Zeitgeist !!!

Over the years I have been very fond of documentary movies. I disagree to people who watch bollywood movies as they are like drugs. They absolutely have no relation to real life and then after 3hours or so you are back in the real world which is even worse. There is no change to the foundation of the story and then there are some fight scenes which would make the Indian Army shy away. Thank god it is a movie.

On the other hand documentaries are mostly about real life and true experiences. They always have a message which makes sense to our daily proceedings. They can be very inspiring and equally entertaining along with being educating. This is the best part as most of the times these attributes are mutually exclusive.

I have over the years collected a very large and rare collection of such movies and I am proud of it. Play these movies to any crowd above 18 and they will love it. They will later have a better image of you. It's more like hypnotics! No, honestly these movies are quite simply addictive.

I have watched from Loose Change to biggie smalls Notorious, from JFK to the new sensation Obama Deception, from Billy Maher's Religulous to ma man's Tupac Resurrection. A lot of people ask me which is the best documentary I have watched ? Honestly you can never answer that question. Every single one of them is a marvel in its own right. Until recently.

The number of seeds in the sub category of documentaries under the category of movies on Mininova usually gives you an idea of the good ones which have been released recently. I was so surprised by one of the movies as it simply had a very large number of seeds which I first assumed was display error. Then it also said that the movie was not released and was free for download and distribution anywhere in the world. This surely had to have made a lot of rich and powerful people unhappy. The epic movie was indeed Zeitgeist!

I soon went to http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ and downloaded both the movies Zeitgeist The Movie & Zeitgeist Addendum. Honestly speaking I have never ever come across anything that's even close to these two movies. It is to do with the corruption of governments and the world's richest fraudsters. Well its quite a rebel thought but the way it has been put together and proved is simply spine tingling! I have seen some great documentaries in the past and then this one.

If you want to really boggle your mind and be left stunned and dazed and forced to think about every single day of your life in the past and coming future then watch this movie. What you decide at the end of it is your choice but I was with the movie and have also joined the Zeitgeist Movement. Anyone who comes across this blog my mistake please watch this movie. Its the quickest to download and the best to watch. Well in my opinion I would say the movie's effect is 'orgasmic'. Oh hold on can I say that on blogs ? Am I politically right ?

Oh for crying out loud!

Oh For Crying Out Loud!

I have been so tired of networking sites. I would never use the word 'Sick' as there were times when I used to really enjoy it! It was a nice way to keep in touch with a lot of people you realize ever were with you in some part of your life only after finding them there and a lot or Q&A 's! I am not trying to be rude but I no more see the point of how they playing some song at so many decibels is going to be of any difference in my messed up life! Or the fact of someone having some heartache because of someone else who lost their earring! I cant even contemplate the motive behind such posts! And then in the world of online chatting comes the notorious "status messages"! If you are 'available' I might disturb you, if you are 'busy' I might respect it or if you are 'away' I might swear at you sometimes! I really don't need to know that you are eating bacon or bread for breakfast. I mean it is as stupid as the 'falling rocks' sign on motorways! What am I supposed to do? Its your life and its all that you have! Why do you have to go broadcasting! Why don't you rather tattoo your forehead "DORK". Go through anyone's wall or scrapbook. The most common expression you will find is 'long time'. This is because of the number of friends who would have accumulated in your list and many against your will. And then honestly you can't keep up. Its not whether you are free or busy it is simple that you can't keep up! I would rather watch TV along with a pint of bitter than tell someone else for the n'th time that yes I did study at that same school you are referring to! And by the time that person again remembers me my son or daughter would have hopefully finished their education. I have heard that Hailey's comet is more frequent than a few contacts on my list! And I would never commit the mistake of blaming anyone cause I am equally bad if not worse! So in order to put an end to the blame game and the unwanted question answering and the ever increasing laziness of mine I have finally decided to get out of facebook, orkut, twitter, the whole lot. It sounds funny but I have already initiated the process of destruction and have transferred rights to a couple of communities I owned to others. For me now networking is like a commitment I can never commit to and because of my delayed response sometimes someone wants to hurl an abuse at me rather than say 'hi' and then I have to think of some wacky reason as to why I had not replied to some scrap of theirs 2 years 6 months 23 days back! How the hell do I know? I don't know what happened 2 hours 6 minutes 23 seconds back! Oh yes my reason giving sucks big time! It usually leaves the person who was angry on me with major criminal intentions! I once told someone that I was enjoying sunshine in Portugal ( you are damn right I was lying ) but to only realize that the same person was just a couple of computers away in the same computer cluster I was in at the university. She looked at me and I knew I broke her heart not because she fancied me but I was caught lying and I knew she wanted to break my teeth! Luckily all that she said was a couple of words and I can't very well remember what it was! So there it goes again. I have decided to opt out of networking websites as it is simply not for me and I wont force myself into something I can't do. I do love myself sometimes. But just to keep my e-social life kicking I decided to start a new blog. My old blog would rather stay private!! But after my first post I think this is going to be even more difficult!

Oh For Crying Out Loud!
