Apocalypse WWI and WWII

  • Watched the above series in Airtel XStream.
  • The name of the series is Apocalypse WWI and WWII.
  • As the name suggests this series deals with World War 1 and World War 2.
  • Apocalypse WWI has five episodes.
  • Apocalypse WWII has six episodes.
  • I mean I have seen the series "World War 2 in Colour" on Netflix. 
  • First I watched Apocalypse WWI on Xstream.
  • Airtel only suggested it though notification on my mobile.
  • I tried to download it and watch it and then after Google Search realised that since Airtel Xstream does not own the content it cannot be downloaded and can only be watched through streaming mode.
  • Then I tried to download XStream App on Amazon Firestick but it just does not happen that way.
  • XStream has got its own "stick" and it can be bought on Flipkart.
  • Else you can watch it on Airtel DTH XStream Set top box.
  • But Airtel XStrem app on mobile works fine.
  • On Amazon Firestick there is the Silk browser and using the browser you can open websites.
  • And Airtel Xstream has a website just like Netflix and others which have website+app.
  • So I watched it in a combination of Mobile and Firestick using the Silk browser.
  • It was great to see moving images from World War 1 and in colour.
  • World War 1 itself became highly mechanized towards the end.
  • World War 2 presentation was also brutal.
  • It was shown how war is futile and waste.
  • Hitler took the world and his own country Germany to ruins.
  • United Nations was formed at the end of World War 2 and its main aim was to prevent war and I feel history shows that it has not been successful as powerful countries still harass weaker countries on various issues.
  • Let us not forget the Korean War or Vietnam War or Middle East Wars.
  • Let us hope better sense prevails and people realise that war is no solution to problems of any country.
  • People should come first.
  • Also racism is bad for the world.
  • As was in World War 2, there was racism against the Jews among others in Europe which led to the extermination.
  • There was racism of White man against the Yellow man which resulted in Korean War and then Vietnam War.
  • Second World war did not end this racism and racial superiority.
  • Now that is the reason for conflict in the world.
  • People need to realise that our creator is one and the same.

The Current War, Overcomer

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line above.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Current War
  • This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall.
  • I liked the movie.
  • It shows us an aspect of history which we may not have knowledge about because it wasn't taught in schools and stuff. 
  • Now that we have seen the movie we may be inclined to do more research about it.
  • I will say it is very important to know about our past because it has already happened and it should give us an idea how the present has come to be as it is.
  • This movie was supposed to release in 2017 but due to Weinstein and #Metoo controversies this has got delayed and saw the light of the day in 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Overcomer
  •  This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Very good "Christian" movie with family values and stuff.
  • After watching this movie we can say that though we may follow other religions we lead lives which are like shown in the movie.
  • In other words general public will also like the movie.
  • This movie can be shown to school kids and groups of people who can go directly from Church to the Cinema hall.
  • Definitely worth watching.

Housefull 4, The Sky is Pink, Dream Girl, Terminator Dark Fate

Watched four movies as mentioned above in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Housefull 4
  • This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall.
  • Full comedy movie.
  • But after watching the movie you feel "drained" .
  • Still okay to be watched once. 
  • And if you do not watch it you will never know how bad or how good(?) the movie is.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Sky is Pink
  • This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall.
  • Full emotional movie. 
  • Movie brings tear to the eye.
  • Okay to be watched once without any problem.
------------------------------------------------------------
Dream Girl
  • This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Vega City Mall.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Ayushman Khurana by doing such roles proves that he is "the man".
  • Surely he has got big future as he is not willing to be afraid and try out different kind of roles.
------------------------------------------------------------
Terminator Dark Fate
  • This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Vega City Mall.
  • I liked the movie.
  • John Connor happens to be Dani and the movie is worth watching for all.
  • In spite of what the critics say, this movie is the way to future as it is "empowering" for women.
  • Even if the audience is predominantly male, the makers have shown a future which is very likely.
  • Maybe the makers want more and more women to become Terminator fans like for Star Wars among other series.

Downtown Abbey, Gemini Man, Joker, War

Have watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Downtown Abbey
  • This movie was watched at PVR, Forum mall.
  • I liked the movie as time pass only.
  • I did not like the gay element in the movie.
  • Then browsing through Google and Wikipedia I came to know that this was a highly popular series which aired from 2010 to 2015.
  • Movie has also made quite a tidy sum of money.
  • This is like a phenomena.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gemini Man
  • This movie was watched at PVR, 4DX screen at Forum Mall. 
  • I was the only person in the hall watching the afternoon show.
  • But they did not sent me back and the show ran.
  • It was first 4DX experience for me.
  • I watched IT Chapter 2 in IMAX screen in same PVR, Forum Mall. It was my first IMAX experience after great many years.
  • I had seen IMAX screen at Wadala Mumbai and nowhere else.
  • But 4DX experience was first ever.
  • And the seat was jerking and there was breeze and smell and flash of lighting.
  • I guess 4DX experience should be experienced.
  • IMAX is huge screen with curved form but 4DX is small screen with associated motions and experiences.
  • As far as the movie is concerned I liked the movie.
  • Worth watching according to me especially for Will Smith fans.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Joker
  • This movie was watched at Onyx Theatre which is also known as Shankarnag.
  • Upon Google Search it was known that Onyx theatre is made and promoted by Samsung Company.
  • The theatre is also refurbished and made new.
  • https://www.telegraphindia.com/technology/with-onyx-cinema-led-screen-projector-less-movie-theatres-are-seeing-growth/cid/1689468
  • The above is the news article when the theatre was launched.
  • It is supposedly some new technology which is being deployed.
  • As far as the movie is concerned the movie is okay to be watched once.
  • I mean the movie is very well made no doubt about it.
  • But I did not like how the society is being degenerated is shown. 
  • I mean the movie is set in 1980's but it has a very 21st Century feel to it I felt.
  • Certainly they could not have made like this movie in 1980's.
--------------------------------------------------------------
War
  • This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
  • I liked the movie for a one time watch. 
  • And I felt Tiger Shroff is not in the movie inspite of being in the movie.
  • This is sort of like Badla movie where though Amitabh Bachchan is in the movie he is not there in the movie.
  • As Tiger Shroff character dies off in the movie and that si why it felt like that.
  • I feel that is the magic of movie.
  • Even when Tiger Shroff is in the movie we feel he is not there.

It:Chapter 2, Saaho, The Goldfinch, Rambo:Last Blood

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line over the past few days.
------------------------------------------------------------
It:Chapter 2
  • This movie was watched at PVR Movies, Forum Mall 
  • I liked the movie.
  • Now in this movie the It is revealed and he is been there for millions of year at Derry, Connecticut. (It is Maine as Google Search reveals)
  • Before the "new Americans", American Indians have dealt with It.
  • Basically It is a monster which is residing there.
  • I feel the story now becomes not much different from Indian legend stories about demons or "Rakshashas".
------------------------------------------------------------
Saaho
  • This movie in Hindi version was watched at PVR Cinemas, Vega City.
  • I liked the movie.
  • I feel or felt that Prabhas is a truly "Hyderabad feel" actor.
  • By watching Prabhas or Saaho in action you feel you get transported to Hyderabad without actually physically traveling maybe just like when you watch a Rajnikant movie like Robot you get transported to Chennai.
  • Movie is a pain but for the last 10 minutes when the "prodigal son" returns.
  • So this movie is like "Bahubali redux".
------------------------------------------------------------
The Goldfinch
  • This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum mall.
  • During the movie itself I was browsing through Net and came to know that this movie lost 50 million Dollars.
  • I mean it is unbelievable that this movie lost $50 million.
  • But I liked the movie.
  • Worth watching if you ask me.
------------------------------------------------------------
Rambo:Last Blood
  •  This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum mall.
  • I liked the movie
  • The main villain looks like Jon Snow of Game of Thrones if you ask me. 
  • The villians did not have to be Mexicans.
  • They could be based from John Rambo own country or Canadians if you ask me.
  • John Rambo's action and response would still have been the same.
  • It is hardcore action and "fully male" movie if you ask me.
  • A+ Macho movie.
  • John Rambo is still ready for more in the end it is shown.
  • Does not have to be Last Blood if you ask me.

Three pillars of democracy


  • We have learnt in school that there are three pillars of democracy
  • The three pillars are judiciary, executive and legislature.
  • That should be the case if healthy democracy is to survive in any country.
  • But what is happening in present BJP RSS ruled India is that there is no difference between those three.
  • All are acting as one to push the BJP RSS agenda through.
  • They are just not bothered as to what happens to ordinary people in the process.
  • Their slogan is #uck democracy.
  • "We will do what we think is right".
  • "We have the Jewish lobby and the State of Israel who back our harcore Hindutva agenda".
  • "We have to just do our things in our land."
  • And at the international level, Jewish lobby will do the work and then International Community will turn a blind eye.
  • Apart from this there is fourth pillar which is the press.
  • Now since many years press is nothing but a stooge to Politicians including BJP RSS no matter how regressive or backward or tribal their agenda.
  • Whatever bad happens they don't give coverage.
  • Whatever good or even if something minuscule good happens they cover it like India has won the world many times over.
  • And cover the news like they are pushing their agenda.
  • It is really like a dark world with no hope we are living in
  • Further if Elections are themselves in doubt what would be the whole objective of the exercise.
  • Looks like more and more never ending cycle of suffering for the people of India.

August 5 2019 vs August 5 1965

  • The subject of this blog is August 5 2019 vs August 5 1965
  • The reason this BJP Govt chose August 5 as the date when Article 370 was abrogated is because that is the same date in the year 1965 when Pakistan sent its "irregulars" to Kashmir for "Operation Gibraltar".
  • Check this below link.
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAABY_r7dCE
  • The above link consists of Radio address by the then PM Lal Bahadur Shastri who has confirmed the date not once but twice or thrice.
  • The Wikipedia entry also tells as below
  • "On 5 August 1965 between 26,000 and 33,000 Pakistani soldiers crossed the Line of Control dressed as Kashmiri locals headed for various areas within Kashmir. Indian forces, tipped off by the local populace, crossed the cease fire line on 15 August"
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1965
  • The Wikipedia article also mentions that at that time, the local Kashmiri populace gave away the locations of the infiltrators. "tipped off by the local populace"
  • Now the Kashmiri people must be regretting the decisions of their forefathers.
  • They must be thinking at the time it would have been better to do otherwise.
  • They got *ucked by India really bad over the decades and even more now with just what happened in August 5, 2019.
  • What has become of India.
  • It has become like a blood sucking vampire surrounding the Kashmiris.
  • Now let it be clear to each one and all, BJP Govt is out for vengeance.
  • Since it happened on August 5, 1965 we will also do it on August 5, 2019. 
  • Please remember no matter where you are from or where you are based, if you are reading this remember that the Hindu cannot be trusted.
  • You may trust a person from India but when the Indian person has made his intentions clear like he is a Hindu and stuff he just doesn't care from anything or anyone.
  • If Kashmir is today, tomorrow it would be Afghanistan, day after tomorrow it would be Pakistan or China and subsequent to that it may be Japan, Australia and even US or UK.
  • No country is safe from these Hindu Zionists.
  • My only appeal is that you people use your heads and don't give space to this Hindu Zionists.
  • If we listen to Lal bahadur Shastri address he was not "overtly Hindu" but placed emphasis on all religion and peoples. And that was in 1965.
  • Now in 2019 if such kind of regressive thinking can happen in Indian leadership just think where the world is headed.
