Die Hard, Bruce ishtyle

A boring afternoon and looking at a monotonous evening. Yours truly jumps as if hit by lightning. Through the stack of newspapers, he unearths the Die Hard review.4 stars... Awesome. The evening suddenly looks promising. After a few phone calls, Batman manages to find a Robin, who is as yet ignorant of the latest feats of 'detective' John McClane. Batman n' Robin are staring at a Bagpiper club soda commercial(better than Nalli saree, for sure) within an hour. A woman is wearing a perfume so heavy, that she dragged under it's weight. A baby cries... Gosh... Someone's watching THIS with a toddler? people shuffle through to their seats... Cooling ain't good... complaints galore... So much for a good start... Focus on the screen... A guy is chatting, presses delete and his existence is deleted(bombed)... Everyone sits tongue-tied.

Bruce Willis enters, pulling out his daughter's date and that's the calmest part of the movie. He is then sent to round up a hacker and we know what we have to do. Just shut up, that is. Some cool action is followed by even cooler stuff. The tech-stuff is too hi-fi to even bother, as long as you get the idea of new-age terrorism or 'fire cell'...It's the one-liners you should be looking for...

Just before intermission is the tunnel sequence, which is by far the best part. I can never go in a tunnel now without praying...

Robin speaks as we are leaving the hall " 4 stars ain't right, it deserves above 5 man"( He rates Matrix 10 on a scale of 5)

In the end, it's just an action movie with little story but great action... Took my breath away.

P.S.: I'd give my right arm for that foldable keyboard ;)

Rendezvous with a kid

Every time I go to someone's home, someone with a small kid, It just seems that an old film is being remade hazaar times over. The man calls the kid. He is told I'm his uncle, brother, whatever. Now I call the kid and start asking the same old stupid set of questions, out of sheer formality. What's ur name? What's your father's/mother's name? School , age etc. The kid answers everything confidently. After all, he faced an interview loaded with the same questions to get admission in a prep school and passed with flying colours. His parents had put in long hours to drive this stuff into his head. Coming back, now that I have exhausted the usual set and by experience, have learnt that kids are not used to new queries, I have no idea what to do next. The parents are naturally enjoying their little angels quick answers and swelling with pride. Sometimes I even fear a kid telling me to ask something new as he is bored of these questions.

I am fond of kids but I'm not good with them. I like it when a kid pulls one on me but somehow most of them find me repelling. Perhaps it's my just that I can't get to talking with them or maybe it's just the absence of a deo-spray, I don't know. I just hope that you know a way out of the situation I talked about and if you do, please, please help me!!!
