Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment... Marc Z : Of what? random person : you forgot the quotes and the name Marc Z : You're out. Selerines : Check the spam da... My comment is not here.... Marc Z : Yeah that's the one. Then I can publish the correspondence or something if that's okay with you. Anne : Sorry. Could not get here on time. Mail? Can I use the one in 'contact me'? Marc Z : Perhaps you could email me instead. The shoutbox is hardly a medium for this. Anne : Got time for internet just now. Wait for my counter argument tomorrow. 
Marc Z : Corruption, discrimination and violence are not stray incidents here. They happen every single day on a large scale. Marc Z : In India, people don't even admit that there is a major problem. You are expected to adjust and grit you teeth and bear it. Even worse, many people are indifferent/sati sfied with the current situation. Now do you see this in other countries? Marc Z : The difference is that India claims to be a 'developing country' and an 'upcoming super power'. Completely untrue. Anne : Cmon Marc! Show me a country where there is no corruption or discrimination or violence! Then I'll name it heaven! Anne : I agree! It cannot be implemented even if you are n politics or very rich! But why do you always consider India as a whole or these terrible politicians or these bribe taking officials! Its everywhere in the world, except maybe in the Amazon forests! It is very well known that you as well as me can do something without involving any useless bigwigs! Marc Z : Anne, the worst part of living in this country is knowing that you cannot do anything to change it. Whatever ideas or solutions people might have can never be implemented unless you are in politics or very very rich. It's a completely different set of rules here. This is the sort of place you get beaten up by thugs for doing good things. Praveen : Why no posts of late da? Become quite busy, eh? Anne : Ok. I guess you don't intend to answer that! Anyway, I'm not one of those maniacs who support govt blindly! Neither do I agree with he idea of always complaining rather than doing something which you really can. You can do lots, just understood your ampli5 business. Well, goodbye then. Anne : I meant your complaints against India! Tell me how you have used your ideas to do something around! Marc Z : Welcome to India! Anne : I tried counting the number of complaints in your blog! Then realized its impossible and gave up! 
Marc Z : You're out. Arun : Release me. Marc Z : Maybe I should make a post about Amrita. George : Absent without leave? Who is Amrita, by the way? /innocence Isha : AWOL? what's that? :S Marc Z : I try, but it's getting harder every day. He going AWOL now and then. Isha : me doing fine. hope you're keeping an eye on AMRITA? Marc Z : Surprised you'd come back to a blog you saw years ago. Anne : Blog Hopped to your old blog some years back. reached this blog now. Marc Z : Hey Isha, what's up? Marc Z : Anne, who might you be? (The addition thing keeps out spammers.) Isha : hello Isha : random spam ahead: Anne : This addition thing is really annoying. Anne : The picture in your very first blog was the best, the one with blue shirt. Marc Z : I played the first Soul Reaver game and I liked the theme. I'll try them if I get a chance. Right now I'm on Medieval 2 Total War. Ram Kumaran : Hey dude.. I played Legacy of Kain : Soul Reaver 2 and The Suffering : Prison is hell. Both the games were good. Give them a try. Currently am downloading The Suffering 2. Currently am playing Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. Always Tomb Raider is better than Indy when games are concerned and In case of movies, Indy movies are better compared to TR. Marc Z : They use exploits in WordPress blogs. Probably automated. Sucks. Sundar : Dude, how come all the websites you link to get hacked by Saudi Arabian dunderheads? Marc Z : George, I've removed it for now. Marc Z : Comment from 'Guest' deleted. Learn to enter a lame. George : Dude, please. George : Dude...pink background. George : Goddamn engineer is true. Marc Z : Surely you can do better. Sundar : Spam. Marc Z : Some Sundar spam deleted. Arun, your comment is approved. Arun : Release me. Marc Z : Comment from 'Guest' about Greenpeace deleted since no name was specified. Sundar : Hmm.

Sundar says:
Bloody brilliant, the movie was. Top class performance by Ledger. Pity he’s not around to see the accolades he’s going to get.
Posted on July 19th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Arun says:
Tumbler! Tumbler!
Batpod! Batpod!
Posted on July 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Marc Z says:
There was absolute silence when Ledger was talking and it was just creepy.
Oh yeah, Arun kept yelling ‘tumbler’ all the way to the theatre.
Posted on July 19th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
George says:
Harvey Dent was amazing. I mean, just Harvey Dent itself, even when he wasn’t two-face.
Of course, Ledger stole the movie. I still have that part where he’s in the cop car that’s swerving around, I have that part playing in my head.
Posted on July 19th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Arun says:
That Batpod stuff was sick. I never thought it would have such a great opening. The hall went bananas!
Also I felt the Batman character had very few things to say, like all the good lines were lapped up by Harvey Dent, Commissioner Gordon and The Joker.
Posted on July 20th, 2008 at 12:08 am
Sundar says:
Oh yeah, hanging his head out of the window.
And the way he says Hi, when dressed as a nurse was brilliant too. The subsequent scenes were extraordinary too, only it’d become a spoiler if I were to talk more about that here.

Fantastic one… Hope to see it at INOX…
Posted on July 21st, 2008 at 8:44 am
Rachel says:
Selerines
Without watching the movie, how can you call it as ‘Fantastic one’. Think
Posted on July 21st, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Marc Z says:
He is also obsessed with INOX.

bharath says:
film is awsome.but i think two face character is not used well.
Posted on July 21st, 2008 at 11:19 pm
selerines says:
@Rachel : I saw it at one of the local theaters.. I mean that i am planning to watch it at INOX…. What to do? No tickets…
@Marc : May be…
Posted on July 22nd, 2008 at 7:37 am
Rachel says:
Why Selerines in INOX you can see the flip side of Batman ( i meant Bruce Wayne ) ah
The movie is the same whether you watch it in INOX or any local theaters you L&Tian
Posted on July 22nd, 2008 at 11:46 am
George says:
If you were making flip side jokes wouldn’t Harvey Dent be the natural candidate?
Posted on July 22nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Marc Z says:
bharath, yeah they killed him off quickly but he really wasn’t a major villain.
George, no one will get that.
Posted on July 22nd, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Arun says:
Inox hasn’t got the rights to run the movie. Still. Very shocking.
Posted on July 23rd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Sundar says:
Marc torture pannathe da… Anyone who has seen that film will get that (Anyone who was vaguely interested in the batman franchise for that matter).
Saying ‘No one will get that’ reeks of arrogance. You disappoint me, son.
Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Marc Z says:
You overestimate the people here. If only you knew the number of people who asked me why I had set my status message as ‘Why So Serious?’
Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Arun says:
Yeah, all those buggers open the chat with, ‘I’m not serious, you are! LoL.’ When I patiently explain to them what it is, they reply back with, ‘Oh, I thought ‘The Dark Knight’ was a different movie. I never knew it was Batman’s.’
Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Sundar says:
I was doing the same. No one asked me. You don’t underestimate people.
Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Marc Z says:
No one asked you because no one understood it.
Arun, yeah a few people said that to me as well.
Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Sundar says:
Well, forget that. Did any of you guys here see that review of Suhasini Maniratnam on Jaya TV on The Dark Knight?
She actually said the film was not gripping, and apparently, it was a little slow moving, and compared to Nolan’s other movies, was a ‘big let-down’.

Isha says:
not seen movie yet. will do so soon. missing heath ledger
*bursts out into uncontrollable sobbing* the joker role suited him so well. hoooot!
Posted on July 25th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Arun says:
Did Suhasini Maniratnam say that? Oh my God, they are pathetic. She is best suited for reviewing pointless Tamil movies. Or her Uncle Kamal Hassan’s movies.
Posted on July 25th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Marc Z says:
Sundar, her opinion does not count. She was in the Tamil movie industry which produces the lowest quality ‘movies’ in the world. What the hell would she know?
Isha, he was damn good yeah.
Posted on July 25th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Arun says:
I saw the review that Sundar was talking about. Here’s what she said in the review. Link
