Cine ramblings

First things first - Apologies for being spaced out for such a lonnnnnnng time w/o posting anything. I'm not a filmy person (like my Director-aspirant hubby); I'm more into music (esply Carnatic, Hindustani and Raja sir, of course :) ). Earlier, I used to watch classical, offbeat movies but ot so often, but after marraige I've somehow taken an interest to movies, gossips, Pg 3 kinda things and all that (Talk about sagavaasa dosham, hmmm). One of my colleagues jokingly asked me thus - 'So if S saar makes a movie u can be in charge of the Music dept and we can see ur name in the screen!' Though i seriously doubt if 'S saar' would entrust me wid dat job. Well, a keen observer of people & things around (It pays to be a caricaturist, man) I have observed some things (some stupid also) in films which I'd lilke to pour down....
Yaen, yaen, yaen:
1. Despite giving their best efforts (that too sans pancakes mostly), Director Bala's heroines will only ee ottufy after the movie? Eg: Sangeetha, Laila in Pithamagan; wonderful Pooja in Naan Kadavul. Where are the gals now? Same goes wid Kamal Saar's (my friend AL, I affixed saar to ur hero :) ) heroines also - Abirami in Virumaandi; Kasturi, suganya in Indian, kiran in Anbe Sivam (avanga nadicha padam adhu onnu thaan, mathadhu ellam kaatina padam!)
2. People who applied loads of powder and make-up on Amala Paul's face in MUK completely forgot about her knees? Look at the poster and you will see her in a denim shorts walking wid black knees and elsewhere its all white!! (when I pointed out this, friends said I've a twisted mind, ugh!)
3. Why is it for a K-town hero all the blue skies, white moon and innumerable stars and other mundane things become sooooooooo new only after falling in Lavvv? (hello, unga amma nilava kaati soru ootnadhu ilaya pa?). I called my husband to watch the full moon and i got a sound snore as reply. (Yes, i hear some of u say Befitting. I can read minds, u rascala!)
4. Y is it Suhasini still thinks her husband is the best dir despite churning out a string of flops? for eg, while reacting to some glitches in the rec ently-organised Chennai Film Festival, she stressed dis and said: Adhu maniratnam aagave irundaalum kooda.... (Over confidence, odambukku aagadhu madam)
5. Y no one wants to experiment a film with Simbu as the hero deprived of his speech faculty? (Pls some rest for our ears)
6. Y is it people think one has to torture his/her own self (like tonsuring, 6,8 packs, sipping meals, sudden weight gain, bla bla) to achieve acting? I dont think Sivaji did any of these things but still acknowledged as the best actor globally (Vikram pls note this).
7. Y in the name of taking realism cinema and bringing new heroes, every director shatters our dreams? All parattai thalais, dhaadis, beedis, Yikes! (Enga kanavula nalla azhagana heroes vandhu rommmmmba naal aachu :'( )
PS: Yesterday I watched 'The Artist' movie. Marvellous screenplay and acting. And the actress reminded me of Suhasini (with her oval face, irukka-illaiya cheeks and her smile) and when i told dis to my hubby seated next to me, he was ROTFL. Unakku eppadi ipdi thonudhu?! If u watch the movie and heroine, in particular, pls post a comment here....
