Certainly not a film I'd want to write about at great length, especially given how much has been written about it already. Also see <A HREF="http://jaiarjun.blogspot.com/2009/02/notes-on-luck-by-chance-and-bollywoods.html#c2328797631857961949" REL="nofollow">this comment</A> I wrote on an earlier post.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-5192312635495909782009-02-24T14:58:00.000+05:302009-02-24T14:58:00.000+05:30also, what is your take on Slumdog?

It was notably supplied by Japanese director Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo) who plays the mastermind that controls Ichi. Miike gave a bucket to Tsukamoto to fill but was unable to provide enough material for the shot. He passed the bucket to three other crew members to add the remaining amount.<BR/><BR/>Uh, it was left there by a peeping tom :). A literal one AND a similar one to our cinematic example.Dr. Gonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593056958061152496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-62453252238342881912009-02-23T07:26:00.000+05:302009-02-23T07:26:00.000+05:30LOL,I hope Mean Publisher Lady doesn't reads JABBE...<I>LOL,I hope Mean Publisher Lady doesn't reads JABBERWOCK</I><BR/><BR/>Prashant: oh she'll see this post at some point, I'm sure - which is one reason why I've been relatively kind here.<BR/><BR/>Anon: not reviewing <I>Dev D</I>. I loved the first half but thought the second half stretched on too much. Completely love the soundtrack, of course, and am glad that I had heard it for a week or so before I saw the film - which was time enough for the songs to get into my head. If I had gone into the film "cold" (that is, without being familiar with the music) I probably wouldn't have liked it much.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-51870633442010638192009-02-23T01:24:00.000+05:302009-02-23T01:24:00.000+05:30"Will post it when I get the green light or when I..."Will post it when I get the green light or when I’m sufficiently drunk to want to get Mean Publisher Lady sued by the international publishers."<BR><BR/>LOL,I hope Mean Publisher Lady doesn't reads JABBERWOCK<BR><BR/> <BR/>btw joel spolsky has an excellent review of Outlier on his blog. do check it out . http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/11/18.htmlPrashant Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079032946958487411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-78379073412313926822009-02-22T23:13:00.000+05:302009-02-22T23:13:00.000+05:30also pending -- your dev d review? i'm a bit puzzl...also pending -- your dev d review? i'm a bit puzzled by so much effusive praise for it, so quite curious to hear what you thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
