Dunkaccino Over Sir Downey Jr.

Al, Al, Al.........

Maybe I accidentally hit my head recently and maybe as we speak I am living in a hallucinogenic alternate dimension within my own subconscious, but wasn't there a time when Al Pacino was one of the greatest actors of.. well my uncle's time ?

I mean, the dude was a respected actor, wasn't he?  Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon, Scent of a Woman.  I even seem to remember him being in a little independent film called THE super-tramp GODFATHER!!!! (although I do believe that in the U.S. release, they dropped the 'super-tramp' from the title.

You know what I did last day.The moment of sheer happiness out of Robert downey Jr's Sherlock-II caught me into a resemblance when he shouted "Fashionably you have me as an ally"...There. Pause Now.Did he just look like Pacino.I believe more of Siamese twins. Two genius of the time and now looked alike.And I had to see Pacino when I remembered him then.Here's what my minimal slyness in finding the most-matching picture of both.

(Really!! How do it come off!!)

 IMDB-ed and to my surprise every damn ones been revised 10+ times.There I made a decision like Jack & Jill.Oh,Go ahead and laugh at me,If you don't want to do for Adam's talent of Razzie there.

You remember that piece of shit film, don't you?  It's the movie where Adam Sandler puts on a dress and plays the part of his twin-ster (My Bad...TWIN SISTER!)Yes, you read that correctly.  His SISTER!  Do you get it?  Adam Sandler is a GUY!  And he's dressing up like a GIRL!  Holy shit that is some funny stuff!  Why hasn't Hollywood ever thought of that idea before???I knew it was going to be awful.The idea of switching from Robert Downey Jr to some clank version of the Razzie awarded one where Pacino appeared,Right!!But the thing is, it's NOT awful.

It's......  It's......

Honestly, I don't have a word for it.  Calling it 'awful' would be an insult for all the fine things in this world that worked hard and busted their ass to attain the title of 'awful'.This movie left me speechless.And it's not so much because of Adam Sandler.  Mr. Sandler has LONG ago proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can't make a funny movie. So, I wasn't surprised there.Let me make a statement here.Those people who call they can make people laugh aren't exactly the ones who do.It's the grumpy ones always work out properly.

No, what threw me for a loop was the fact that he got AL PACINO to star in this movie with him!

I still can't wrap my head around it, but let me summarize the movie in a nutshell for you:

Adam Sandler has a twin sister who is a pain in the butt  Adam, meanwhile, owns an advertising company who is going to lose his business if he can't get Al Pacino to star in his new Dunkin' Donuts commerical, advertising their new coffee, the "Don-Cachino".

I'll fast forward about 84 minutes, and just ruin the whole movie for you by showing you the final 2 minutes.

You ready?  Ok, here we go......

Here we end with Happy-Don-Cachino-Sunday-Post.In case you've had the slightest misfortune to try it.

For You,A Thousand Times Over :)

(Amir reading out  "Rostam and Sohrab" story to Hassan. )

Better late than never, but never late is better. That's how I console myself after watching The Kite Runner.A 2007 academy award winner and marvelous it is.Two childhood bonds and extremely intense.Talking about potentiality, I barely stand them.This time it was that upsetting like they reviewed. But it gets shadowed by the pretty old depiction of friendship they had and how it turned out to be brothers.Apart from the dummy review, enjoy the below clip.

"Did I ever tell you your father was the best kite runner in Kabul? He made all the neighborhood kids jealous. He'd run the kites and never look up at the sky. Some claimed he was just chasing the kite's shadow. But they didn't know him like I did. Your father wasn't just chasing shadows. He just knew. That's all."

Ernie's Mood

On an Independence Day like this,who sits at home and mulls over stuffs to do.After morning rumination on how jobless I am, I had to preclude good things out of my to-do list of the day.Anywhos why ?Cause it's damn-awaited independence day.People wait for this day to close shops and doze off a gala time. I buy this too. So I am gonna have to doze off too.Not that all. Other than that my inquisitive mind is up to checking every possible payment receipt of electricity,hired stuffs, Phone bill,Alteration bills and call them to yell at with ballistic reasons. Joblessness is the mother of cruelty. Not unfathomable though.Engrossed with Sherlock Holmes and Family Guy. Weird duo,right!! No. Not at all.Get the below video on Radar and you will see how Lord Blackwood and Ernie had resemblance in their way of dying. Simpatico,Where art thou?!

King's Men

Beauty.Life.Happiness.Is all I think of now.And may be a little worried about what's up sleeves.Weekend's over.Did not have a single idea how time flew.When I say memorable time,it must include Robert Plant music in it.Almost night.
The soundtrack:All the King's Horses

Let me first make a correction by saying that this song is solely by the legendary Robert Plant, and not all of Led Zeppelin. I think this one really goes to show that no matter what genre of music you specialize in, the people who are professional musicians are just extremely talented (I say that loosely, let's not include the "singers" of today like Justin Bieber etc) and could really do just about anything.

Soothing & Dreamy.Hallelujah.

Primal Time

Paid leaves are forced to be good.Boy-o,what a lark.I did not waste a time of this time and that's what I got to scribble about this day.It's been dank for the past couple of days.I did outsmart the weather over this non-sinecure job.Read out timely. Met old kid-buddies.Hardik is on his way to school project of helping blind children around here.I adore and helped him in moving home to home here.And yes,we did good.It was Rs.450+ after total colony kids.Bugs are timely sobered up.I am happy that it's not just those times when I felt like not having a spine.This time,I got it and would keep on getting it.Snapping out of the funk that exam's gonna be good and soon I'd be jabbing along stuffs around.Despite our cisco router failure,8 beam-ticket-reminders-and-no one's-showed-up-case,one broken bed in the other room,shortage of gas in kitchen,3 hours of power-cut everyday,clogged sink,extra 5 people in our flat, not entering to the malls seeing 70% discount, I somehow feel is not bad at all.What I am getting at is "You can not always do the litmus test".Sometimes it's just go with it.

Mood: Complacent

Time: One of those rare evenings

Weather: Monsoon

Food for the post: One mug eggnog and toast

Soundtrack: What a wonderful world

Counting Happiness

It's just my small life and more or less good people around me.I do have a plan and do conceive to the fact that when I'd grow old,I would never repent a penny worth.Time's been good.Now when I was reading the blogs of different people's life, I see "Happiness always comes in king-size."It's just us who forget at times to count it.So lets start counting happiness before a slumber tonight.
1.Bean bag and balcony.
2.Soft & cold wind.
3.Less starred sky.It's ok.We got much more to focus on.
4.Crickets chirping around.
5.Fresh sheets in my room.
6.Window open and through which you can see the moon occasionally.
Thinking about nothing literally and listening to this soundtrack.

G'nyt & being thankful for everything is good,right ? :)
