The Sane Lunatic

A movie about an incident in history that I apologetically know little or nothing of, the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy in 1963. More to the point, this movie, as its name suggests, is about the Mrs. Jacqueline 'Jackie' Kennedy, the wife of President Kennedy, and her perspective of the days right after the assassination. It's challenging to provide a deep enough perspective about the story that is told in this movie, about the woman who's husband was murdered in one of the most controversial assassinations in US history, with the man accused, Lee Harvey Oswald, being shot dead in prison before an investigation could be carried out. Who shot Kennedy? Why? Was it Oswald alone? Could it have been averted? All these questions are not answered, and with the scarcity of facts, the speculations continue. But this story is about the woman who was seated next to the President, Jackie, his wife, who held in her lap his head with a part of his skull blown...

This time it's been even longer since the last post - 25 days! I haven't been as busy as I was last time. Maybe while updating you guys I'll also figure out where the time went. So, last time we...'spoke', I was just getting free from the whole rush of the awards event of the office I work for, and since then things have been a lot calmer. Yes, there was one significant drastic event which did shake me up, but it was quite personal, and not a part of the Colaba life, so I'll leave that out. I've been reasonably busy at work, restricted to the office mostly, not that I'm complaining. But now that I've had a taste of being out on drives and shoots, it's a tough rush to come off of. Along with the work, I've also been relatively occupied with the whole living scenario, and in between, I had about 10 cunt-free days as that cunt roommate of mine was out of town for some reason. Man, those days were a welcome break, especially with the timing....

We need more Lego movies. Simple as that. Good thing that the folks at Warner Bros seem to know that too. That's why we now have the 'Lego Batman Movie', which in terms of pure action and kiddie fun wrapped up in witty-satire of what's going on in the world, is awesome!! The main satirical target this time? The caped crusader himself. Batman is voiced by Will Arnett, whose deep voice brings out the best version of the extremely narcissistic personality. Alongside him, we have the villains led by the evil mastermind and lovable iteration of a sensitive Joker voiced by Zach Galifanakis. Batman roots himself in being a loner, with no feelings and no vulnerability and no need for anyone else. He even refuses to accept the Joker as his worst enemy, which is kinda what triggers the whole chain of events that follows. A superhero snubbing the hate-relationship of a supervillain and the journey of self-discovery that follows, could sum up the plot but there is so much m...
