Well hello 2 followers!

 

Now that there are actually 2 people following this blog, I suddenly feel small pangs of obligation to write things. Isnt that strange how that works? We feel obligated to do things when we feel someone is looking, but the freedom to do other things when we think no one is looking? Enough philosophy for this morning. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the Stamm Tisch on Thursday, as I had something better to do, meaning, that I went to the movies with my wife. Not that I wouldn't have enjoyed the Stamm Tisch, I mean I always enjoy it, but going to the movies with my wife is a rare treat.

 

We went to see "Slumdog Millionaire", and I must say I was sceptical at first and really didn't relish the thought, thinking it would be more like Titanic with curry, but I was absolutely wrong, and even more swept away. I truly think that it won the Oscars with due merit! It really had all elements of great cinema, and I think that it will be a milestone, not only for India, but for the whole branch – Yes! You can make an Indian film with practically no mass-dance-scenes! Actually, the story was binding, the plot epic, and the camera and setting dreams of themselves. This will be a movie to be shown every Easter for the next 20 years. (after the licensing is all cleared up). Really an enjoyable night. So I am sorry for Dawn and Heather, but this time I have to say, that Jamal was the clear winner.

 

BUT! If anyone else would like to send a note, on how the Stamm Tisch was, please feel free to send a mail, and I will post it (them)

 

Cheers,

Alan
