Hair-raising Déjà vu

Just saw the latest hairstyle sported by Aamir Khan. Where have I seen something like this before?

Oh yes, got it...

What's in The Name?

For all the Harry Potter fans out there, here's a million dollar question: What is this Lord Voldemort's weird obsession with names?

Born as Tom Marvolo Riddle, he wanted to change his name. I can understand that. The only reason he escaped getting beaten every day at school, was that he was such a powerful wizard.

So then, he goes and changes his name to Lord Voldemort. Still not pretty, but since he wasn't aiming for beauty, we can forgive him that.

But why go to all these lengths to get an anagramic name and all, and then prevent everyone from saying it out loud? If he wanted to stop people from saying his name, he could have easily kept his old name, and put the taboo on it, right?

(SPOILER ALERT:) Not to mention, he died getting called "Riddle". Talk about wastage of effort.(END OF SPOILER)

I am sure someone somewhere is writing a fan-fic about what would have happened if Lord Voldemort would have stopped obsessing over his name, and would have invested that time learning about things he didn't know.



P.S. OK, you didn't actually think I was going to pay a million dollars if you answered, did you?

Is This How You Sell?

So you break people's things to get them to buy through your website, and show it openly in an advertisement?

I guess that would fall under Godfather School of Negotiation...

I would be ashamed...

One of the "top" 3 stories on Indian Express Movies page is:

Big B unveils Bhootnath
After romancing young heroines, Big B will now be seen with a child artist.

I sincerely hope that the movie is not what the summary implies.

Don't Sue Me

Not implying anything here, but imagine the scenario:

A man, X, carries a man, Y to hospital, saying that he found Y dying on the road. Y dies in the hospital, and 20 years later, X's son bears a strong resemblance to Y.

If I was a criminal investigator, and I found that X is taking this thing quietly, my antennae would perk up.




P.S. Watched me some "Om Shanti Om" over the weekend finally. Yet to decide if it is a over-acted movie or a good satire. Given that some actors in the movie are known for their acting, I am leaning towards second choice.

P.P.S. Deepika Padukone looks wow.
