant and just a bit short of being homosexual..Ajit never marries by the way and Byomkesh's wife is never a constant companion in his adventures. Anyway, I think I am relegating her to the shadows..

Burn After Reading is a through-and-through black humor movie. Coen brothers are good at being different from the run-of-the-mill types. John Malkovich and Geoge Clooney acted well, and so did the rest of the cast. A lot of anger/ire/humor is directed towards the government that ultimately doesn't learn anything from all its run ins..

Finally, Dog Day Afternoon is a brilliant movie about a real life bank robbery. (I seem to keep collecting brill movies...cant help it!), starring Al Pacino as Sonny. I love the movie's portrayal of media/journalism. As I am studying this at the moment, its criticism is all that I keep thinking of... The movie shows that journalism is just getting the story and that is all that I have learnt from the course as well. There's no in-depth analysis of why something happened...only in op-eds (which I consider are like 2-penny novels..anyone can write them or buy 'em).

I also realised that nothing beats Harry Potter fan fiction. Ever. (Yay for pairings and smut!)
