Ghayal Once Again

Watched the above movie on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel.
I will say the movie is modern but the outlook is also old. Not to speak that they have shown close to impossible stunts in the movie.
It is okay for a one time watch. They have shown modern technology but the concept is same as the old Ghayal, that is what I meant.

Spotlight, Udta Punjab

Watched the movies as mentioned above and below:
Spotlight : This movie was watched on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. It is a very good movie to be fair. The best line from the movie, "If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to molest one". That sums up the movie. But it is also a "white movie". I mean where are all the ordinary, normal looking coloured and black people in the movie. They are all missing. Just like Oscars were termed as white a few months back, so can this movie be called so.
Udta Punjab : Watched this movie on the big screen. It is okay to be watched once. It shows the drugs menace within the confines of semi-urban and rural areas.

Te3n, The 5th Wave

Watched two movies as mentioned below:
Te3n : Watched this movie on the big screen. Movie is okay to be watched once.
The 5th Wave : Watched this movie on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. Movie is okay for a one time watch. Maybe a two time watch. But third of fourth time it gets kind of boring. There are some flaws as well especially in the end where the heroine is so easily able to get her brother. Also, the way a single man who is a 'double' is easily able to blow up the military base.
This movie was watched on Tata Sky Showcace HD Channel and they offer 20 free movies along with the Ultra HD pack. I am now covered 15 movies. 5 free movies remaining I would say.

Housefull 3, Aliens on Moon-The Truth exposed, Netflix, WWE

Watched few stuff in the last few days. I say stuff because I would not term those as "movies" completely.
Housefull 3 ; This was a movie and I watched it on the big screen. This is okay to be watched once. And it was full entertaining.
Aliens on Moon-The Truth exposed : This is a documentary and was watched on Netflix. This is the total opposite of "moon landing fake" theory. This documentary shows that there are "people" or "aliens" on moon and due to them only we have not gone back to the moon.
On Netflix
On Netflix watched a quite few of other stuff as below:
Conspiracy:Moon landing - Compared to earlier which was about 2 hour this was around a one hour documentary and it proved that moon landing was hoax. All astronauts were healthy, it showed. No one suffered any radiation effect. I will say objectively if you wonder. It is more likely that moon landing is hoax and there is no life on the moon. Because if there was life on the moon then at least some independent authority might have spotted it. Even if we assume that NASA is involved in the conspiracy. After watching this documentary it seems it would be easier for NASA to fake a moon landing then hide alien life on moon.
Narcos - Had begun watching this series on Netflix and I must say this is of high quality.
House of Cards : Had begun watching this series on Netflix and I must say this is of high quality.
Sharkanado 2: Was watching this movie on Netflix. Half watched.
Now the present situation is that I have stopped my subscription of Netflix. I do hope to resume it soon. Just got few other things in mind and those needs to be resolved before I resume.
WWE Stuff
I have been watching WWE and TNA shows regularly and if I miss it I download it and watch it. I use Dailymotion to download. I do not subscribe to WWE Network but I feel it would be the best way to watch the shows of WWE. Sometimes we do not feel the urge to watch teh shows but if we have WWE Network we may have the urge not to miss the shows.
I have watched "Rise Above Hope" on Dailymotion. It is a five part video from DVD which chronicles the rise of John Cena. Worth watching I would say.
I have downloaded "The Rock" seven part video from DVD and am watching it. It is worth watching I would say.
I am downloading "The Legacy of Shane McMahon" a five part video from DVD and will watch it definitely.
I downloaded a 30 minute preview of Sting video. Entire video was not available but I am sure on WWE Network it would be available. And that is what would make WWE Network lucrative. you can watch shows like Swerved, Totally Divas and Camp WWE, shows which one does not feel interested to watch on a regular affair. But when is part of WWE Network one may watch it. But what I feel one can only be a member of either Netflix or WWE Network, one cannot be a member of both. In addition to the money outflow one would not feel interested I feel.

Concussion, The Ouija Experiment, Orange is the New Black

Watched two movies and one TV Series as mentioned below.
------------------------------------------------
Concussion : This was watched on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. Movie is worth watching. But the thing is that though the movie story is about a decade and a half old they have made it like a 60's movie. "the more things change the more they remain the same" they say.
------------------------------------------------
The Ouija Experiment : This was watched on Netflix. Okay to watch once. It is a cross between an actual horror movie and like "documentary horror movie" like Blair Witch project which was the about the first to gain prominence in recent times, I believe.
------------------------------------------------
Orange is the New Black : Watched all the 3 seasons which means the full 13*3=39 episodes on Netflix. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Though the movie is about ladies, I feel gents will also find something to learn from the episodes. But we can know that the story is not about very hard core criminal prison but somewhat a mid-pro prison where there is a little bit of freedom available. And we know when men's prison would be involved there will be more violence, more tattoos, more bulging biceps and more abusive language involved we have seen such movies like Con-Air and even in the first episode of Season 2 of OITNB they have shown a sample. There is plenty to learn from the episodes especially the case where they show the flashbacks of how these women turned 'criminal'.
But trust me since the story is about "women prisoners" that is what makes it exiting and fun to watch isn't it? Nobody wants to watch the same stories of male prisoners. It will just be ugly and boring. It just shows how the society is getting more more skewed in favor of women.
Also, I would like to thank Netflix that due to them I was to watch it and that too without any dialogues cut and words bleeped out. I mean the episodes were not censored and I could watch on my own time. No way I could have followed a schedule if I watched on TV. Certainly I believe medium like Netflix is the way to the future. You can watch on your own time and pace and leisure and no ads are there to bother you. Plus you get to enjoy the way the director meant for viewers to see it.
Not like heavily censored as the content presently available on TV.
------------------------------------------------
I now believe that this is plot and a conspiracy to keep people under subjugation. They do not get the content they "should see" so easily. They need to have a Netflix account and a broadband connection and then they can be looted by the telecom providers and the service providers. It is a ploy to keep them as slaves. Slaves to the system and they cannot get the content "for free". Actually nothing is free. Even a DTH connection costs. So I cannot understand why the people can't get the content they deserve?

The Conjuring, Waar

Watched two movies as mentioned above.
The Conjuring : This movie was watched on Netflix. I had seen the movie earlier and so it is second time I watched the movie. It is definitely worth watching.
Waar : This is Pakistani movie which I wanted to watch on Netflix but unfortunately Netflix presently is offering only one Pakistani movie to Indian users which I have seen already "Na Maloom Afraad".
Now since Youtube was banned in Pakistan for a long time (since 2012), this Waar movie was unavailable on Youtube. If Youtube was not banned someone long back would have uploaded it. But now it is available and watched the movie. It is too good movie and action sequences are excellent and all people especially Indians and Westerners should watch this movie so that they get perspective of terrorism from the Pakistani side.

Cultural baggage of Twitter

I will say that I have been using Twitter for a few days and what I feel is as below:

• Twitter is like carrying on an extra baggage on your bag. You feel burdened if you have a Twitter account.
• Twitter forces you to be fixated to your screen. It gives you less freedom of movement compared to watching TV or Watching a movie or going for a walk and the like.
• People you follow you become subjected to them. So what happens Twitter ensures that you get a dose of cultural hegemony.
• The cultural hegemony is what can be termed a "cultural imperialism of Twitter"
• Just like the British ruled over India in pre-independence times, Twitter simply rules over you.
• So what do you need to do? To get away from the cultural hegemony of Twitter.
• You can stop following people.
• You can uninstall it from your smartphone/tablet.
• Best is if you delete the account. Like they say in India "Na bachega baas na bajega bansuri". It means that if the musical instrument is destroyed/removed from the picture then there is no way that tune can be played and thus noise pollution can be avoided.

So after analysing the above, I have decided to delete Twitter account once more. Please note that while writing this blog I have already unfollowed more than 1500 people/accounts and already removed the Twitter app from my smartphone.
But I will analyse what I have done before coming to this decision.

• I had opened two accounts like I had outlined in another blogpost.
• Then I searched whether accounts can be merged in Twitter and Twitter says that they have no facility to merge accounts.
• So I decided to follow all from one account in the other.
• Then I unfollowed all from that account and then I deleted the account.
• So I was left with only one account with around 1500 accounts/users I was following. 900 + from one account and 500 + from another account.
• Now what happened that the news feed was too crumpled and then I realised very important facts.
• Twitter is like a Window from a train (for example). You cannot keep peeking out of the window you will go crazy. You keeping peeking out from time to time and then you get a picture which is the picture at that very instant; what you missed you missed you cannot get it back. The Twitter window is the Newsfeed which we get.
• What happens in Twitter stays in Twitter. That is applicable for those who stay in Twitter. But those who leave Twitter it doesn't matter. Also like I write about Twitter in the blog it not the same for me anymore that 'What Happens in Twitter stays in Twitter'.
• I feel Twitter creates a few "dummy accounts" by itself. Else someone does it using Twitter. They are like 'mechanical accounts' and they follow you like 'automatically', like 'bots'. Just so that you feel that Twitter is for real. I mean nothing wrong with that. You feel wanted and you feel 'valued'. It helps people who are depressed with life, they take confidence in the fact that they have several followers. How I knew it? I knew it from the fact that a few accounts which followed me had the same pattern of images.

In the end I will say Goodbye to Twitter and will try to praise those who carry this "Twitter baggage" around their lives. They can continue to lead their lives and help and inspire others while still being on Twitter and that is great.
