Movie Quotes - Guess 'em

I love Time. It’s never biased, waits for none and never quits. Past week has been quite lazy and busy. So, apologies for staying low and breathing less on the blogosphere. It calls for a less serious post.

This is my second one on the movie quotes. The first one drew some audience and was 7 months ago. It was unlike Time, predominantly biased on language and the concept. I have tried to stay away from such in this post. Tamil movie quotes (in Tanglish) are also included this time. So, here you go, guess these movie quotes. In your comments list them as E1 or E2 for the English ones and T1 or T2 for the Tamil ones.
Donot google it or see the comments section before guessing. You might spoil the fun of it!

Disclaimer: On the Tamil quotes, Mr. & Mrs. Google were not able to find any database dedicated to the South Indian cinema quotes and henceforth I trusted my memory. So if my line and length are not the way it’s supposed to be, you are welcome to suggest some corrections.

English

  1. ...the things that people in love do to each other, they remember. And if they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive.
  2. .....you've never looked at a woman and been truly vulnerable. Known that someone could kill you with a look. That someone could rescue you from grief. That God had put an angel on Earth just for you. And you wouldn't know how it felt to be her angel.
  3. . . . you could call it a "communal farm," I suppose. But we've all come to the same conclusion - our Gita, the Muslim's Koran or your Bible - it's always the simple things that catch your breath - "Love thy neighbor as thyself" - not always practiced - but it's something we Hindus could learn a lot from.
  4. Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating
  5. My father once said to me that you don't choose the things you believe in, they choose you.
  6. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.
  7. People want leadership. And in the absence of genuine leadership, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership, Mr. President. They're so thirsty for it, they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.

Tamil ( in Tanglish)

  1. Paathu welai sei. Paatha udnai welai seiyaade
  2. Podhuva ambalinga modalla thappa mudivu edupaanga, aana anda anubavathla adhuku appram sariya mudivu edupaanga. Aaana pombalinga appadi illainga, modaliye sariyana mudivu than edupaaanga aana appram adhu sariya thaan iurkumnnu nenachi thappu thappa mudivu edupaanga
  3. Ganesan! Naan unga ponna kalyanam panika aasai padren. Amudhava thatha eduka virupa padren. Modaluku unga sammadham wenum mathaddhuku unga kei ezhuthu.
  4. Naan RRRRomba artist sir...!
  5. Namaku oruthara pidhiruchi naa, avanga enna senjaalum pidika arabichuidum. Ade maadri namaku oruthara pidikama poiduchi na, avanga evlo naladhu senjaalum adhu pidikaaadhu
  6. Adutha vela sothuku vazhi illama irundhirukaya? vaangina kadana thirumbi kuduka mudiyaama ungamma serupadi vaangaradha paathirukaya? padikavendiya vayasula naadagathula vesham potirukaya? unnakenna appa headmaster govt sambalam, tamil kathukuduthutaaru pesara
  7. …Okay!...Othukaren… Unna modal thadava pathadhulende enaku pidichindhudhu..naan kaamchikala. Inime mariachi projanam illa. Kalayanam panikalam!! Inilendhu correcta oru maaasathula kalyanam panikalam.

Entertainment-Hwood forthcoming!

Well, this is not one of my usual blogs. Never wanted this blog to be a media kind but couldn’t help talking about this. Apologies if short pitched on expectations!

FEEDREADER (thanks to Srikanth Pulapaka) I don’t know how many of you guys use this to read your blogs and news. Its quite efficient, doesn’t let you go to each of the blogs through your mozilla or IE and refresh it everyday for updates. Instead, it supplies the links and content as text as soon as it is updated! Well, the geeky way of telling it is that Feedreader is a lightweight open-source aggregator that supports RSS and ATOM formats. It works under Windows 95 and later versions. If you are wondering how in the world is this relevant to the Forthcoming Movies, well it is. I was looking at one of the other blogs that I usually read, a media kind by a Lazygeek and was amused to find that his network is pretty good in delivering the news information to keep track of the current affairs, especially in the entertainment sectors. So, I was looking forward to enhance the newsing sectors through this Feedreader. The prefixed feeds popped me up some news about two interesting forthcoming movies! The Indiana Jones 4 and The DaVinci Code! May be I am late ...but it’s always better to be late than never!

Well, most of the adv movie fans would love the former for the obvious reasons, Anyways , the team could be Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Karen Allen, Kate Capshaw, Calista Flockhart (rumored), Colin Hanks (rumored), John Rhys-Davies (rumored) Director: Steven Spielberg Writer: Jeff Nathanson. Rumors were also towards M. Night Shyamalan and Tom Stoppard who were each asked to pen a draft of the screenplay.

Release Date 2006

The tentative script is that the Indiana Jones may be searching for the Lost City of Atlantis in his latest adventure, and rumors say that Lucas and Spielberg have recently approved the scripts and may be Indy 4 can be expected to in the news pretty soon!

The Second one is The DaVinci code...It’s been up on the best sellers for a while now, turning out to be one of the most controversial books of all time! If you have not read it yet! You are missing something! Initial rumors said it was going to be a James Cameroon film. Apparently, now it’s the beautiful mind leading the team, yes, its going to be a Ron Howard film.

The Trailer looks neat! Btw the star cast includes, Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Jean Reno, Sir Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina. There is a whole bunch of information to be delivered by the team. It’s not going to be easy, but considering the reputation of the team, Iam sure it would be as entertaining and gripping as the original work!!

"Chandramukhi" in Atlanta


Chandramukhi - A must-see! Posted by Hello

Statutory warning: This description reflects the character of a bunch of Indian graduate students who wanted to get away from their mundane activities and enjoy the phenomenon of their existence. Any breach of moral conduct is intentional and were forced to be temporary!

April 16th 2004, six future doctorates marched their way to the theatrical exposition of what we called “Chandramukhi”, a Rajnikanth starrer. All of us were looking for a reason to feel nostalgic and touch those silly childhood memories that are filled with the celebration of the only Superstar of Tamil cinema. We drove all the way from Cookeville, Tennessee to Atlanta, Georgia. A 4-hour drive with brains all over, even the trunk of the jeep was filled with thoughts on the next day.

The day started well as we filled in our pots with atypical sambar-vadas and dosai’s at the Madras Saravana Bhavan, complaining on the quality of the FDA disapproved food material at the same time running all over grabbing the chances to pick those last few vadais from the buffet. From that point on, we weren’t distracted by those moral educated thoughts that the brain popped up every now and then, it was just the heart that was motivating us to find the fun in what we were doing. That took us in to the Indian stores and persuaded us to buy camphor and coconuts to take care of the eye factors that might influence the effect of Chandramukhi’s success! Sounds hilarious? Initially we were looking for pumpkins or watermelons but we were forced to settle with what we had at that point! We took some videos as well as some pictures and I guess none of them turned out well. Let me work on that and try to publish them here.

No digression! We went all the way to the theatre and were pissed off to see there was just one small poster and nothing else on our beloved hero! Then we realized that it’s not one of those typical Indian movie screening theatres. We had Sin city and all other kinds running along! Doesn’t matter! it didn’t stop us. We celebrated the phenomenon by negating the eye factors with those coconuts and camphor, followed by distributing it as prasadams to our fellow fans who were watching and enjoying what they could’nt do. Stepped in to the theater with the usual O podu’s and ooh aaah’s! Made sure that at least 50% of the theater had to turn themselves deaf and watch us on our favorite air products that are termed as noise pollution as well as whistles, forgot to mention that we bought some artificial whistles for the non-whistling doctoral candidates. The first scene of Rajni’s 153rd celluloid appearance forced us to run to the screen and take his beloved feet! Insane! Yes it was, but blissfully saved in the medulla oblongata! The movie was filled with hero worships and celebration of the long wait. I don’t want to reveal the plot and any other aspect of the movie, but on the whole, the movie is a must-watch! Not a typical Rajnikanth movie that we were brought-up with, but was filled with all ingredients for a good entertainer! We had mixed emotions after watching the movie, was not as bad as the last one but clearly not his best as well! May be its impossible for him to satisfy his wide spectrum of audience. But no matter what, it was great to witness the energy and excitement that we shared with our fellow fans and was happy to know that the movie is already the blockbuster of the year!

Rajni starrer -2

Well, for this I have no words! Call them illterates or whatever...but he is that big!!


The craziest I have seen so far


Well ...!! Posted by Hello

A Rajni starrer!

It was one of those jobless hours when I started thinking of tracing the days that had grown upon me all these years! The never ending love for the energy and excitement that I get out of watching a Rajnikanth starrer on the first day of release! Call me crazy, I dont care! May be it was from the day I was born. From what I hear from my parents, I learnt to do the thing that Rajni does with his hair (during his hairy days), even before I started to tell my name! Well, it’s about the same energy level right now! May be even more! It’s one of those most celebrated days in Tamil film industry! His new movie hits the screen today and from what I hear and read, it’s going to be the year’s biggest blockbuster!

So, here we go...thought of sharing this bliss with you all through some pictures and quotes that I stole from the internet planet! For people who have no clue on how crazy and wild it can get, what you are seeing is just a cover sheet!! I still haven’t watched the movie yet, but we are planning on driving to Atlanta this weekend to realize the incomprehensible! May be I will update more on that later!

Go easy - Find these movie quotes!

The past few threads have been serious ones! Let me take a break!

Here we are with some movie quotes...! I know that a bunch of regular readers can crack these quotes easily...try and tell me which movie is it from and who says it!

You can number em and list it in your comments! Lets see who cracks it first....and folks don't google it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you develop an infatuation for someone, you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason, a bad one will do just as well. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example: in the long run that's just the kind of dumb irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But at the time - it's the charming eccentricity you've been searching for all these years.

I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.

I'm the only one on the face of the earth who realizes that you're the greatest woman on earth. I'm the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing you do -- in every single thought you have...in how you are with Spencer -- Spence...in how you say what you mean and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good...

You fucking prick, we had a deal--you said you wouldn't fuck me and I wouldn't fuck you until we had this fuck out of the fucking picture. You crossed the line, man.

I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

A woman's shoulders are the frontlines of her mystique. And her neck, if she's alive, has the very mystery of a border town. It's the no man's land in the battle between mind and body.

And oh, I don't know if you're interested in this detail, but I was just about to tell you that I love him. I love him, and I don't care what you think. I love him for the guy he wants to be, and I love him for the guy he almost is.I love him.

Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.
