Windows sucks

WHAT THE HELL.

I got this ‘obnoxious little weed’ called new folder.exe in my PC through my pendrive and now it’s a nice little chaos inside my hard disk, gobbling up my already thin resource of disk-space. It’s so irritating to find how easily a program can infiltrate into the startup setting of such a widespread OS like Windows. Have to do a regedit and erase all traces of the nasty thing from the HDD to get rid of it. Maybe have to format the partitions for that ( and that means another awful lot of headache, copying files back and forth). Certain wise people (whom i previously thought as faancy linux geeks) have long been taking about the virtues of Linux, but now i really feel it. It rocks. It’s great. Amid all the chaos i managed to get my pc to have a dual boot with Ubuntu 7.10 and ok,  now, for the time being at least i can insert my formatted, ‘clean’ pendrive into the comp safely without getting infected !

Slumdog … now what does that mean??

Well, i don’t think this film has its heart at the right place.

Mixed reactions, to be precise. A film well put together, i must say, … story, actor choices, direction, music, editing, … all above average, outside the 3-sigma level ( can’t resist ), especially the fourth one outside the 6-sigma lim (here i’m at it again !), as is typical of dear A.R.R.

But … um, there always remains a but. I don’t want to watch this film again, unlike my gut feelings after i saw TZP or Dasvidaniya, or, to talk of Hollywood, say Memento or Dark Knight. This one’ll go down as many other films isaw and forgot, maybe with an added Oscar zing … “Slumdog what ? oh, the film which got A.R. two Oscars ?” (  Surely, he’ll get at least one.) Bas, that’s the only reason my brain’d distinguish it from the umpteen other movies seen. Sorry Mr. Danny Boyle. You did show us a part of ‘the real america’, but you didn’t fully show them a part of the real India.

You may argue, it got FOUR golden globes, after all. Well, one’s due to A.R., and , hm, … i don’t know how much credibility a f**kin’ award like this holds, which gives this movie a ‘best drama film’ award, handing a trash like Vicky Cristina Barcelona the one for best comedy (maybe just coz Woody Allen directed it) ! I mean, c’mon, at least you should swap their categories !!

P.S. Maybe by now you’re concluding i don’t know a hang ’bout films. Well, i can’t help it.

One more time …

OK, just balance everything and you’re done. It’s no big deal. I’ve been doing this before. One more time.
