Justice League: Not Ugly, Not Tormenting and Definitely Not a Mess!



Every 1 out of 3 movies releasing from past year and a half has been a superhero film. Production mammoths like Warner Bros, Disney, Marvel etc. have cracked the code and are hitting the soft spot. Sooner or later, this is going to establish as a genre of its own. The latest addition to this new found genre was Justice League *drumrolls*.

Last year's Batman V Superman made it clear that Superman is gone and a huge threat looms over the head of alien creature's favourite playschool, Earth. Batman and Wonder Woman take it on their shoulders to form an alliance of gifted individuals to face the unknown threat together. Until the end of first half, other gifted individuals Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg hop in too to face the self-proclaimed End of the World and the unknown threat, Steppenwolf. The 2 hours 1-minute movie starts with character introductions,  their coming together as a team, working out differences and kicking some asses (Well, super asses to be specific). You must be thinking that's the story of every other superhero movie, right? But the thing which makes this Zack Snyder flick different from the last ones is working on what fans really want and not having the unnecessary dragged and irrelevant scenes. Snyder figured out that only a movie of or under two hours can keep the popcorns hot and the Cold drinks cold. Unlike Batman V Superman, it was not too intense and lacked depth but tried to cover it up with humour and definitely not PG-13 level (sorry Marvel fans). The disappointing parts of the film were its low CGI (which is quite unexpected) and the villain created from this technology, Steppenwolf and his flat tyre plan. While DC is home to antagonists like Joker, Deathstroke, Darkseid etc. who are capable of scaring the living daylights out of our boy scouts with their wits. This supervillain on the other hand just fails to fall in the line and fails miserably.

We all make up our minds for a movie after checking out the reviews, but in this case, you have to turn a blind eye to the precious advice of Movie Pundits. Remember the childhood saying, See for yourself and decide. Well, now is the time you need that piece of advice more than ever. So, keep your expectations in check and go watch Justice League in theatres before your friends spoil it for you.

Why Hindi is Uncool?

Image
It's almost mid of April and I am still unable to find a Summer Internship. This thing is more important than spotting some white chicks with your brown friends in Goa. So, I am preparing my CV to at least be eligible to show up at employers' place. I have mentioned heavy quiver of skill sets such as Expert in Microsoft Powerpoint, considering that I only know how to apply Bubble - Circle transitions. Now, comes the part which put me in a state of dilemma. It is asking Languages you know and I just entered English as first and Hindi as second and scrolled down. But then all of a sudden, I thought of correcting myself and interchange the languages. Now was the worst part - If I put Hindi as first, wouldn't my employer already judge me and if I put English as first, then I would be lying to my conscience because I am that kind of person who loves to speak in Hindi and it is the swearing part that makes it cooler.    Instead of filling the remaining fields and applying

Few Lessons I learnt from College

Image
Title of this post makes it way more obvious than Why Katappa Killed Bahubali that what's it about. This journey from 03rd August, 2015 to 28th May, 2018 was no less than a typical Bollywood Masala. From conflicts, controversies to college-shaming and loads of laughter, this voyage had it all. Without taking much of your time, I'll interrupt my sob story and continue with the theme of this blog. So, here are the following things I learned in college (start of a 14 marks answer): 1. Time is the biggest teacher. Either you learn to flow with it, or stand still to see the world change its shape. It has the power to turn strangers into friends and vice versa. Time will show who's worth it and who/what is not. In the end, you'll regret wasting it on things that never deserved it. 2. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Don't make the mistake of watching 'Dil Chahta Hai' in first year of your college, save it for the last (and yes, that goa trip isn't going to happen).

A Not-So-Normal Day

Image
This is something that happened last week during my midterm exams. I was waiting at the bus stop to get to the college. The many-fold increase in my finger tapping speed was cueing that I had already gotten late. Finally, I saw two large beams coming my way bearing the number 623. This bus was supposed to be a bit crowded but to my surprise, on that particular day, it wasn't. I hopped in and got in line to get the ticket. All of a sudden, I felt a little jerk from behind and within a blink of the moment, I was made like a football passing through a bunch of Barcelona midfielders. One of the midfielder with the tormenting breath was just up to my face and I can assure you, my nostrils have never gone through anything worst. And then the inevitable happened, a hand slipped into my front jeans pocket and my phone went phew!! Without giving any second thought to anything, I reached out and grabbed the hand of the person standing next to me. I asked him for my phone and he did
