Hollywood actresses are, of course, actresses. But talk about Ms. Rai and company and they all suddenly turn masculine. Is that some sort of equal-rights-for-women thing that the Indian press is so keen on? If that’s the case, what about women in other countries? Or are Indian women more equal than others?
Y’know what I hate? When people say “female species”. As Kenan would put it… Why???????????
Don’t they know? Don’t you know? There is no female species. There cannot be a female species!! There can be a female OF the species but NO female species. If there ever was a female species, how would they reproduce?
A male and a female make up a pair of the same species. If males and females were two different species nobody could make babies…
Tigers can mate with Lions to make Tigons and Ligers. They’re feline.
Horses can make it with Donkeys and Zebras to give birth to Mules and Zorses respectively. They’re equine.
See? You don’t get rabbits mounting house-cats (although I’ve seen one try!) because they don’t belong to the same species. A male rabbit needs a female of the same species to breed with. Grow a brain, people!
Go here for more stuff on cross breeds within the species.
Y’know what I like? The Rolling Stones’ Like A Rolling Stone video. They’ve covered Bob Dylan but it’s a job superbly done.
Apart from having Patricia Arquette, which alone is a reason for me to like it, they also have some great visual effects.
First, they have the 180-degree revolving camera thing. I don’t know what it’s called, but they have a semicircle of cameras set up around the subject and each camera captures one image, all simultaneously done. Then the frames are played sequentially, in the order in which the cameras were arranged for it to seem as if one camera has revolved around the subject, frozen in time. An awesome technique, also made use of by the National Geographic Channel to produce some stunning visuals.
Then they have they watery effect, by way of which, limb movements and changing backgrounds are smoothly blurred into each other to give the whole video a drunken stupor feel.
A classic Stones audio and video experience, which is pretty much what can always be expected from the dudes who’re never gone.
Catch it whenever you can.
Y’know what I hate? Public mentality. Actually, Indian public mentality. First, they look for every opportunity to pull down India’s most successful cricket captain, while he's being successful. Now, when he's truly struggling and fully aware of it, and been given the boot, the public want to see him given a fighting chance instead, to give the appearance that they are a fair public.
What is the sense in worshipping a man while still spitting in his face? When you're busy kissing his boots, if you wanna spit in his face...you gotta look up first. Try it to know.
Y’know what I hate? These ugly ass mothas! Just because they live at the bottom of the sea, it doesn’t mean they have an excuse to forget their makeup…
