From someplace else!

Each entry must have a title.. and so.. Bloody Diamonds!

duh, you know by now what am talking about..if you don't well, wait till i get to the point, if i manage to get there that is...
ok, for the record (for whom this is entirely confusing), i saw the movie, Blood Diamond... and can't wait to talk about it, obviously cos i can pan it, and think i've got the stature to...ok!

quite literally, the movie was bloody, apart from the mind numbing violence that starts after the first ten minutes, by the way which had a good flow, surprising cos the writer, director and the entire crew has seemed to have a change of ideology during that particular portion of filming and gradually slipped to sloppiness and (how can i forget) violence, which incidentally seemed like the main theme of the movie.

though, i get the message, people are dying, being exploited in Africa, because a girl's best friends hurt bad and have caused brotha kill brotha, it's totally unecessary, that only every thirtieth frame has a dialogue and a background music score, noise that does not include a gunshot and an irritating (can't get myself to say heart rending) scream, don't ask me from where, it's just in the background. apart from this, the plot which is so originally woven around an opportunist whose heart turns Golden (from diamondish, get the point??) in the end, and a family man, and a nomad journalist, who has a thing for seeing the good in the bad guy, loses its grip as you grip onto your arm rest, popcorn, cell phone or your head, in the process of pulling out your hair or shielding your tympanum, lulls you to sleep even if you have slept 16 hours in a stretch, like i did..though, you've gotta have the habit of sleeping through peak hour traffic jams, a habit i developed over the past few months...

and now i am certainly imitating the director, rambling and losing my point, also like me, although i know it well enough to limit my vomits to the anonymity of web, instead of making an idiot of myself and insulting the intelligence of my co-earthlings ( for the lack of a better term :P), so, now respecting myself and now that its out of my head, immensely pleased too, i say good morning, am off to a shower and some sleep, before i get to work.

just hoping that this bout of honesty has not been overdone! if it's been, what the heck! whats done is over and for you to tolerate, just be thankful it did not last 2-1/2 hours (!!,gosh are you lucky!!) and won't unless you read as slow as me..

oh! by the way, caprio was almost a saving grace, thats cos he died, and connelly was sweeter, cos her presence was so short!

ok ok ok...bye! feel free to disagree, i really would like to hear the potential of such an on your face violent reel of film convincing your typical fiance' that a 3ct clear diamond is actually tinted with red, where a subtle, emotional plot filtered with reality and violence would not have helped..i appreciate honesty, just not in blunt nakedness, but in the aftermaths as well, so that my imagination gets tapped into, and i can actually feel not blank out, what i am saying, is, don't peel the skins for me please!

and oh, did i mention am not interested in diamonds, just platinum would do! hey not a ring, an anklet!!thats the least! have a blasted week!
Namaste.
