movie....called page 3

The movie is about a girl getting pregnant by a movie star. So, the whole movie is about ummm....movie stars (all-side-actors), except a here and there glimpse of some big shots. I saw the movie last night and ended up with a big headache that lasted all night long. The whole movie was a big freak show with clowns dancing here and there(this comment is about the extras that played the role of the rich and famous). I think the producer wanted to make a movie which shows the real side of actors and actresses. But, I think the director was more "influenced by bollywood-hollywood-style". The movie was supposed to be sarcastic and synical. But, it ended up being just hyper inflated like everything around us. The only "real" thing was the lady journalist who was real enough around a fake World. But, with so much over acting in the movie, just like acting by "all" the movie actors. There are just so few actors that know how to act, period.
I don't want to be all sarcastic about the movie, the part about being hit by a terrorist attack which influenced the lady journalist was emotional. For those that don’t know where the phrase “fire the bitch”, came from, it came from the all time best novel “The Fountainhead”. It was a good movie for the masses but I guess I was not impressed. I do not believe that Tata's C.E.O will be found dancing on any pubs dance floors. The man that can make money by turning the soil into steel and the water into electricity will not understand the meaning of liesure. I have been to some big "Disco Partiy" which was only by invitation. I was one of the free loaders just to see what all the frenzy is all about. But, all I see there was, kids of rich fathers who somehow found how to make enough money for their kids to be in that party, but not enough anger and frustation to beat the crap out of them when they went slightly off the designated path of culture and heritage.
I wish the dierctor was a bit more intellectual cause then the movie would have been a whole lot better but I guess that too is a rare commodity in our Indian Culture.

Metaphysics. Book Beta. Chapter 6.

In general, the difficulty arises why, after all, we should look for objects besides those sensed and the intermediates; why do we set up forms or ideas? Suppose it is because the mathematical entities are not objects in front of our eyes, but are, nevertheless like them in that there are many of the same kind, and hence their principles are not numerically determinate. Just as the elements of language are not numerically limited, but only in kind. Similarly, the elements of mathematical intermediates are, even when on the same kind, numerically infinte. Hence, if there are not, besides sensible and mathematical objects, others such as some say ideas are, then primary being cannot be numerically one, but only one in kind. If this need is real, then it is also necessary for this reason to posit ideas. Even if those who say this do not make it explicit, this is at any rate what they want; and they must say what they do because of the idea is in some sense primary being, and none is incidentally. However, if we are to believe both that there are ideas and that their principles are one in number, but not in kind, we have already stated what possible consequence necessarily follow.

Invest In OIL if you can...

Prices of Oil are expected to go over 2$ a Gallon in the Summer. If I were you, I would fill my car's gas up to full and hope it would stay like that all summer long. The experts say that there's little relief in sight for crude-oil prices, which are pushing gasoline costs higher. Oil prices are likely to remain above $60 a barrel into 2006. One analysts have suggested that oil could surpass $60 a barrel in the coming weeks and stay high because of growing global demand, in addition to the limited ability of producers to expand production. So, either we are reaching closer to the time when oil is going to be over in all the wells all over the World or somebody is playing a prank on the whole world !! Anyways, the bad news is, that there has been no GREAT revolution in alternate energy resources including the field of automobiles. So, don't be surprised if it becomes impossible to drive or even fly to any destination whatsoever in the future...

P.S->This is a great time to invest in Oil because the next 30 years or until there is no Oil left on the face of this Earth, the Oil companies are going to make a killing...
