Look, it's all very well for you unsympathetic passersby to demand coherent tech, environment, design, business, science, politics, sex or whatever else related posts from the random blogger, but we at Talkabout aren't so compliant and easy-going, you hear? Okay? I'll have you know I'm leading a complicated life right now. Things are confusing and frightening and generally disruptive to mental

Waiter, waiter, there's soup in my fly (or) How these Chinese guys attack below the belt

Opposing Orders
2008-03-29 01:47:00
Gerd Wiesler, protagonist of Florian Henckel’s astonishing feature film debut The Lives of Others, is a cliché of German precision. In the first few minutes of the film, we have the man pretty much pegged. He wears grey clothes and a stony expression, and blends into his surroundings with the tidy banality of another brick in the wall. The home he returns to after work is bare enough to put a

Welcome to the East: Wyclef Jean live in Bangalore
2008-04-28 12:47:00
Before Shakira inspired Haitian American musician and producer Wyclef Jean to rap about the truth in her hips, the Clef was fast becoming a man in serious need of some respect. In a recent interview with Scratch, the hip-hop magazine, Wyclef was asked about a possible Fugees reunion. “I’m officially Paul McCartney from the Beatles now,” he replied. “If the Fugees wanna come back… you can’t break

*cracks knuckles* *touches toes* *sniffs the air* *tests water temperature... trips* "glub" ---------------- Being unable to write is like wading through a marshmallow pit in antique diving gear. The territory is soft, unyielding and tinged with a mild purple, your imagination refuses to stretch beyond the sweaty metallic confines of your bodysuit, and nothing you're doing makes much

I thought The Happening was a fun movie and I'm not afraid to blog about it
2008-06-22 21:24:00
Measly RT rating of 20%, last I checked. Fkng bigoted critics, I tell you. So I went and watched The Happening yesterday, resolved to judge the film on its own merit and not its director's unreliable track record. And here's what I think: the premise was brilliant, and carried through effectively to the end; the acting by most of the lead characters was at best good and otherwise serviceable

“And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughing stock or a painful embarrassment.” - Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan’s follow up to 2005’s convention-busting Batman Begins, has just broken the earlier box office record set by Spiderman 3 with a massive opening weekend haul of $158 million.

Shooting the Breeze
2008-08-25 12:58:00
The "off-season" had just begun in the Western Ghats, June's flamboyant way of saying that conventional travel wisdom is for suckers. When our group landed at Kochi airport, fat-cat tourism was taking a break and giving nature a chance to voice its impatience. The sky had darkened and the clouds rumbled with a deep fury. We barely had time to set foot in our van to Kumarakom before the r

“Everybody's talking about it!” “The classic story of power and the press.” “I hate him! I love him! He's a scoundrel! He's a saint! He's crazy! He's a genius!” – advertising taglines for Citizen Kane It was June 1940, and a 24-year old Orson Welles was walking around the studio sets of Radio-Keith-Orpheum Pictures, his mind swelling with possibilities, his eyes agleam, a child
