Movie relief and you

Saw saawariya. ...........YIKES!! Can't believe i actually threw up after seeing it.Blue,black,and all that jazz did it for me.I saw it on one of the news channels that several people had seizures seeing an ad on olympics - mainly because of the color combinations they used in the ad and the way it basically runs - somewhere in china/japan if am right.And i thought -Huh?! But then, post-swaawariya, ...me, puking is no surprise!
The best thing about such movies is that we can make fun of everything out loud and not bother about the silence that ought to be kept in theatres - when the movie is good and a serious one at that!
Thanks to the huge crowd i went with - we made a lot of noise and didn't let anyone else watch it in peace! Although i was disappointed with the missing-butt-shot, (t'was gossipped a lot that there was one..) - we managed to sit through the whole mumbo -jumbo!

And yep...they were supposed to show the protagonist's butt. Darn! The guy just drops his towel down ...well, almost- and sways n swings in full-view in a manner of flashing himself to the world through his bedroom window in one of the songs in the spirit of celebrating his fall in love of the first kind.Sort of a boy-man's so-called love...romantically dis-illusioned,bothersome and clingy.
By the way - this movie incidentally is based on some crappy book called 'White Nights'.

Personally, i feel like slitting Sanjayleelabhansali's throat - each time i see him chewing gum at award functions and kissing his mom and dedicating 'em awards! ..Hate the grandeur and everything about his movies.What with them always having that one ultra-feminine heroine in them - who's too feminine to put her foot down and say NO to the man who troubles her. And the guy keeps hovering around her and hankering.And she let's him be.Anyways my hate meter goes up and up for him as Mister Bhansali continues to be a house-hold name of his fraternity and beyond! God help the world! Least said the better for the sake of my own blood pressure.

However,if God closes one door,he opens another.And i saw BEOWULF!
And we do get to see SOME butt here! Well, the story line has it that the hero embarks on killing the monster enterprise, and goes to that place where it dwells...and yells..."show urself..."..and there emerges the temptress from the water - naked! And instead of slaying her, hero forthwith becomes her undercover sperm donor -only to get back to tell the old king (Hopkins), that he killed her. Then follows the merry making.."Hail Beowulf...he slayed Grendal (monster) and laid his mom(Jolie) in her grave".
One hell of an animated movie !Cartoons for big kids i must say. Imagine Chandamama like story in 3D animation/special-effects -with smart-alec adult jokes and solid unforgettable dialogues!
This movie has the honor of making it into the list of my all time favorites.Rest being Garfield,Open-season,Ice-age,Shrek,and Madagascar.One should ideally kill themselves who missed seeing this new-age..(fairy-tale?) movie Beowulf. I simply am not sure to call it a fairy-tale though. And you'll know why - only if you see it!
