Catch 22

It's a headache. Yeah, just a bloody headache. Being a productive has always been a 'thing' for me. I just wanna do things that are well, good. You see, it's has been bloody sickening when you know you got to do something, but you just can't.



Folks, no matter how hard you try, you fail. On no, wait, c'mon now, that's not true. You got to keep coming back up, pick yourself up, and fight. Unfortunately, there's a catch, it's not fair. Who told you anyway, that life was fair?



No, please, for god's sake, I know, it's a little depressing, on the brink of wanting to just swear at me, and say, " C'mon-lah, dude, why is your life so sad? Got to cheer up," . I like that, I've seen that enthusiasm, in the people around me. I feel proud, for knowing that they in turn can prove me wrong about how low life can be.



So, someone tells you that you suck, you look like sh**. I just tell myself, you gotta deal with it.. who cares what they think? But somewhere deep inside, you know that you really look like crap. I start thinking, why can't I look like that guy over there, with those tight abs, gorgeous face? I know, I know, if you keep comparing yourself with others, you'll never be satisfied. Yeah, gotta keep your chin up, don't judge yourself too much. Life's got to move on, babe. To all you folks out there, come, share with me, have you been judged before? And you feel like you wanna just cry, and hide in a corner? Join the club, don't worry, at least you know that things could have been worse.



Besides, it's like they said," Who cares about what them thinking?".

Review of The Week!

Movie : The Avengers (2012)

Awe-inducing, funny and action-packed, this could be the superhero movie of the year (not that there are many).



It is unusual for directors to modify the genre of superhero movies. To be precise, if we are looking for some popcorn entertainment, Joss Whedon could have easily turned this into a full-blown alien-versus-superhero affair (that actually would not be too bad). Interestingly to note however, he does not. With an affinity to blend action scenes with tongue-in-cheek humor, he balances the tone of the movie to be both rewarding and most definitely, superhero-themed.

There are plenty of noteworthy things you can brag about this movie. The cinematography, the script, the visuals, the cast, the production design. Surely though, there would be one or two flaws, but they are not really meant to be called 'flaws' per se. Bending the laws of physics, 'saving the world' is saving the US and how Hulk manages to comply to orders are just some of the minor 'flaws'. These are probably things that you would just like to ignore for the sake of giving the director the benefit of the doubt.

It is quite evident that Whedon has made this film his own. He incorporates humor into almost every scene, as if things are not to be taken too seriously in the world of The Avengers. And it should be like that. Again, the emphasis on superhero movies usually lie on destruction, life-saving and personalization of characters. But here, there is some of that, but not completely. No chessy lines. No rushed pacing. No cliche-ridden narrative. (Just Loki speaking in a not-so-sharp English accent.)

The movie can also be likened to last year's Deathly Hallows (Part 2); a lot of hype, and duly delivered. At least we could expect how the last Harry Potter movie was meant to be : an emotional, epic battle. The Avengers did deliver but there is something different to the whole theme that somehow manages to change our view on how superhero movies should be in the future. Is it Robert Downey Junior's Shakespearean jab at Thor? Or is the excellent cinematography of sticking to single shots instead of quick-fire editing? Heck, it could even be Scarlett Johansson's semi-obscene display of bust. Anyhow the movie is a success, most definitely.


Unprecedented, now that is one word to decribe Joss Whedon's take on a superhero movie.


Personally*... Stay in your seats till the end; there are rumors that an extra scene is added to the US version of The Avengers, for compensation of the late release.
