All of the estimated $ 300 million spent, all the hype and publicity and the anticipation -It all boils down to the 2hours 40 minutes spent in the dark IMAX auditorium with my 3D spectacles on. And James Cameron shows why (as he quite rightly shouted out loud in his Oscar winning speech) he is indeed the King of the World. I cannot think of any other movie which created so much buzz and excitement around it. And does it live up to all of it. It so well does. Avatar is a revolutionary piece of cinema. But apart from the technological breakthrough in its imagery, the story telling by Master Cameron and its smart comparison with contemporary geo-political situations is what makes Avatar one of the best Blockbusting, Mind-Blowing, Heart-Wrenching and Eye-Popping spectaculars.

So, I went to Bluewater on Saturday. I have been there just once before, and the first time was more of a brief visit than anything else. Personally, I don’t like long whole day shopping sessions. I just get tired easily. But I had no idea of what awesomeness was in store for me. I have been writing way too much in my previous posts. So, this one is going to be just about pictures, pictures and more pictures [ accompanied by tiny, little comments]. The pictures have been taken by my very humble Samsung J200′s 1.3 MP camera. So don’t expect much of a quality. But to have captured all the goodness just made my day.
Here’s batch 1: WH Smith’s book collection of Biographies.

You know I have been showing off my digital art with the aid of my new Tablet – The Trust TB 7300. And I have been particularly interested in drawing the white on black stuff. It somehow gives an edge over conventional black on white. And I hate colouring. But, the Frank Miller style of art seen in Sin City series, is brilliant. I did get a lot of positive response for my previous sketch of Kira. But, people kept on complaining that I was too inclined towards Jap anime characters, and DC -Marvel Universe is getting neglected. So, here we go. Starting with this one. I have attempted to do a sketch of Wolverine.
Here’s work in Progress – a sketch of the head. Looks like Rorsach’s mask 
After the Jump, the full High-Resolution pic of the Sketch of Wolverine. And a Diwali Bonus

Hollywood summer blockbusters have been following a particular trend year after year after year. And that is of the high budget popcorn entertainers solely driven by, and reliant on a hyperkinetic style of octane-exploding, fast-cutting, eye popping soul-less and plotless bag of shit. And amongst those farted by the likes of Michael Bay, we get an awesome sci-fi flick which has almost no known names associated except for producer Peter Jackson. District 9 surprised me, amazed me and held me by the collar pulling me straight towards the screen and enthralled me by the magic that we once called cinema. It has redefined the art of storytelling. If I was to compare the levels at which the movie connects, I would mention movie marvels such as City of God, Black Hawk Down and ET. As @leesargent from QYDJ tweeted me once, it is indeed different shades of awesome. And here’s why!
Pssst.***May contain spoilers.***
But, if you haven’t seen this movie, drop anything you’re doing right now and go watch it.
