A bit of everything

[ginger001]

Okay, a quick post about some things related to different fandoms...

* I was pretty happy after the spoilers I read the other day about Spooks series 5. Now I am not so happy :( , probably the opposite, and it isn't even Rupert Penry-Jones related, but in my head it is related to Adam Carter, although in fact is about another character. I sound cryptic, but I don't want to ruin more things about the next series to anybody :S. I read the awful news in spooky_doings, in this post. I'll just say that I had ideas for fics involving Adam and this character... argg.

* I have several Bollywood movies to watch but my incredible desire to do so fights with my need to study (more than a lot!) since my Chinese exam is next Thursday and the Japanese one is the next Wednesday... Both are quite important, but honestly I have more possibilities to pass the Japanese one... I know I've mentioned them before, but the thing is that although I struggle to be far from LJ I just can't :S

* Just in case somebody else is curious, these are the Aamir Khan's movies I have here waiting to be seen:
- Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (I've seen already half of it and probably will watch the rest in the following days because even with the 80's look it's really cute!)
- Raja Hindustani (that I did star watching once months ago but I felt asleep watching... My fault it was pretty late at night. I remember I liked the premise)
- Lagaan (I'm very curious about it but as I don't know why, I relate it in some way to Mangal Pandey, I prefer to be in the mood to watch this one)

And in the last days I've have also bought:
-Andaz Apna Andaz (the cover of the dvd reminded me of some awful Spanish comedies from the seventies, but it was cheap)
-Ghulam (I read the synopsys and I really want to watch this)
-Dil (the same as above)
-Rangeela (the same as above, but I've read so many great things about this one that now I really want to watch it)

* It seems Michael Jackson is going to be in June 5th SMAPXSMAP. I am not curious about that fact because I find him quite creepy (sorry to those who like him. I like some songs but his looks are just... uncomfortable for me). I want to watch that one because I want to see the guys' reaction since they are so impressionable about some International stars... I got the info from smapxsmap. Btw, I've made my brand new 'evil takuya' icon from a image I also got from the community but I don't remember from who. sorry. If somebody knows tell me and I'll credit her.

* Those waiting for new Cedric/Hermione manips or some other artwork related to them... Please bear with me, I'll work in them soon... in a couple of weeks I'll be free to play with Photoshop for entire days!

Eeeee. AAA is a funny movie but it's very slapsticky and it's also very inside-jokey. The more Bollywood you know, the more it would appeal because most of the jokes are tied in with general Bollywood stuff.

I adore QSQT. Ghulam is excellent. Dil starts out rocky (and has horrid fashions) but if you get past the first half-hour, it's quite quite fun. Lagaan is excellent. I love Rangeela.

I really, really like Lagaan. It's so very unlike Mangal Pandey in tone and on the shallow side: no moustaches. But it is very long and so probably not the best thing to be starting if you have to review. :-)

I own Lagaan and I'm not someone who will pay for the quality DVD's because they tend to be expensive. It is pretty long, especially the second half and cricket heavy, but very good. And the score is by A.R. Rahman so extra points! :D I don't care too much for Ghulam but the other Aamir ones you have are all excellent. QSQT is very Romeo and Julietesque. One of the first movies I remember seeing as a kid. Aamir and Juhi are both very sweet one of their earlier roles and I like the songs. Raja Hindustani is another sad love story.

AAA is one of my favorites! But it's kinda corny Indian funny and some of the worst outfits ever! All good stuff, but Jackie Shroff wears a Speedo in Rangeela. :P
Aamir is really good in all of these! He's very good at invoking emotion I think. He does that really well in these. Hope you like. :)

*ahem* Hi :) dangermousie pimped you on her lj and so I came over and squeed a little. I love meeting new bollywood lovers.. I hope you don't mind if I add you!

Out of thoes films, I've only seen Lagaan (i have yet to work my way through Aamir's films.. still working on SRK & Amitabh) - but its very well made and a great film. its been a while since i've watched it, but from my memory it definately was worth the oscar nom.
