To prove the movie-buff quirk

Here's what we booked through BookEazy alone between March and November this year (including personal rating opinions :D):
  1. Quantum of Solace ~
  2. The Accidental Husband ***
  3. Kidnap #
  4. Hellboy II: The Golden Army **
  5. Mamma Mia! ***** (My first English musical, and I thoroughly enjoyed the perfection that is  Meryl Streep.)
  6. Tahaan ***** (There's beauty in simplicity.)
  7. Wall-E ***** (The bestest film of the year, methinks.)
  8. Wanted ***
  9. Rock On ***** (Why was Farhan Akhtar in hiding for so long?)
  10. Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam ***
  11. Ugly Aur Pagli ~
  12. The Dark Knight ****
  13. Kung Fu Panda ****
  14. Hancock ****
  15. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na ****
  16. In Bruges ***** (Colin Farrell couldn't have been more cuter / funnier than this; also enjoyed Brendan Gleeson a.k.a. Prof. Mad-Eye Moody and Ralph Fiennes a.k.a. Lord Voldemort.)
  17. The Nanny Diaries **
  18. The Incredible Hulk ***
  19. The Happening #
  20. 21 **** (One of the sleekest films of the year.)
  21. Summer 2007 **
  22. Sex and the City ~
  23. Be Kind Rewind ***
  24. Tashan #
  25. December Boys **
**** (better) and *** (good) For the fans of certain actors or sequels.
** Okay to watch once.
~ Wouldn't have made a fackin' difference (as TRNM would've put it) to my life if I hadn't watched 'em.
# To be AVOIDED at all costs (just in case you didn't, do notice the bold, italics, and CAPS).

Money spent on booking: Rs. 4230... possibly some more as the reservation, and some security deposit that BookEazy refunds on closing the account. Also, parking fees. Not to mention the food consumed before / during / after the shows.

Of course, there were other movies that we watched by booking online through the respective cinema halls' websites. But that's another story.

Hi,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Anti-brevity’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,

ray: Thank you so much for the offer, but I don't think I'm ready for any ardent fans yet. I'll drop the website you mentioned sometime, of course.

Drop by... I mean (hides away in embarrassment)!
