Drona (2008)

Drona (2008)

I looked up 'the best Bollywood martial art movies ever' and I found this...

It seems they have a rather different perception on what's classed as martial arts over there, because this movie actually has very little martial arts. There are a few fights, there are swords and other interesting weapons, but no traditional arts; no realistic fights. Most fights are shown in the flashy angled way that only Bollywood movies can, and though they turn out good - flashy - they're not as much about technique or stunt as I'd have liked them to be.

The story is about a 'nectar', a source of cosmic energy, and our main character who's (not surprisingly!) the last in a long lineage of warriors dedicated to guarding it. He doesn't know about this, of course, but soon he is initiated in a realm of sorcery and mystique - he falls in love - and he meets his nemesis. And he changes, from a regular kind kid with some relational troubles with his fake family, to a real king! It's not a very spectacularly unique tale, but if you like adventure, fights and fantasy (not that much of the latter - but just enough to make the characters look pretty cool) this was a good watch.

 rated 3/5: not bad

When A Distinguished But Elderly Scientist States...

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I See The Sun Today

Actually it's been an eternal blaze of sunlight the entire past week, but today it's cloudy, I don't know what's going on here, in my mind...

---

So dark the world
I wake up too
I wake up noon
Too late it's true

I see the stars
Shine when I close my eyes at night
At times too bright

So dark the world
Before I find
The sun does shine
Behind the blinds

I see the star
Illuminate my face with grace and hey
I see the sun today

Week 21 - Long Week, Short Post

Fuck This Jam! Also, randomness, and an incredibly late follow-up on most anticipated movie sequels of 2012. I posted two movie reviews, and this and this and this. And that's what's been going on the past week! Here's last week. TLDW ... my longest part-time working week thus far, studies, website work for a couple of people, NG, some small updates here (apart from the blog), interesting culinary experiences (like Mangold), way too much sunshine (27C in my office room all afternoon(s)... I've been soaking myself with water, a spray bottle, wet T-shirts; all open windows at night), a little Oni and a lot of does and dues.

Figure This

What is not allowed
In the spot is vowed
What you got to shout
It's the time to move
It's a time to proove
What you got to do
That's a lot of juice
And you got to move
On the spoot it's lose
Yeah you've got the noose
What you've got to choose
Is a lot of blues
And you've got your truth
Yeah you got the truce
Yeah you're not the stooge
No you're knot is scrooged
