The Dark Knight

Well there ends our wait for this years block buster. Christopher Nolan produced an absolute stunner, The Dark Knight, sequel to Batman begins of 2005. I was ( as always ) was so excited to see this sequel , though i had to wait 2 days to actually get the tickets.

Slick action? Check, Dark Plot ? Check. Maddening terror ? Check. Yes,Nolan has made a master piece. Truly unflawed in every aspect ! 

From Batman Begins original story, Nolan cuts out a deeper dimension to the story of The Batman. You just sit on the edge of your chairs the full 2hr 30 min movie which extreme and one of the most exotic actions sequences i've seen so far in any film. Ok ya, some of you can go on bitch about the length of the movie, but i dont think sane people wud have wanted the movie to end. There have been 7 Batman films in all, its really nothing to say or compare this one from the old ones really. Nolan has scooped out all the fantasy and comic look from the DC comics and presented the best look and feel of Gotham City and ofcourse the Batman. 

I'll do this in detail, so u can leave if not interested. ( Now ) 

I'll start with Joker, i had to start with him honestly cuz for the first time a villain has outshined ,outdone and probably out... watever the good guys. Ledger gives an epic performance who is crazy ass bastard who sets a new class of criminals all together. I could go on using superlatives for Ledger honestly with the most astonishing acts he pulled off playing a psychopath. Ledger takes the character of Joker to an absolutely new level which i guess even comics cudnt portray. The script is awesome really, every word coming out of his mouth is terrifying. But nothing is chillier than the smile carved out of razor from his dad and as the Joker says, " What doesn't Kill you, makes you Stranger ". His Black humor is death defying really. " I have a Magic Trick " .. oh boy what way to put an exclamation point to his character.

Joker's sadism is limitless who wants the Batman to choose chaos as well. " I Chose Chaos" as he says. and chaos is all what the movie is about. I no, but i just can't take these lines out of my mind. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman proves his point. He's one of the best serious actors around ! Him and his alter-ego go through flurry of emotions which have been shown . For the first time, Bruce Wayne is shown like the way a true batman fans conjures him - Intelligent, Smart, Quick, Strong and Planned.  In simple words - 'a Hero' and every sense of morality which surrounds the word.

Every (so called )supporting actors, Mogran Freeman, Michael Caine, all add small anecdotes through out the movie. But its not all abt jokes, its the typical crisp Michael Caine who purrs out of his sarcastic wit to teach everybody the lessons which they had long forgotten. Along with Caine, Morgan Freeman as always does his shit what he does the best, is Talk. His atypical tone of speech is something all he needs to put his 10 mins presence throughout a treat to remember really. --" Wait till you get a load of the Batpod " And oh oh.. not to forget harvey Dent / Two Face. Eckhart did his role nicely but what really adds to his character is the makeup or mask watever was that to make his burnt face. AMAZING. 

Apart from the movie and action, the music as always given by the legendary duo Hans Zimmer and James Newton. The whole background score is so dark which adds to the fury and rage spread on the streets of Gotham. The movie surpassed all its hype and fully deserves to be on the top spot of imdb top 250.

With Ledger who pulled an absolute rabbit from the hat, to Batman who turns from the white knight to be called the Dark Knight, You are in for a treat ! Its full of surprises you don't see coming. 

And just a tip, Just try to get it out of your dreams !!

iPhone saga .... continues

Down with viral, Dark Knight's already on its 6th roll now since the opening bagging # 3 ranking on the imdb top 250, missed gym , no classes. What else could possibly go wrong ? 

Batman begin's reboot -The Dark Knight is really making my weekend a big trauma. It seems like a "Joker's "s ticking time bomb making you watch every second's hand move and saying silently :- " Why so serious.... ". ( ohh no subject in the sentence, do i give a shit ? nop ) i just cant wait to watch the movie and specially what adds to misery already people calling me n telling, go n watch the movie.. !! 

The other upsetter of this weekend was the bizarre end to an excitement filled build up ( was the sentence parallel ? ) for an iPhone .. Ya.. am surprised to say this actually , but i got so roped into buying THE most talked about gadget in the world probably from the past few weeks. After so much sleepless nights ( for cd ) , the plan didn't work out. And maybe i didn't mention,our madness took us an extra mile on the road of insanity to buy the old 2G iPhone for 17k's. But i guess the jolt was an eye-opener for me on the shop and made me realize that i had the power to conquer over ( idiomatic ) my emotions and wait for 3G another couple of months ( did this sound like Bruce wayne ? ).

But now i've taken the pledge that the only phone i will ever change from my sliding sensation Samsung U600 (which was worth every single rupee) will be iPhone 3G. 

Ehh.. Lets hope it doesn't price out my emotions when its released in India.

Its rumored to be released on 9th of sept or maybe sometime around. So people, its time to 

, Suit Uppppppp !! 

∞∞   APPENDED  ∞∞

I just cudnt hold myself honestly after watching the video. The cutest video i have ever seen. just watch the whole clip. It'll show you the extent to which tech has touched us. When a 22 month kid can play nintendo wii, what do you call it ?  wait for a min.....

 Next Gen.. 

First Week at the Gym

Due to the previous efforts of toning my body went in vain, I decided to give another shot at it with a different approach. Joined gym with my friend Maninder this week. Having a contrasting body type ( he's all bones ) , we set on different schedules with different meal program. The motto of his program is, EAT ! thats it. Eat every damn thing he wants to. Well, ehh things turn 180 in my case, its all Salads, fruits, black coffee ( w/o sugar ) and egg white. But am actually enjoying my diet scheme and following it regularly.

Gym as such is not a new place but yeah, I never continued it for more than a month everytime I joined . Every time you go to a gym, there are actually some stereotyped set of people which you will come across in every gym on this planet.

Starting with, the instructor..

Instructor is mostly a short, muscular ( duh .. ! ) guy who just impresses you the very first day with his cloaked concern , and after that, he'll hardly give you time. Broken english, short hair and eye popping biceps is what the gym instructor all about.

Then come the guys with already bulging out biceps. These bulky bears lift 20 kg wt.'s like pen and walk as if they have plank fitted between their elbows and side abdomen. Watching them I always wonder , how they'll get married ?

Some clean lean muscular guys are the real dudes of the place. They work out, keep a watch on the girls on their radar and spend lot of time in front of the mirror admiring themselves. 

In between somewhere , people like me ( the newbies ) come. Who have to devote more time in the cardio section (which is supposedly the best place to be ;-) ) than in the real place. The first week seems odd in which people look at you with a big ques mark on their faces -" Who is he ? Seems to be a new guy. " You tend to be 'come and go' guy who never existed in the first few days. But as the days go by, the newbies are well settled and ready to give the same ' ? ' look to the new ones. 

Then, there are the fat ones who just look so exhausted as if they have been building the pyramids. Poor ones are made to run a lot and sweat a lot. With their presence, normal ones like us are squeezed in the middle of no where, which somehow don't let us fall off the inferiority complex bar set by the bull dozers and the lean machines.

Ok, ya am coming to "them" guys.  !!

Girls, well keep all the style fledged to perfection no matter what their weighing machines say, even the chubby bubbly one's will bowl you over with the brimming attitude. 

So what should we say about the toned one's ??

All the eyes of the gym are fixed on them, trying to sneak a view of the ongoing events, which might even involve 3-4 times reflected image from the mirrors all around. And when you caught eavesdropping, you tend to look tough with extra expressions on you face for the effort you putting in your work out [ I haven't been caught though ;-) ]. 

And ya, the gym also contains a very secluded place for a private time with urself. Any guesses ?? The weighing machine !! Every person stands on the machine I tell you, but whenever you walk by it, you'll find it empty :-). Weight is more or less like age, as the figure rises, the shyness to reveal the same rises as well.
