I had nothing(absolutely) to do the last two days and so watched a lot of TV. VH1 aired "Big in 05" - a taped event showcasing the top acts in Music in 2005. What struck me was one of the live performances was of "Def Leppard" doing "Pour some sugar on me"...What is it???1985? Scott Weiland ( Ex STP, now GNR, future???) was a presenter and looked awful. It was all Rap/R&B/Funk that took centre stage. Could have played some Rock, for crying out loud or may be Nirvana-Unplugged!
I switched to HBO and watched LOTR-"Chapter-1" for the n+1th time. Old Habits die hard..So despite irritating adverts, patience got the better of me and I watched the movie till near end( I have no heart to watch after Boromir's death). "Freak!!!!" my dad called me after getting no response when he asked Why I owned DVD of the movie and still watched the movie on HBO in between the adverts!!
The decision is "Mine!, My Own!!!, My Precioussss!!!"
My cousin(a.k.a Gollum) went a step ahead and watched LOTR-"Chapter-2" on HBO that aired soon after LOTR-1, and watched the very same on DVD with a friend in the following morning and Iam called a FREAK???? When you are crazy, you abandon reasoning...like Saruman!

I also got to see "Equilibrium" on SM and it was gripping..Kudos to Christian Bale. His transition from a cold human exterminator to an emotional friend was compelling and mindblowing. Its plot was Matrix Superlative! WB Yeats' poem recital by Sean Bean was poignant and excellent.
Last few months I was praying for "Wedding Crashers" to release in Mumbai and looks some somebody listened!
It opens on Jan 6 and I'll be there FDFS.
Will be back with reviews..

Well I am no expert here.. but may be the hydro-thermal properties of this region results in a solid ice mass that melts, moves a ship and refreezes....

Well, on New Year'ss Eve, i watched Around The World in 80 Days, then I,Robot and then LOTR-1&2... yeah, i guess i'm a loser...
As for grunge bands, you've come to the right place... check out early sub pop grunge bands like L7 or Dinosaur Jr. or Babes In Toyland or the Melvins or Tad or bands like Blind Melon, Mudhoney, Temple Of The Dog, Mad Season, Verucca Salt, Bikini Kill..... not a big fan of Silverchair or the other bands from the postgrunge era... most of the really good grunge bands were properly functioning before Nevermind's release... i treat any so-called grunge band formed after Sep. 24 1991 as suspect cuz most of em are just fake ripoffs....
