Transformers 3 - The role model of all mind-blowing entertainers

Recently i have been lamenting quite a bit about the state of movies on my facebook . The last few films i have been to really didnt make a cut and were mildly interesting. I expected nothing better in Transformers . After Transformers 2 i thought there was nothing much left in the Transformers Universe to get excited about .

Boy was i wrong .

Transformers 3 is everything an action packed entertainer is . Dont expect fantastic plots or serious acting . Tr 3 is for blowing your minds out with SLO-MO action scenes . And by slow motion i mean REAL slow motion . The film looks like its been shot in a planet with 4 million G . Time slows down so much that you can probably see a mosquito take a leak . It has the perfect ingredients Love , hate , jealousy , comedy ,action , sentiment , desperation , hope , betrayal . Never before in recent times has a melange of emotions portrayed so well on a screenplay . Megan Fox's absence hasnt proved to be a damper and i would go as far as to say that it has actually increased the films appeal as it doesnt have to rely on skinshow to sell itself .

Visuals : The one that is worth watching for . Trs 3 comes a very close second and in some place exceeds Avatar. Not only is the 3d good , the scenes are stunning.
You dont get the feeling you are watching Earth . Its a mixture of Inception , True Lies , Terminator and many other Apocalyptic post war/plague movies .At one scene , Shia jumps onto a flying plane that shoots down the villains to save his heroine , just like Arnold Schwarzengger does in True Lies .

Though the second half feels dragged sometimes , it never distracts you as you are not made to watch nonsense off-topic scenes . The final battle goes on for an hour ; the way IT IS MEANT to be . Optimus Prime acts as a saviour , appearing at the right time to save the hero : Sam Archibald Witwicky . It is not Prime's movie . Sam is the real hero . LaBeouf has done a fantastic job and has made his fans happy with his performance .John Turturro has really saved the film with his more than minor role in the movie .
Rosie Huntington Whiteley is definitely an improvement over Megan Fox. She has the skills than just the skin .

The plot is thin. The characters arent strong and the acting isnt perfect. You wont find that worrying you . You will be immersed in the films beauty, those beautiful locales , THE STUNNING GRAPHICS and the awesome action . It reminds you why action movies are still the greatest blockbusters in the world and why the sound of guns and roar of engines still pump adrenaline in the heart of action fans.

Kudos to Michael Bay and the team for making a legendary movie . The role model of all action movies there ever will be .

Autobots Roll out and watch it in theater . its worth the wait .Forget such a things as Transformers 2 ever existed . That was for nOObs . This is for the real hot blood in you .

Green Loontern

Ever been to a movie and feel like walking out and trashing the director yet couldn't cause you spent a buckload for the ticket just because of the 3D moniker ?? Green Loontern would perfectly fit the bill in this case . Honestly after watching tons of Vijaykanth and Vijay movies sink at the box office i thought no one else would release movies with zero imagination , plot or acting skills. But fear not , now Hollywood joins the legion of stupid film makers . An occasional spiderman or Harry Potter can be tolerated . Green Loontern takes the loyalty of comic book fan base to the extreme and shreds apart the story. Kiilowog , Sinestro all could have played a fantastic role .Killowog was the epitome of monstrosity and coolness. Sinestro, with his ability and character could have been given a better role where he becomes the villain at least helping create a base for a sequel . Do they use it to their advantage ? No . Heck , its easier for then to have a single hero , an arrogant machoistic guy , give him powers he doesnt know how to use , give an inspirational speech and saves the day at the end with the girlfriend in one hand and the villain at his feet. Surely an evil power capable of devouring planets in minutes could survive the heat of a sun AND defeat a single green lantern . Instead he bowls over like a twig in a Hurricane . The heroine is safe and sound and Oa is totally undamaged . Give me a break . Not even cheesy one liners can save the movie.

I am superhero sci-fi movie freak . I love superhero movies and after a taste of Nolan's dark knight movies every other superhero seems comical on-screen like a joker .Granted not all movies have a story as complex as batman's and not all directors capable of twisting the mind like Nolan , but still they could have just made something different .

At then end what might have been a fun , cool movie just fizzles out . Not even the Green Lantern Corps could have saved this movie from certain doom . Next time you wanna kill a supervillain forget Low Orbit Ion cannons or laser rifles . A Blu-Ray of this movie will do that ten times over.

AMD's new graphics architecture

Ok this time this article is actually based on technology ,

AMD or advanced micro devices is making a major change to its Graphic processor (GPU) design . Gone are the days of pipeline stuff ILP instruction. This one makes it more similar to a set of parallel independent processing units (SIMD) if you prefer . Read about it here in the link below

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4455/amds-graphics-core-next-preview-amd-architects-for-compute

Note : what AMD have done here isnt revolutionary. Nvidia had changed their graphics architecture similar to this way back in 2009 called the "Fermi" architecture . Both of the companies have realised that moving away from VLIW and into SIMD processing is the future for a better balance of Gaming / Computational abilities

< again read the above mentioned article > . Its a bit of a drab , but for those really interested in all this stuff like hardware , parallel processing etc etc , it will be fun .

And for guys / girls wanting to know what Fermi is

again another excellent article.

Money is everything to an Indian

Currency , Coins, Gold . Three things that can corrupt any individual . especially ones in a country riddled with perpetual poverty . Like genetic characteristics , poverty runs across generations in India .You can classify people on how long they have been poor in India . So pathetic is the gap between the poor and rich that some of the lowliest lives are ready to sell their organs for a pittance , sacrificing his life for the filthy rich just to get a fill of his stomach .

What causes this ? The Indian money-minded mentality

Marriage alliances are not based on Love or understanding between the couple . The guys parents select the girl whose father is a rich man , is willing to give tonnes of gold in dowry and a car and a house and every god damned thing a guy is supposed to earn in his life for free .The girl must be preferably a single child so that her father would give up everything including his underwear for his son-in-law.

Even the girls are not Heavenly Angels either. They live off their boyfriends in college days ,eating at his expense , getting expensive gifts and changing boyfriends after burning through his pockets like napalm on paper . They then marry off a guy working in America or Europe , cause you know , there is more money to burn when you convert Dollars to Rupees .

The Indian Lust of Gold : Nobody loves golds better than Indians . Thats why you see women on advertisements wearing tonnes of gold jewelry costing lakhs . Who said India is a poor country ? Rob any one of these middle class aunties and you will have enough gold to live off happily for the next 20 years.Wherever you go you see models dressed with more gold than fabric . Akshaya Tritiya : The south Indian or whole Indian not sure festival where every goddamned husband / man / bachelor is screwed over by women for buying gold on that auspicious day .

what do you think God is you loggerheads ?? A goldmine you own ? to shower gold on you perpetually ?? Ever heard the story of Midas and his golden touch ?? remember what happened to him ?

The sky aint the Limit : I will eat until i fill the belly of the guy next to me :No one is sufficient with having enough . A taste of developed technology and comfort of the developed countries has left a deep desire in the Indian mind to enjoy them even at the expense of his fellow country men . The Karunanidhi family had enough money to buy Africa entirely lock , stock and barrel . yet they chose to rob the country of a chance to earn Billions through the auction of the 2g spectrum . And the Congress policy ? Bribe and let bribe . Rob the country blind and give me half . i will protect your ass irrespective of any atrocity and will even award you a Bharat Ratna for your historical exploits of the most pathetic nation-state.

Cowardice : face it . head to head we are not even cockroach crap against giants like China or US or Germany . Our actual incomes lies in the hands of guys and girls who sit in front of terminal with headphones in a placed called Bangalore . We cant fight of a single guy who has come from Pakistan to kill as many of us . We got our butts kicked by the Chinese when they did not even have a proper army or economy to feed themselves . We are the laughing stock the entire UN .

what do we do to hide the frustration ? Build better stuff and turn into a superpower ?? Nah. thats for hardworking people like the Japanese. We beat our fellow brethern , assault our sisters ,kill unborn kids , tear through the very social fabric of the country we live in for the name of Religion .

Ego : No way we would learn from smaller countries to manage poverty . I wont listen to the Americans either for my "CULTURE IS SUPERIOR TO THEM " .

ignore the interests of my citizens . Who gives a shit about the farmer that tolls his life producing food for me that i eat in excess and go to a Gym that charges through the roof to get me back in shape. I am no philanthropist to think about the welfare of my own brothers , let alone my countrymen .

Status in the society : The richer I am , the more I am respected. Though all i own is a BMW 525 d i still show off like i own the goddamned roads of the world . in front of illiterate farmers and clerks my BMW will look like the Chariot of God .

ever wondered why there are too many clerks and MBA aspirants in India ?? We love money so much that we would even give up our brains and reasoning ability just to touch money all day and fondle it and cuddle it like a new born baby .

Ultimately its money that drives an Indian . Teach a man to fish and he will never have to beg for the rest of his life . Show an Indian a currency note and he will produce them in tonnes for the rest of his life .
