So the effects were good; how was the plot? And was Aishwarya good in the film?
Now I'm even more keen to see it than before! My schools breaks up for half-term in a week, so maybe then. :)

The plot wasn't bad. It had a good story-line (which could have been tighter towards the end) and the first half was quite good. The robot formations in the second half were spectacular. But there, I'm talking about the graphics again. I would give the plot a rating of 7.0 but don't let that stop you from watching the movie. It had many firsts for an Indian film and the sets (during the songs especially), costumes and robots were majestic, so go and see it. It is paisa vasool movie =p.

Aishwarya was good. She looked as good as ever (but honestly, she looks best in a simple sari with minimum make-up and jeweleries) and her robotic dance steps were excellent. Made me think she was a robot herself.

Finally, I saw Dil Bole Hadippa! on TV recently. Rani Mukerji dressing up as a man to join the Indian men's cricket team with no one realizing she is a woman (in spite of them all sharing the same dressing room) is hilarious and unbelievable.

That's another movie that's going on my To-Watch list. =)

We finished watching Das Wunder von Bern in our German lesson today. SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE. They spoke a smidgeon too fast to be able to understand what they were saying, but English subtitles made life a lot easier. xD

Watched I, Robot today.
Was good.

Watched Sherlock Holmes movie (the 2009 one) yesterday. It was AWESOME!!! <3.

And yeah, I loved Robert Downey, Jr as Holmes!

I know, it's great.

Only a few days 'till we get the new TV show here. :D

It comes on what? BBC Entertainment?

Nah, PBS. We get BBC Canada, but that's mostly home reno shows (for some reason), and there's more Canadian than British. *sigh*

It's Sunday, for anyone in Can/US who wants to watch it.

Sad. I wanted to watch it. In UK, it was telecast on BBC One and BBC HD. But I get neither. I just have BBC World News (which is actually BBC India but they don't show much about India; more about world news, thank goodness) and BBC Entertainment. I was hoping it would be BBC Entertainment for you which could mean I could get it too (but they ain't mentioning anything about the serial there).
I guess I should check out for DVDs. That is, if they have released here.

Agreed. I don't know about the rest of you, but the predictable story didn't actually bug me that much. The only reason I go watch films like 2012 is for the special effects, and in that respect it delivered, though the first half could have been done slightly better in my opinion.

On a different note, I'm currently watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Which explains why I've got the laptop out at the same time. :P

Well, when I knew it was a Roland Emmerich, I guessed the storyline. I have seen The Day After Tomorrow and I know the story of Independence Day. 2012 was not very different.
I actually didn't like the storyline much, but it wasn't bad at all. And the special effects made up for it (even though I watched it in my laptop and the screen and the sound are hence, not very good).

I expect we will finish Princess Mononoke in animation tomorrow.

So far, so very good.

Though some of the violence is a little unexpected.

I love Princess Mononoke. If only my school had animation courses

Weeell. Didn't finish it today. Oh well.

I didn't realize until yesterday that The Deathly Hallows will be released in only a few weeks.

YOU HAZ AN ANIMATION COURSE!?!

*jealous*

Well okay, we do too, but it's Film and Animation (which I'm taking at some point), and by all accounts the course for the Foundation kids consists mainly of writing boring analysis essays for live action films. Blah.

As nice as our academic options are, our athletic options are horrible.

It's really one: the lack of teachers who actually wanna coach. Two: The lack o students dedicated enough or actually wanna be on a team.

But back to academics, yeah, our options are pretty good. Dramatic Arts, Music, Business, Tech, Art and Languages - all very deep.

And we have a separate film course. =D

WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT ATHLETICS.

I went to a nerdy academic school, and the only teams that did well were badminton, Reach for the Top and Debating : D

I do.

I'm currently watching Laurel & Hardy. Got 10 VCDs to go through. =D

I watched 500 Days of Summer, purely because Joesph Gordon Levitt was in it. :) Not a bad movie actually.
